Once you learn the basic rules of school-style wrestling, and the strategies for winning matches, you're on your way to being a champion. Find out the right equipment to buy, especially shoes and headgear. Then practice starting positions, following the instructions and photographs of each stance. Add the essential attacking and defensive strategies, including inside step series, level changes, takedowns, and common countermoves. Learn to move and feint to create proper angles of attack, and control your opponent at will. A master plan shows how to set and reach weekly, monthly, and season-long goals. Sidebars feature famous people who got their start in wrestling.
