Dean Heil Fake Shot Snap-Down Go-Behind | JROB Technique Sessions

If you saw the Gable Steveson finals against Geno, you saw him fake/snap/go behind twice in 13 seconds to score 4 points for the come behind victory. You also heard commentator and wrestling legend John Smith on the mic saying, "fake, snap, fake, snap, fake, snap, go get it, go get it." John Smith is a technical wizard, yet in the biggest match of Steveson's life, in the clutch, John knows its fundamentals that get it done. Here is Smith's former wrestler Dean Heil giving great instruction on fake to a snap to a go behind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWQu040Dn70

Wrestling is growing in Ahwatukee and our Tuesday evenings are getting packed!!! So we are happy to begin two new time slots, Tuesdays and Thursdays after school from 4-5:30pm. All ages welcome, but Altadena kids, we're starting these practices with you in mind. I know its tough to make the Monday and Wednesday 3:30-5pm, so Tuesday and Thursdays are moved back a half hour just for you. If the 5:45-7pm is best, we are keeping those as well, Mondays through Thursdays. All ages welcome at all practices. Questions, call or text us at 520-233-4430.

JV Gold: Episode 5 ft. Roman Bravo Young (AND MORE!)

The level of "play wrestling" or "sparring" as some might call it in this room is phenomenal. There is an Iowa style to wrestling that is pretty straight forward, bully the other guy more than he can bully you, but there is an entirely different style that RBY and Jesse Vasquez practice that is like watching the coolest hip hop dance you've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUw4q5SWTGA

JV Gold: Episode 5 ft. Roman Bravo Young (AND MORE!) JV VLOGZ Presents episode V of JV vlogs featuring NCAA CHAMP ROMAN BRAVO YOUNG. It was an honor to be welcomed to train with RBY! Thank you Jett Sports Train...

[07/31/21]   UPDATE: Most of our kids who want to wrestle tomorrow are going to the ALA live wrestling in Gilbert again, therefor we will not be having our regular Saturday Morning Live. You are all certainly welcome to meet us at ALA.

John Smith (USA) vs Stepan Sarkisyan (URS) - 1989 World Championships

[07/27/21]   Parents,
Summer is almost over and we will begin our Fall schedule Monday, August 2nd. We are excited to be offering an "afterschool" option Monday and Wednesday from 3:30-5pm. This will be perfect for Akimel kids who can walk over right after school or elementary kids who can make it by that time. We will still be offering our regular Monday through Thursday evening practices from 5:45-7pm.
If your child goes to Altadena (or elsewhere) and can't make it by 3:30, we are looking into a Tuesday and Thursday 4-5:30pm slot. As soon as we know we have enough interest for that time slot, we'll make it happen.
On that note, if there are any other days or times which would be more convenient for you and a few other families, let us know. We can always build a new practice time around your schedule. We just need enough kids to make it a fun and energetic practice. We had a Friday evening practice last year that was popular for a while. We can certainly get that back up and running, or do a Friday right after school option (or early release).
If you're ready to get back into the swing of things, just text or email us with the days you are wanting to attend and then sign up for your membership on our website under the membership tab at tukeewc.com
Our memberships still work like they always have:
Bronze-1 day per week $70/month
Silver- 2 days per week $100/month
Gold- 3 days per week $130/month
Olympic- Unlimited $160/month
If you have any questions, give us a call or text, 520-233-4430.

Great morning of wrestling l!

[04/03/21]   If you've been to more than one of our practices, Don has probably introduced you to Kolat.com videos by now. I especially like this one, not because this specific position, but because the underlying philosophy. Sometimes times when you are in an inferior position, creating a flurry or a short burst of chaos is your best chance to escape danger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0yfj60K02s
