A lot of what you don't see in wrestling is what goes on to make it all work smoothly during the season. This year has been very challenging for youth sports, with postponement of start dates, to a pause in the season, to the uncertainty of what practices to tournaments will even look like. Still with all of this, the backbone of the organization has not stalled in planning, organizing, and coming up with solutions to all of our changing circumstances.
Our special team of coaches, and parents never cease to amaze me with how great they are and how committed they are to this sport that we all love. We still may not know just how much of a season we will have, or if there will be any tournaments (duals or individuals) available in Minnesota, this group has tried to make sure that all of our wrestlers (and even athletes from other clubs) have avenues to stay connected with the team. From the birth of this website, to the clubs Facebook page, daily virtual challenges, the updates on the Heja app, the phone calls and communications with schools and government officials, the financial planning, the school district personnel and administration, and even to a group who made special holiday gifts for everyone, these people have put in time each and every day for the Cyclone Wrestling club. Thank you to all of those people who work so hard to keep the club moving forward.

It can be done 2 ways- either like the video (down is up and up and down) or “sally up” means sit up “sally down” lay down and “rest”. Which one can you do? https://youtu.be/CwgcXC-28EU TECHNIQUE TUESDAY 12/15
worth 3 back points Wrestling Basics with Jordan Burroughs https://youtu.be/j_BkUZ3wOQA 10 solo takedown drills https://youtu.be/Yg3Ji0dIWgQ If you don’t have a partner (or a grappling dummy), make one of your own with household items. The idea of this dummy is not that you are matching weight, but that you are creating a form that mimics a human body to practice moves on the ground.

worth 2 takedown points The video today has some added equipment. If you don’t have weights and bands at home- no problem. Use cans of food or anything that’s 1-3 pounds and easily held in the hands (nothing too big), use a jump rope or even a belt to simulate the motion of the band exercises. And you can do all of these exercises with no equipment at all. https://youtu.be/YCsAO5u7m_A FLEXIBLE FRIDAY 12/11
