Starting this Friday, we will be holding a class on leg-riding.
- Dates: November 30th – February 8th
- Time: Friday Nights, 6:15-8:15 PM
- Location: North Allegheny wrestling room
- Cost: $100 ($70 for additional siblings)
- Exceptions: There will be no class on January 11th. Class on December 14th may start late (details will follow)
Both offense (from the top) and defense (from the bottom) will be taught; the primary focus will be on “new legs”, though “cross-body legs” will also be covered.
Leg-riding is perhaps the most effective approach to wrestling on top, but it is a difficult skill to learn, and is very risky when done wrong. Riding legs well requires discipline and extensive practice; because of this, it is strongly suggested that athletes not miss classes if possible. Learning a bit of leg-riding is worse than learning none at all.
This course is mostly for experienced wrestlers. Novices who are serious about the sport are welcome as well, but should be ready for a challenge.
