Ahwatukee Wrestling CLUB

7X

Congrats on a solid win, not nearly as close as the score would indicate. I guess they wanted you to give up a 4 at the end to avoid that caution and 1. Strange call but way to keep your composure and lock up the #1 ranking!

Great day to 🤼‍♀️

122 lbs Quarterfinal - Everest Leydecker, Arizona vs Audrey Rogotzke, Minnesota

Most wrestling you watch on Flo is full of random background noise, whistles, yelling, etc. When you actually get Flo commentary, you know things are getting serious. Everest Leydecker on to the semi's in Fargo! https://www.flowrestling.org/events/7417656-2022-usmcusaw-junior-and-16u-national-championships/videos?playing=7907279&limit=60

Great morning of wrestling at ALA Gilbert. I'll take 2 hours of scraps over 18 minutes of wrestling spread out over 10 hours sitting on the bleachers any day!

Short break to celebrate independence, now we're back at it!

Some kids follow instructions and don't climb in the bear pit. Other kids end up ruining their favorite jeans. 🐻

Trick em into liking the sport early. Then when they're old enough to realize how tough it is, they're already hooked and they can't back out!

The tradition continues! If you're looking for a quality Father's Day film, you can't go wrong with Over the Top

Building off of yesterday's leg block to beat the arm from the GOAT John Smith, last weekend Zahid Valencia used that same concept from a grounded front head lock against Mark Hall. The key elements, getting the thigh behind the arm, and rotating the hips as close to 180 degrees as possible. Although Zahid scored with this, props to Mark Hall for defending it successfully several times on Sunday.

Thank you .rud.43 for coming in and helping get the DV girls ready for Fargo and our incoming freshmen ready for highschool.

When you're too hardcore for everyone else, you create Cone Zone, so everyone else knows to steer clear of the smoke!

Great start to our Wednesday night High School Sessions last night with Coach Josh! See you all tonight for regular club practice 5:45.

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

We'll be taking a page out of John Smith's book tonight at 7pm. For a sneak peak, check out 3:03 into this match with Stepan Sarkissian. John goes chest wrap to a leg block go behind. If you watched world team trials this weekend, you saw Zahid Valencia hit this several times in his best of three finals.

Great to have Coach Tanner back! I have a feeling he's better at this than he is at telling kids to jog faster around the track.

Parents, there are multiple middle school "State" tournaments. The first one coming up January 15th is the one where any kid can enter regardless of their team affiliation. For kids in Kyrene, you can NOT enter as a representative of your school and you can NOT wear your school singlet. You CAN however, enter as a representative of a club or just "unattached". This tournament is at Perry High School. I'll post the link to the trackwrestling.com page for more information. I'd love to see all of our AWC middle schooler's jump in on this one and make a strong showing. https://www.trackwrestling.com/opentournaments/MainFrame.jsp?newSession=false&TIM=1641272140829&pageName=ViewerInformation.jsp%3FTIM%3D1641272141592%26twSessionId%3Dzgwadxorgv&twSessionId=zgwadxorgv
