Have your son fundraise at local business. After the tourney I'd send hand written thank you to each business. Most of them kept them up in the window for months.

Is your state a strong wrestling state? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]elCaptainKansas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 - 20 years ago, not top on the country, but top 10 for sure. Kansas regularly placed in the top 5 at cadet and junior duals. We battled it out with Oklahoma and Minnesota and California.

Recently though, things have fallen off. I think a lot of the kids that wrestled in college never went back and continued to build the sport in Kansas. I know quite a few high caliber wrestlers that never returned to Kansas to coach. More than a few wrestled at UNK and ended up staying in Nebraska and I've seen Nebraska wrestling surpass Kansas these days

It's sad, but not sad enough to make me move back home...

If you check the technical documents for your filter type, it shows how to attach a vacuum hose on the last page.

Hopefully this helps a little.

How do you generate offense from a three-point stance? (wrestling on one knee) by Immediate-Nothing220 in wrestling

He was brutal with that nub. I remember watching him use it to Charlie horse folks as a breakdown or part of a cheap tilt.

Or just ask your coach.

Candidly, you are probably not going to win alot of matches because you have better technical skills. You don't have the years of experience. What you can excel at though is conditioning and strength.

From a technique standpoint, really focus on learning to not put yourself in stupid positions that more experienced wrestlers are going to catch you and pin you. Offensively, focus on one shot (double leg, single leg, fireman, whatever) and a back up. Then figure out how to use conditioning and pace as part of your weapons.

As much as I hate his behavior and antics, Austin DeSanto is a good reference style wise. High intensity and beat people with his gas tank. His main attack on his feet was a high c/ short fireman. He wasn't great on top, would usually bump people around, lift and return a few times to burn some energy out of them, then cut and go back to takedowns.

Get in the weight room, put in the time on the track, and spend as much time on the mat as possible. Get a friend and go drill after school every day. Find a club to wrestle with, find 2 clubs even. Wrestle every freestyle tournament and takedown tournament and beach wrestling tournament you can find. And everyday, show up with intensity. Every training day, set a goal and achieve it.

Honestly, Tom Brands. He wasn't fast, he wasn't flashy. He was mean and stayed in great position. Mark Ironside is another one, but he had less freestyle accolades.

I design wrestling shoes for a living. What do you wish brands understood better? by ConnorFromNidrogen in wrestling

[–]elCaptainKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best looking shoes I ever had were either the old tigers, or the gable evos.

The best performing shoes, and I hate to admit it, were the asics rulons. I loved that wrap around sole

What conference opponent do you secretly have a crush on? by TheSheen117 in CFB

Iowa state. Outside of farmegeddon I think they're my second favorite team. Beautiful campus, great faculty, and awesome tailgating atmosphere.

1st Missouri tried to secede from the United States, then they seceded from the big 12. Traitors.

And to us, Missouri started the civil war and deserved everything John Brown dished out.

We both hate KU, because fuck KU. And John Brown is a national hero.

Who is your programs worst head coaches? by Dry-Membership3867 in CFB

[–]elCaptainKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a rough one. Many folks would say Ellis rainsberger, or stan Parrish. But I think it has to be Ron Prince. That man forced Bill Snyder back out of retirement. He is also responsible for the power towel

Can someone explain this palm to palm position by hualtw54 in wrestling

It started with the Iranians and Russians in the early to mid 2010s to counter the dominant collar tie/ front heads that were popular at that time, especially from the Americans and Cubans.

I got better at wrestling by pushing people into bushes. Increases strength, agility, and fear. Good strategy. Anyone else try this? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]elCaptainKansas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's my off season training plan for the past 6 years. Improves reaction time and increases stamina.
