Coach Swenson's philosophy is to get the advantage as soon as the referee blows the whistle. Now, in this excellent demonstration clinic presentation, Swenson shows you how to gain the advantage - on top or underneath - at every whistle. He begins with the breakdown showing four moves that get the opponent heavy on their hands, which takes away nearly every offensive move. Swenson demonstrates Augsburg's main "busts" including their signature Lace Bust. Also shown are the traditional, chop, spiral and side busts, with Swenson putting his Augsburg spin on each. He moves to the down position and shows three escpes - the Inside Power Stand-up, Outside Stand-up and the Tripod Stand-up. In addition, for those times when your wrestlers don't win the whistle, Swenson cover "wrestling off your elbows." These techniques will get your wrestlers off their stomachs and back to their feet.
