By far you are my favorite wrestling technique breakdown guru… wish I had your channel to view 30 yrs ago! Lol Thanks for making intelligent & entertaining content… good luck moving forward!
1. Spencer Lee (Top) 2. John Smith (Low Single, Recovery from Bad Shot) 3. Yianni D (Crotch Wrap, Defense) 4. David Taylor (Ankle Pick) 5. Austin Desanto (Fireman's, Pace) 7. Jesse Delgado (Funk Roll) Don't sleep on Jesse Delgado, perfected the funk roll. His match with Nico at Big Tens is one of my favorites.
Good list. I would have put in Alex dieringer instead of desanto. His fireman/near arm far leg/dump way superior to desanto, winning youth tourneys to three NCAA titles with it. Even put Burroughs on his back with it.
My freestyle list: 1. Hassan Yazdani (Left hand underhook, constant hand fighting, absolute sportsman of the sport. Very humble yet epic) 2. Taha Akgul (The best heavyweight of this decade, doesn't give up position, controls the mat with pacing and understands the long haul of the match. 3. Rahman Amouzadkhalili (Relentless, very wide stance , allowing him to rarely give up position, never gets tired, always finds a way to win) 4. Frank Chamizo ( defensive mastermind. One of the best fakes in the sport. Loves the overhook Uchimata when opponent is pressuring HARD with an underhook. Whenever the opponent is behind him, he looks for an overhook just to hit a Uchimata. A textbook counter offense style wrestler. 5. SADULAEV (one of the purest wrestlers fundamentally. He understands the entire concept of wrestling and always finds an opportunity to score, no matter the position. Squared stance, rather high in stance but extremely strong, agile, and intelligent. As soon as he gets an underhook, he's looking to slide-by. He loves arm drags and he will dump you even when he has you dead to rights. I don't see Snyder ever beating him again. ) This list is not in order. I can name almost any successful wrestler because every wrestler brings something to the table. However, these are the wrestlers who have had major success with their styles of wrestling.
Let me say this you have a special skill. The way you break stuff down helps other people become better coaches. If wrestling at a super high level is not in your future, which I hope it is, you will make a great coach. Any program would be lucky to have you. Two possible ideas for videos going forward. First breaking down present and past ncaa and world champions that might be a little lesser known and what makes them so special. Second a series on how you would coach a brand new group of youth wrestlers from the very beginning.
Thank you. The only hard thing about finding older film is that the footage is limited (or bad) and the only matches that are typically posted are gold medal/NCAA Final matches and those matches typically have less exchanges since they're wrestling the best of the best who have studied their film a lot. I'm going to do a video on Austin O'Connor though
I've heard it been called a pinch headlock instead of the cruncher. In the application in which it's used in bjj, people are calling it a pinch headlock grip.
I like this b/c you do a great job of picking film out, so it's cool to get your thoughts on guys you like to go to regularly. EDIT - where do you source your film from, if you don't say that in the video (I'm not finished with it)? I know some of it is available in flow and on here, is that where you find things?
Awesome video, thanks man! I'm gonna study Ed Scott now, because I'm working that underhook collar grip he uses. I was actually struggling to find somebody to study for that, so thanks a lot!

Thank you
Let me tell you man, I have watched a few of your videos and you do a phenomenal job of breaking down finer technical points. Great stuff
1. Spencer Lee (Top)
2. John Smith (Low Single, Recovery from Bad Shot)
3. Yianni D (Crotch Wrap, Defense)
4. David Taylor (Ankle Pick)
5. Austin Desanto (Fireman's, Pace)
7. Jesse Delgado (Funk Roll)
Don't sleep on Jesse Delgado, perfected the funk roll. His match with Nico at Big Tens is one of my favorites.
Great list too!
It’s too bad Delgados Shoulder was so messed up his senior year he was so fun to watch
@@justinhampton3544 I know right, that first period against Nahshon was INSANE
@@BrennanCarpenfieldnostalgia just came in
NATO or Metcalf for a Hi C
j'den Cox film breakdown would be a good one.The most underrated USA wrestler.
Jordon Oliver
Zain Retherford is the guy that I use to help kids understand what high level hand fighting is supposed to look like. The man is a buzzsaw.
Good list. I would have put in Alex dieringer instead of desanto. His fireman/near arm far leg/dump way superior to desanto, winning youth tourneys to three NCAA titles with it. Even put Burroughs on his back with it.
Fastest 30 min video I’ve ever watched. Great stuff!
I’m so happy I found this channel! Awesome stuff, looking forward to watching more of your videos!
What are your favorite lighter heavy’s to watch like 170-197 weight range
This comment is hilarious because I’m literally finishing up a crazy video that I’m doing on Jaxon Smith. He’s a 197lber for Maryland

Thanks for sharing, Have you got a list of must watch matches? (doesnt need to be back and forth exciting ones only)
Curious why you have Akgul over Stevenson?
Respect Respect… really appreciate your film reviews and your influence/promoting of the sport.
You have a great mind for the sport, technically and strategically. You will be a great coach.
Loved this fun video. Great breakdown and content as always.
Glad you put O’Conner in there very underrated
Yeah he's very underrated. Glad he came back and got his 2nd National Title
Let me say this you have a special skill.
