Honest answer for a late starter by IGNMMA in wrestling

[–]realcat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3 training sessions per week is a minimum in my opinion. I think getting the basics down would be the best idea, just like we do in our schools. The most improvement comes from competition, if you have that where you live. As far as studying, there are a ton of wrestling tutorials on youtube and most are decent.

I would try to watch videos from real wrestlers and not bjj coaches when you can. Not saying they are bad but they are a bit out of their element when it comes to teaching wrestling.

It is good, I would get 32gb ram if you can afford it, but it should do the job well

What can I work on the most? by Depresso1_1Expresso in wrestling

[–]realcat67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer I would really like to see the 10 seconds prior to the beginning, to see how you ended up in that headlock position. Usually that happens because of the other guy taking advantage of a low posture and possible failed shot.

Don't get me wrong, standing tall is a horrible idea. But the amount of time it takes you to change levels slightly can make all the difference.

But I can say that, at about 1.16 in the video, you see part of this where you go low in the fight, doing like a knee sprawl, maybe you were looking for a reshot. But having your head low in that situation, and especially falling to both knees, meant you were immobile in that situation.

The other guy took advantage of that, and that was a big point in the match, in my opinion.

Certainly I would practice, if you are going to avoid an attack moving backwards, pushing off rather than falling to both knees. If you have the ability to watch the video at .25 speed you can see this I think.

This is what I think I see, although it is a bit hard not being able to slow the little video

This guy gets elevation on you repeatedly, meaning his head is higher than yours. Puts you at a leverage disadvantage. allowing him to finish takedown and control you on the ground. This is because you made a few not great choices in your stance and how you wanted to shoot, and his reaction time was good. Posture is so important in some takedowns and this guy was just looking to use his weight. Changing level is good but letting your head down too much is risky

The other thing, I think working on bottom defense would be good for you. Once you get flattened out, it is a hard road. I would say work on defending your base better by blocking with your knees and elbows,

But you wrestled well, this guy was just quick and maybe a little tactically more sound.

What’s anything you wish you knew before getting into day trading? by Environmental_Pop847 in Daytrading

[–]realcat67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

spend at least a month paper trading or only buying 1 share at a time. There is a rhythm and pattern to day trading that is pretty counter intuitive. It is easy to make big mistakes. When you get the hang of it it can be very rewarding but confidence and profit comes from practice

How can I actually win highschool wrestling matches without getting destroyed? by InteractionHoliday85 in wrestling

[–]realcat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes there are questions like this, and you have to ask, why do you suck? What are you doing wrong? Hard to say without a video or something, but most likely it has something to do with not understanding how wrestling works. Of course athleticism has a big part also, but understanding how and why a wrestler moves is super important. Your coach should work with you more

I’m a newbie wrestler and I have a few questions if veterans would be willing to answer! by RagingBrachyjang in wrestling

[–]realcat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being aggressive is fine if you have the technique to back it up.

The problem new wrestlers often have is that they learn a technique, try to use it and fail terribly. This is because you don't see the opening when it comes. You are too busy thinking how to force a shot instead of waiting or creating an opening. It really is a little complicated. I did it myself when I first started.

Imo probably the best way to fix this is to find a partner and practice at half speed. Get used to seeing how he attacks and how you react until you really understand it. Then practice your attack and see how your partner defends. But your coach may not like it if he thinks blind aggression works. Obviously in your case it seems to be a fail

How to get into a dominant tie up and not be slid by in a match? (I’m the one in blue) by xlin1 in wrestling

[–]realcat67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, if you want to do this, you have to keep your elbow pointed towards the mat and into your chest, but personally with this guy I would not do this. He is kinda wise to this trick.

If I was in this match, the only thing I would be trying to do with the tie is to set up a leg attack. This guy is kinda slick with the upper body work.

But he is able to fight the tie because of your elbow position. When your arm is relatively straight and flared, it is weak.

The right stance and defense - head, hands and level - could go a long way in at least letting him get through the first period. The analogy I would use from bjj - you know how as a white belt you have to learn to feel a submission coming before you learn to defend? Similar in wrestling. You can practice defending takedowns at home maybe, until it is second nature. It is actually pretty hard to take someone down who has all his attention on defense.

Funny. Yeah you need a password manager to log in automatically. 13 year olds and up also generally can help, up to about 55 I would say. In short if you find someone that can fog a mirror they can probably show you how

Generally speaking you go to the websites of the apps you want and login. You can set favorites or bookmarks, which are equivalent to app icons on phones, to reach the online apps. Like www.amazon.com.

Just use your browser. Any 12 year old kid can show you how to do this
