Great video. I’ve always taught my students one simple rule. “If you can’t shoot it, don’t do it.” Minimize the opportunities for your opponent to make your stuff look bad, especially on the independents where you may not be sure just how well trained your opponent may be. I also agree strongly with avoiding moves with similar setups. I started finishing with a piledriver, so I changed my powerbomb into a Blue Thunder Driver to avoid confusion. Nobody wants to see Steve Austin snapmare someone when he could have just as easily hit the stunner right there.
I've been working out and always had a passion for the business, and your video was recommended to me from TH-cam, really was inspiring and very realistic, thank you mate!
Not to worry about your height. 5’7” is pretty normal nowadays. I’m a legit 5’11” and have always thought I was too small, so I was surprised to find myself somewhere around the 3rd tallest of the CWC’s 32. Wrestlers tend inflate their numbers. Not as much as they used to, but still, you’d be surprised.
I’m 197 pounds, a wrestler in training but usually at my weight people are high flyers. High flying isn’t my style. I want to be a technical wrestler. Nothing but holds and submissions
@@Jaytheramper_ A flip is a fundamental skill that you'll need to learn and become comfortable with to be able to take moves from others, but there's no need to work within a style that you don't enjoy or feel is a strength.
Bro, I feel this in my soul. I walked in at like 140. People instantly see high flyer. I found out real fast that I'm less Rey Mysterio and more Spike Dudley. 😂😂😂 You just have to find your place and what works best for you. I'd say study Dean Malenko. Good luck.
Sound advice here for anyone getting into the business, although i feel bad writing that these tips should be obvious just too many people overlook keeping simple as they want to go all out do everything in an attempt at being an indie darling.
I already compiled a list based on your advice long before I watched this video. I've classify moves by complexity for a setup, speed in which it can be executed, where its inflicting damage, whether it could knock someone out, strength required for it. To me your moves need to tell the right story about you. I'm slender but don't want to do high flying. Leaning towards Submission/Strong style. Looking to perform impact moves that don't require too much strength to setup submissions. Would you recommend any wrestlers with that style to study?
I wouldn’t worry about any of that until your training has at least progressed to being confident with the fundamentals. It’s good to have an idea of how the psychology works, but essentially everything you think you know about Pro Wrestling is likely to change once you start learning it.

@Damian Slater your videos are super interesting man! I decided to start having wrestling lessons by an informal association …it’s a new kind of sport for me. I was suggested to buy compression briefs to put under my swimming speedos and also some wristbands. I only played rugby before…is wrestling a too much demanding sport for me? Is it so dangerous? Thanks bro! 👊
None. That’s too young to be training in my opinion. Training in Freestyle Wrestling, Judo or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu however, is a much better idea until old enough.

What is your advice for a person who is 5"7' that wants to be a wrestler
Not to worry about your height. 5’7” is pretty normal nowadays. I’m a legit 5’11” and have always thought I was too small, so I was surprised to find myself somewhere around the 3rd tallest of the CWC’s 32.

@@damianslater thanks
I want to learn all my moves and what is wrong with suppizing the adeance with my new talent a little
I’m 197 pounds, a wrestler in training but usually at my weight people are high flyers. High flying isn’t my style. I want to be a technical wrestler. Nothing but holds and submissions

Yeah like my trainer has been trying for me to flip and it just does not feel natural me

Do your own style brother, if you try a style you aren’t comfortable with it’ll show in your matches

Incredibly dangerous which is why it’s imperative to train at a reputable school.
@@damianslater Thank you man for the advice
I'm 6ft 235lbs. What moves would work for me?
What moves would be suitable for a 5,10 14 year old?
None. That’s too young to be training in my opinion. Training in Freestyle Wrestling, Judo or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu however, is a much better idea until old enough.
Ok I'll probably be 6,2 by then or 6 ft 😄 but thanks for the tip
