"Bigger guys" wrestle differently than "little guys"! In this video, Olympic heavyweight Kerry McCoy covers four areas to help your heavyweight be in better position to control his opponent to wear him down to get in better position to score. McCoy begins with a brief overview of proper positioning, which will provide your wrestler with a good base of knowledge to improve his offense, counter offense and defense. Next, he covers four of the most common tie-ups that heavyweights find themselves using, including his favorite, the "double biceps." McCoy describes how your heavyweight can defend against these ties and how to use them to move his opponent in position for him to score. From tie-ups, McCoy moves to front headlocks and breaks down three different variations for your heavyweight to use. He closes with a couple of quick finishes your wrestler can use that can score a quick fall from the feet. This video is a great tool that will show your heavyweight how to take any position from the feet and create an advantage. Even though this tape is geared towards heavyweights, the fundamentals described can be effectively taught to, and used by, wrestlers in any weight class!

Olympian Kerry McCoy presents an in-depth look at two of his favorite moves that have helped him become one of the top heavyweight wrestlers in the world.

Kerry McCoy shows in great detail different ways for your heavyweight to increase his offense from his feet while decreasing his opponents scoring chances. The cornerstone to successful wrestling is proper stance - the wrestler in the best position will win every time! Following that philosophy, McCoy starts with a step-by-step look at the proper stance that will increase your wrestler's mobility and optimize his positioning. McCoy covers two of his favorite takedowns - the High Crotch and Sweep Single. McCoy breaks down each move clearly, showing at least three different set-ups and finishes for each move. The key points are hammered home through repetitious drilling of each set-up and finish. This is a great tape for the beginning heavyweight who is looking to become comfortable on his feet, and for the advanced heavyweight who is looking to fine-tune his technique.

Included are basic moves (the Stand-Up and the Changeover), advanced moves (Knee Across), and moves used to score quick points (Elevator Roll). McCoy covers the critical points for each move your wrestler needs to know to make the move successful. As an added bonus McCoy covers four different techniques to defend against leg riders. This tape provides a solid base to work on bottom fundamentals. With training and drilling these moves can be used against any opponent your wrestler faces.

Kerry McCoy provides an in-depth look at the top position, presenting a number of tips and techniques that will help your wrestler stop his opponent's explosion from the bottom. McCoy begins with a look at the proper technique to use when breaking down an opponent. He passes along three secrets that your wrestler can use to get an advantage over his opponent before the whistle even blows! From there he moves into scoring from the top, starting with a tilt series. This series features five different tilts your wrestler can use based on what his opponent does or how much time is left. McCoy always looks to score with a tilt first, but if he can't he flows into a leg series or bar arm series. He shows a number of different scoring variations to use from these two series. With all these options available, McCoy shows how easy it will be for your wrestler to float from one scoring opportunity to another.

With that in mind McCoy demonstrates eight different takedowns and finishes for lighter heavyweights to use when size and strength aren't in their favor. Covered are the Stretch Single, Arm Drag, Elbow Post, Underhook, Knee Pick, Foot Sweep and Snap Down. These moves present an opportunity for your heavyweight to score points without much danger.
