Wrestling For Dummies

We gave Wrestling for Dummies to my mother-in-law for a gift. We paired it with a wrestling grandma mug. She loved it! She opened Wrestling for Dummies right away and started reading about the rules of wrestling. Highly recommend for new fans of the sport!

Great book! Got it for my 10 year old who started wrestling this year. It has definitely helped along with the hands on practice of course. He is able to apply what he has read in practice and in the tournaments.

Perfect book for any new parent to wrestling

Just bought bc I know someone who is on a high school team and wanted to know more about it

Only got it cause its by a ufc fighter. Nice to get to see his fighting roots

Awesome! Definitely learned a lot of the basics from this book

My 9 yo grandson loved this book to give him more insight into the sport that he loves but is just a beginner in.

I'm the mom of a wrestler, so I was thrilled to see this book. TONS of info from A to Z about wrestling. I found the chapters on scoring and what happens during a wrestling match to be very interesting, but the chapters on moves, exercises, etc., were of less interest to me. If you're a new wrestler, this will be perfect for you. But if you just want an overview of the sport, just read a couple of the chapters and skip the rest.

Great book with good techniques but be warned this is really aimed at the US market in that a fair portion of the book covers rules & regulation for US collegiate wrestling along with advice for the parents of kids entering in to the sport of wrestling. None the less, it is still worth having as basic foundation reference material. To be honest I have quite a few wrestling books and I've yet to see one that is really really good. The one that I think should be used as a 'model' would be Randy Coutures Wrestling for Fighting (Victory Belt publishing) although that is more Greco Roman than freestyle so doesn't feature any floor reversals, sit out's, granby rolls and so on.Maybe Henry could release an intermediate to advanced book showing more techniques etc?

Everything you need to know about the foundations of wrestling. Rules, gear, diet, preparatory training everything. If you want to start wrestling and deed awritten reference: this is woth considering. if you are generally interested in MA and you anrt a source on wrestling, the this is your book. When I say thorough to the point of boring which is a good thing, then i mean that the author is that acurate.
