Hey Craig, do you think the caucus area in Europe, is the most dominant in the world in wrestling? Because to me it seems thata ll the best wrestlers come from there

Any more info on Ascend Wrestling Club and which school in Merrick it will be held because I'm from Calhoun which is right there.

Hi Sam -

Send me a PM with your email and I'll contact you with more details.

This is great. I really like the breakdown. It makes me realize how strategic top level wrestling really is. Hey Craig, how did you get all of this footage? How long have you followed international wrestling?

I've been trading with a few people for the last 5 or 6 years. I've been following International since ~1986, but I have films going back to the 60s.

Satiev probably looks smaller because Leipold was busted for steroids a year later and probably just masked it better this time around

Schultz.....Fadzaev? There are plenty of these guys matches on youtube. More Elbrus Tedeev please!!! Tedeev has the greatest ankle pick in wrestling history (reference his 2002 World Final vs. Ali Reza Dabir) And there are only about 5 of hbis matches availiable (Wada,Kolat,Murtazaliev,1 or 2 more)

I second that, Tedeev's ankle pick was just ridiculous. Maybe Tedeev's '04 finals match against Kelly would be a possibility? Either way, this is a wonderful new feature and excellent learning tool. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

This is why Flo is the best! Great high school, college, and international wrestling. This was awesome.

"Saitiev moved up to 85 kg the next year to win the Olympic Gold. I don't know how he was able to do that seeing that he looks small compared to Leipold here at 76 kg. "

its because he and b. saitiev said they were not going to compete against each other and b. saitiev is older so adam respected him and moved up a weight. pretty impressive especially with a pin against the cuban(for the gold in 2000). even though he was smaller!

Cool. Sounds like a really good addition. Love to learn more about international wrestling. Scoring starts at the 8.40 mark.

Sam Gorinsky 4 years ago

I appreciate international matches especially ones with Russia because their style is so contemplative and methodical. They are incredible to watch especially the Saitievs.

This is going to be great guys. Craig is the man. When I got back from Russia last summer he named all of the matches for us. Then he showed me his collection of international wrestling footage. It is the largest collection I have ever seen and he has some very rare, hard to find matches. He is also very educated in the international scene. Thursdays are going to be awesome.

He's just daring you to go for his leg when he sticks it out like that.

Martin...

Do you have any Fadzaev matches??? Better yet, any Sergei Belaglazov (sp?)? These two guys were my all time favorites.

Mevans 4 years ago

This is fantastic. I love the match, and love the analysis even more. Martin--do more of this! It goes hand in hand with technique tuesday--watching and reading about how moves actually pan out in matches and what setups worked is invaluable for my young wrestlers' learning.
