" Hi! My name is Matthew Moyles. I’m a coach here at Minisink Valley. I’m here on behalf of Expert Village and today we’re going to go over competitive wrestling. This next exercise combines both technique and conditioning. It’s what some wrestlers come to call spinning or head control. What I have here is Richard on bottom, Josh will get on top in the standard referees position; right hand on the bellybutton, left hand on the elbow. When I say go, Josh will spin around always keeping his hand underneath the opponents arm, Richard’s arm, and controlling the head. Go. Now this works on also stamina, it gets you in shape and, it also works on that positioning. Look how Josh controls the head and works to stay underneath those arms. When I say go again he’ll switch back the other way. Go. It teaches a wrestler how to stay in good position in regards to another opponents hips. You always want to stay below the arms and above the opponents hips."
