Okay. I'll elaborate a little more on today's wrestling:

His Division 2 matches weren't even close as he won them all by fall, one in 10 seconds. He just outpowered everyone and didn't really have to use much technique. He did start his very first match with a great snap down to score then just worked the kid from there.

Division 3 was a lot tougher. He was wrestling all the guys who moved up and smoked his ass all last year plus some of the older guys he's never seen (this is the first time he's ever wrestled up). That being said, he scored his share of points and held his own.

We've REALLY got to get our coach to move beyond the half nelson, though. That's our goto move to try to get a pin, and while it's a classic, it starts to get old by Division 3. Our club is finally big enough that we have advanced practices as well, so I'm hoping that we'll start working cradles, tilts, chicken wings, etc.. in advance practice. On top of that, our kids aren't working hand/arm control very much. You can see the kids who really know how to set up their pins and moves with 2on1s and such. Our kids don't really work on controlling the wrists/arms to set things up, and it will be hard to really move beyond halfs into cradles until they learn the strategy of arm control.
