- Breakdowns, rides, and pins
- 200 takedowns featuring variations based on the opponent`s reaction

Summary: Timothy's second book
Comment: This was a gift, so I cannot review it, but I've had books from Amazon.com before and they were in good condition and were good to read, so I have no question this is too.

Summary: Best Wrestling Book today
Comment: I love this book so much, I encourage my entire team to purchase this book. I started to develop as a wrestler by looking in a book memorizing a few moves and then trying them in practice the following day during live wrestling. This book is fantastic. I use the moves when I wrestle live. I was a Connecticut large school state champion, and wrestled in the top 20 divison 1 and this book is extremley valuable. As of matter of fact there are so many moves you will find you will have to pick and choose the one's you like and work to master them before you move on. Also, the author's make no money as the money is donated for a great cause-Scott Babun/Westminster Christian Wrestling Coach, Miami, FL.

Summary: Great for Anyone Interested in Wrestling
Comment: I purchased this book in tandem with Greco-Roman Wrestling by William A. Martell, and I can't decide which I like better. They are both good.
Winning Wrestling Moves is well written, thorough, and easy to understand. As a mere spectator/admirer of the sport of wrestling, I am pleased with the photos and detail in this book, which help me to understand exactly what I am watching.
Though "Winning" is stressed in this book, the flavor/tone of the author's words also emphasize the love for the sport, competing against one's self to achieve success, and sportsmanship, which is admirable and impressive, since there must naturally be a winner and a loser - both of which are honorable. Also impressive is the fact that this book does not seem to be about shortcuts, just hard work and great technique.
This book has wonderful descriptions with good flow, and though it is technical, it was easy for a non-wrestler to understand. I recommend it for everyone interested in this great sport, not just athletes and coaches.

Summary: Excellent guide for all skill levels
Comment: As an old dog trying to learn new tricks - I didn't start wrestling until I was 30 - I found this book invaluable.
Most coaching books - especially wrestling ones - suffer from the problem of poor quality photography. But here the pics are well-chosen and clear and the text goes straight to the point. And the sheer comprehensiveness of it means you keep returing to it again and again.
