 I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna start with, I'm just gonna try to move fast, but I'm gonna start with kind of closing the gap on the guy. Uh, how I do it, as compared to like the Coleman Scott, you know, guys like that, and you're all gonna have different styles. This is me, this is what I teach, I like getting my hands on a guy. When I jab fake, you guys know the jab fakers or body faker, whatever, I'm gonna do mine from the top. I can do it a year, I'm gonna be pushing into a guy, hanging from a close distance, getting a reaction in there, so I can pull the guy underneath me, so I can get him coming up with fire shots off. Whereas Coleman Scott, someone like that, I'm using it for an example, you can see that in the coach's right here. He's getting jab outside, get his hands on the open, and start pulling. So he's getting jab, get a reaction, does that make sense to everybody? There's a big difference, and guys of your age gotta figure out what works for you. I've always been a grinder, so I try to get my hands on a big strong wrestler, I always have been, so I try to get my hands on a guy as fast as possible. Now, teaching young kids to close the gap, I'm always gonna teach it the same way. I'm gonna say, go to him with your forehead, always your back, so on the right leg lead, my left hand is always gonna reach first. Now, when you get to the higher level, and you have a lot of faith in your defense in the world class, I don't care what hand. And even at the collegiate level, I don't care what hand you reach with, because you know you have faith in your defense, you know what you're doing. But for high school kids, young kids, middle school kids, elementary, it's always gonna put you back, touch the guy with your back, so my left foot's back, it's gonna be on back, go to the people head first, club it, and then work it in your thighs. Very, very systematic. I literally, every single match I've ever wrested in that has never changed. Walk through the guy reaching with your hands up and your fire shots off. So, I rely on my defense, first and foremost, before you get out. So my hands are down, my legs, you guys see my stance? Everything with your stance has got to be flexed too much, like Devon Kagan, who knows Devon Kagan. From this area, we're just talking about him, he's a flex ball. So, always about three and a half minutes into a match, he's an inhaler, and I'm always getting all pissed off at him. But, he gets himself so tired, he's flexed, he's kind of jacked, he knows jacked to speed, but he's jacked. You know, real strong, everything he does, he grabs the guy and just tries to lift it, just wasting too much energy. Relax his hands, go tune with your forehead, always using your hands. Now, when it's down, this guy's moving around on you, just stay relaxed, hands down. I like to grab on to this, make sure the guy can't shoot on me, and then climb up his body like a road. He'll still push you forward. Now, get into that, as far as pushing forward and stuff like that, everybody's going to have a different feel. Well, let's start here with your partner. I just want you to get out, the biggest thing for me, defensively and in a stance. You've got to stay patient. It's about staying patient, have faith in moving your feet and your deepness and stuff like that. Stay patient, don't seem to support that. Once you get close, when you're close to gap, your hands have got to be hard. You're going to touch this guy. Pop him, you're pulling, stay ahead of him. I'm not flexing, but I'm bringing my elbows to my hips. I'm always starting with the backhand club. My elbows are moving to my hips. As I'm moving forward, my hands stay heavy. You can start moving and stuff. So that wasn't a lot of technique I threw at you. I just wanted you to work on that, focus on that while you're in your stance. Stay nice and relaxed. Go to the guy. If this guy ever starts moving, if he ever starts moving and faking on me, your reaction always has to be this. So nice and relaxed, your knees always drop. Walking forward, your hands drop. Moving to the guy with your forehead. Does that make sense? Alright, just work on getting your hands on your opponent right now. On three, one, two, three.
