This is a review a wrestling instruction DVD titled “Becoming a Champion Scrambling: Scoring from a Bad Position DVD”.

Most of the time when a wrestler tries to score a take down, it doesn’t go perfectly. A lot of times a wrestler will end up in a bad position. I have watched this DVD a couple of times and I’m really impressed with this wrestling video. John Smith is the coach of Oklahoma State University and is arguably one the best wrestlers the United States have ever produced.

One of the things that John talks about is that we don’t want to purposely get in to a bad position, but goes on to say that just because a wrestler gets in a bad spot doesn’t mean he can’t score. This video will show you things about scoring from a scrambling position that you never thought of. I definitely think it will teach you how to become a better wrestler.

DVD Overview

I would say that their is not a ton of information on this video, but the information is worth its weight in gold. One of the things that I like about John Smith is that he is a true teacher of wrestling and takes the time to go into great detail on every move he is showing.

This is a great wrestling instructional video for coaches as well as the serious wrestler who want to improve his technique from his feet.

My Opinion on this DVD

I have to say I really like this wrestling DVD. John is a very detailed teacher. I like the way that he isn’t trying to cram too much information into this DVD. A wrestler gets into a bad spot so often and I think it is an area that is overlooked. I would recommend buying this dvd for your collection.
