Practice Cancelled!

Due to the prediction of a great deal of snow... Practice has been cancelled for today! Lift 'em if ya' got 'em. Or run, shovel snow, or watch and practice wrestling moves from youtube, flowwrestling, kolat or other such sites. This link has some good ones from the Granby School of Wrestling if you scroll down the page to the listed links:

Dine Out Night at PJ Whelihan's!

Don't forget on December 8th, the Seneca Wrestling Parents Association is having a fund raiser "Dine Out Night" at PJ Welihan's in Medford Lakes. It won't cost extra to dine there between 5 - 8 pm but 10% of your bill will be donated to the wrestling association. You must submit your bill with a flyer from the association.

Come dine with other wrestling fans! The flyers can be obtained from Coach Bauer or the President of the association, Kim Devaney. Her email address is

Kim Deveney:       krd1325@comcast.net

and she will probably bring extra flyers to PJ Welihan's.

Parents Meeting Tonight!

Seneca Wrestling's first parent meeting is tonight at 6:30 pm in room C106 (lecture hall). Our wrestler's have been already working hard and are looking forward to the first tournament at Princeton High School on December 18th. Hopefully, it won't be snowed out like last year. Let's look forward to a good season and support our wrestlers any way we can.

Summer Wrestling Camp & Duals

Seneca attended North Carolina State University's Wrestling Camp. The experience included a lot of fun, hard work, and success (and only one broken ankle). Below is a picture from camp.

The Competitive Edge Summer Duals at Holy Cross are now almost half way over and our wrestlers are doing well and getting a good deal of experience in spite of the heat.

Russian Tie to Fireman's/Jap Whizzer

---

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

---

Another great single leg counter!

Single Leg to Hip Toss

---

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

Whizzer step over from Kolat

---

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

Judo Throws for Upper Weights

---

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

---

Introducing the funk... Try this at practice.

Another slick whizzer counter.

---

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...

---

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

The Varsity match will be at home vs Pennsville. Arrival time for the Varsity team is between 7:45 and 8:00 AM. The match will start at 10:00AM. The JV team will be on the road to Burlington City. Arrival time for the JV team is between 7:00 and 7:15 AM for the bus ride. Good luck to both Seneca teams!

Granby Highlights Video

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!
