Seneca Wrestling Community Service Project!

2012-01-18T23:47:00.000-05:00

With the help of Ginny Simpkins, the Seneca Wrestling program has been participating in a community service project this winter. We have been collecting winter coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and hoodies for people in need. Through a local church, we got in contact with "The Christian Caring Center" in Pemberton, NJ. This organization provides necessities for people in need in our area. On Monday, January 16th, we made our first delivery of about 100 articles of winter clothing to the center. It was a huge success! We will be making another delivery sometime in February, so we are still collecting winter hats, gloves, scarves, hoodies, and coats! Below are some pictures from Monday...

Russian Tie to Fireman's/Jap Whizzer

2010-01-13T11:06:00.004-05:00

This move is a combination of a fireman's carry and the jap whizzer (seio-nage, or japanese arm throw) with a russian tie set up. It's a good suprise move, especially if you've been using the russian tie to set up other takedowns first.

Inside Head Single Leg Counter

2010-01-11T10:31:00.001-05:00

Another great single leg counter!

Single Leg to Hip Toss

2010-01-09T22:47:00.003-05:00

This hip toss from a countered single leg is a great move to keep in a wrestler's arsenal.

Whizzer step over from Kolat

2010-01-09T22:24:00.002-05:00

Another match saving, crowd pleasing move. Only in practice until you get it!

Judo Throws for Upper Weights

2010-01-09T14:55:00.003-05:00

This basic judo throw can be applicable in wrestling, and very effective for upper weight classes. The wrestling headlock takedown is closely related to this hip toss. Of course there is no Gi in wrestling, but the principles and body positioning are similar. Take note of the foot sweep to set up this move. Another great desperation match winner.

An Introduction to Funk Wrestling

2010-01-09T14:50:00.003-05:00

Introducing the funk... Try this at practice.

Another slick whizzer counter.

2010-01-09T13:51:00.003-05:00

This video teaches a really nice counter to a low single leg attack. Make sure you try any new moves you learn in practice BEFORE you try them in a match. Pulling a slick move like this out of your hat in a match can be a crowd pleaser, but should normally be used only in desperation.

Whizzer to a 5 point throw...

2010-01-09T13:26:00.005-05:00

This is a basic whizzer into a pin countering a single leg attack. As you will note, this is taught at an MMA school which shows how valid wrestling is as the original martial art.

Varsity & JV Details for Saturday 01/09/2010

2010-01-08T20:01:00.002-05:00

Granby Highlights Video

2010-01-01T12:15:00.008-05:00

Take a peek at this video on how effective the Granby roll can be. It is similar to the Sit-Out/Turn-In/Peterson yet more difficult to stop for a match changing 5 points and maybe a pin! Any Seneca wrestlers who are interested, email the webmaster for the instructional links & camp info...

Happy New Year!
