I have to aggree with the basics arguement. If more kids would be brought up to wrestle with basic skills, then advanced as they mature into the sport, you would remedy this. I saw, many times over, kids who where "one-trick" wrestlers. Learn that defense, they were done. The best seem to have solid basic fundamental skills. My son won a state championship this year. If you watched him, you saw a;double-leg takedown, sit-out off bottom, and many 1/2 nelson pins. These were taught to him by his first kids coaches. And they were stressed for many years after he started. While he utilizes many different moves he has learned thru the years, he always seemed to incorporate the basics.
