I totally agree. It is not necessary to use the maneuver at the kids level. If it were not allowed, coaches could focus on developing better skills and techniques and not have to worry about developing a counter to the death grip. I do believe that wrestling is a very physical almost violent sport and that is why I like it so do not call me a puss. It is the closest thing to a fight that a kid will be in without being in a fight and that is why I like it. It teaches kids how to be tough and how to defend themselves and that is why I like it. But it is wrestling and I would prefer to see better skills and techniques emphasized, especially in kids.
