Terry Brands was often one of the sparkplugs that started the Hawkeyes off at every meet. His "in-your-face" style of wrestling resulted in 48 career falls - sixth best in the Hawkeye's storied history. Now you can learn some of the secrets of his favorite pinning move - the bar arm series. Terry examines the bar arm series from the beginning, taking you through a number of options with the spiral breakdown that will put your wrestler in good position to work for the fall. From there he offers a number of tilts and turns off the bar arm using a chicken wing, half nelson, and using the legs. Brands clearly explains each move, going through it from different angles to ensure you see the entire move done properly. An excellent tape that will give your wrestler an opportunity to score bonus team points each time he steps on the mat!

Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion Tom Brands takes the basic Cross Wrist Breakdown, one of his favorite moves, and turns it into a devastating pinning hold for your wrestlers to use. Coach Brands begins by showing the proper way to run the cross wrist breakdown how to get into the proper pinning position. Once the opponent is broken down, Brands demonstrates a number of tilts and turns to use depending on the reaction of the opponent. A heavy emphasis is placed on the Turk, hitting the move with both the arms and the legs. Brands closes by showing how to hit the Turk from the standing position off a double leg or high crotch takedown.
