Reddit reviews LEGAL PAIN starring Wade Schalles

I wrestled heavyweight in PA (district 4) back when it was unlimited. I was 5'11" and weighed 178 pounds as a sophomore, our 167 and 185 guys were state qualifiers, and we didn't have a heavyweight.... I was undefeated 10 - 0 until I had my knee destroyed when a sloppy heavyweight lost his balance and fell into my leg. But anyway.

Even for really big strong guys taking shots and getting under big guys is very tiring. I used almost exclusively 2 on 1 ( Russian tie) with liberal use of my head and forehead, and lots of shoulder torquing. I had multiple takedowns in each of my matches and I was never taken down. Being so light I had trouble keeping the big guys down.

Most guys have never really dealt with someone who know how to really use a 2 on 1, or even a guy who alway knows how to get into a 2 on 1 on either side. Learn everything you can about the 2 on 1 and practice for on your feet wrestling.

Coming up from bottom is more about attitude than technique. Stand up and do it with attitude.

I always used the spiral ride, I was a student of Shorty Hitchcock, and Wade Schalles, look for Wade's videos on youtube, also try to get his DVD's "Legal pain"

I tell my son to wrestling like a wild man, wrestle like your life depends on it. Image that you've just been take prisoner and they have you wrestling for your life, if you win the match you live and if you lose you'll be shot when you step off the mat. If you can't tell yourself honestly that you wouldn't wrestle any differently than if your life depended on it then you really aren't wrestling.
