BlakHaus Wrestling System: Phase 1 Practice Book The BlakHaus Wrestling System is built for wrestlers and coaches who want more than just a long list of moves—it’s a complete developmental system designed to create confident, adaptable, and dominant athletes on the mat. System Objective: Phase 1 of the BlakHaus Wrestling System establishes the foundation for long-term wrestling success. Through a structured approach built around superior position, relentless pressure, and a focus on scoring, wrestlers learn to control the center of the mat, develop a dangerous short offense, and execute high-percentage attacks that build confidence early and scale into advanced chain wrestling. System Philosophy: At BlakHaus Wrestling, we believe: Position comes first. Master core positions before chasing variety. - Pressure creates opportunity. Heavy hands, short offense, and top pressure wear opponents down and open scoring. - Points win matches. The system is designed around match-winning skills that translate from high school to college competition. Unlike systems that overload wrestlers with endless techniques, this practice book delivers a clear, progressive plan—one that builds instinctive mechanics, situational awareness, and wrestling IQ. Key Features of Phase 1: 50 Complete Practices built on a proven progression—half focused on skill acquisition, half on live application and competitive readiness. - Athletic Development: Integrated warm-ups and movement drills designed to enhance agility, balance, and coordination. - Core Concepts Introduced Early: Angles, staying in the pocket, pressure, misdirection, and chain wrestling. - High-Percentage Attacks: Outside step ducks and leg attacks provide early offensive success and confidence. - Progressive Layering: Each practice builds logically from controlled drilling to situational sparring and targeted live wrestling. - Competition-Ready Training: Shifts mid-phase toward strategy and postseason preparation. - Long-Term Athlete Development: Prepares wrestlers not just for short-term success, but for a seamless transition to higher levels of wrestling. - Includes : 50 detailed practices (warm-ups, precision drills, technique, clinics, sparring & situations, live wrestling, conditioning, and recovery), note sections, and practice outlines for your own development.
