Rasha said:From my days in Greco-Roman I can tell you we did series of 10 throws performed very quickly. On the other hand the bad thing was that those were shoulder throws 90% of the time.
rory_44 said:we do 20-30 mins of technique at the start of practice. If we're working on a specific throw we'll do it over and over. I remember my coach having me do over 100 over under throws in a row.
Other typical drills that we'll do are Olympic lifts (Karelins famous throw) up and over the shoulder, and then put the guy back on all fours. And pummeling drills. We pummle for position with no throws for 6 minutes (the length of a match) 3-4 times.
we'll also scrimage situations. and this matches. hope this helps, any more specific questions?
rory_44 said:yeah, it sucked. Over unders aren't high amplitude throws, and they're pretty easy on the victim, so it was hard but not dangerous. also they're harder if you don't complete them. arms spins are the same idea. head and arm throws we don't go all the way through.
do you mind me asking why you're asking about the Greco?
killer_kicks88 said:can someone explain an over under throw? pics maybe?
rory_44 said:sorry, you'll have to explain what you mean by in and outs. and in terms of resistance, do you mean weight training? or intensity of your training partner resisting what you're doing?
rory_44 said:we call them speed drills, and we use them as an exhaustion drill at the end of practice. We'll do six minutes of high speed no resistance throws, back and forth with a partner. Then immediately do 6 sets of 10 speed drills (one partner doing 10 at a time), a different throw or takedown for each set.
We don't really do anything in terms of resistive technique. We have technique, and scrimmage and weights. The closest thing would probably be medicine ball throws. We practice back arching throws by tossing a medicine ball back over our shoulder as we arch back into a bridge.
as for the tourney, I'm going to go no-gi intermediate. Its my first tourney ever, so I want to make sure that its at least a learning experience. If I do well, then next time I'll bump up to advanced.
