the top position is the easiest to learn if taught correctly turns and pin holds can be learned much quicker than techniques in any other position.


i was always taught to be tough and stingy from the top position. I know that i won matches from the top position even when i didn’t turn my opponents. I had competitors comment on the mental toll it took on them by being relentless from the top position.


i quickly learned that when coaching youth and high school wrestlers the top position can be a great neutralizer . Many of my wrestlers have been in tough matches and when they get in the top position they blow the match wide open and even pin tough opponents. If you have been coaching for any time i am sure you have seen the kid that can’t take anyone down, doesn’t look like much but will destroy your wrestler from the top position. I am not saying you should only focus on the top position, but if you combine solid top skills with in-your-face neutral and solid bottom wrestling you will have a tough wrestler.


wrestlers that learn, master and become relentless with, at least, 1-2 top series will experience much more success than those that don’t


wrestling for dan gable you learned how to win the close matches, wrestle to dominate and break your opponents. These things are very hard to do on a consistent basis without knowing how to grind, turn or pin your opponent from the top position. A very small percentage of wrestlers can wrestle that style without being effective on top and these wrestlers are extremely athletic. These athletes are few and far between and these athletes are also vulnerable to a lesser athlete that is tough in all positions.


i consider myself very lucky. My high school coach, dan mashek, and my college coach, dan gable, were both big believers in a punishing style from the top position and they were both very knowledgeable in the skills need to wrestle that style. I have noticed that many wrestlers are very close to being good wrestlers from the top position but they are just missing minor technical skills. Although techniques from the top position may be easier to learn, top wrestling is an art and most coaches and wrestlers are missing the finer points.


if you aren’t a dominant wrestler from the top position then i encourage you to purchase my ultimate turns and pins series. The turn series and drills that you will be exposed to will give you the road map to becoming the punishing wrestler i have described on this page. It will be up to you to master 1-2 of the series, force them on your opponents and develop the attitude needed. Top wrestling is easy to learn, but it is hard work to execute. Wrestlers need to embrace the challenge, because their is no better feeling than having a tough opponent meltdown under your relentless pressure.
