The simple answer to why Henry Cejudo is amazing is his motion, level change and penetration, is beyond world class and also the basic ancient philosophy needed for all wrestlers to succeed. He might be the best ever at those three bedrock principles. Each is a prerequisite of each other. Also what the best in the world drills before each match. The moves and holds are all a result of those techniques.
Riding time should be eliminated but you should be able to ride someone for 30 seconds straight and then it removes the ability to get a 1 point escape you can now cut him for free
We need more *active* mat wrestling. Riding is stalling. It just is. If the top man isn't actively working to turn it should be immediate (no warning) stall/1 pt bottom man /neutral re-start.
Dan Gable said Chris Campbell was the best wrestler he ever coached. I was with Campbell at Cornell 2 weeks before he went to the Olympics. He had an intensive wrestling camp. Mark Kerr was Campbells wrestling partner!!!! I saw them training from the practice room myself. I was the little fat kid in the corner from PA that spent $900 to be at the camp.
I believe the answer is simply to have referees call stalling aggressively in order to FORCE the action. First stall, 2 points. Second stall, 4 points. 3rd stall, DQ. This aggressive approach forcing athletes to wrestle every second in every position will be effective without the need to change the other rules in my opinion.✌️😃
Wrong. The last thing you should do is give more power to reffs to make a subjective call and select an outcome of a match I’ve had too many matches decided by a terrible referee call you don’t know what that does to an athlete as you didn’t lose to the wrestler you lost to the reff.
@@matthewlee8618 Please educate me on how more aggressive stall calls gives referees more power than they already have? The last I checked, referees today have unlimited power to wreck matches if they so desire.✌️😃🤚
@@JS45678 I feel like it’s in the name you tell reffs to call stalling more and as soon as a wrestler is playing defense which is part of match tactics if you’re up by 1 in the last minute of a match a reff may be more inclined after watching him do 6 minutes of offense to call stalling and tie the match up for no other reason to “aggressively” call stalling. Reality is the wrestler should win the match now it’s hard to wrestle someone who doesn’t want to wrestle so how about we give the offensive wrestler more ways to score. That’s the only rational I can see for adding a step out point because it’s almost impossible to stall when you can give up a point for stepping out of bounds
@@JS45678 also something to think about is these guys practice without a reff in the room no other sport has such a different feel when you actually go and compete in it than wrestling because of the impact that reffs have on the wresting that occurs so finding a way to make the better guy win more often is better and putting subjectivity into calls isn’t it
@Matthew Lee Stalling is much less subjective if you have push-out. But, let's be honest, folkstyle is inherently pro-defense, pro-passivity, and pro-stalling. That doesn't mean it has to change ... but we can't keep asking ourselves, 'Boo-hoo, why don't more people watch our sport?' when the answer is *so* obvious. It's because 2/3 of the match is stone cold boring.
I *do* understand what it takes to stay in control on top ... but it's still boring af to watch. Sorry. But we all know it's true. Folkstyle, in its DNA, just promotes defense and passivity over offense. I really don't know if rules tweaks can change that. For example, folkstyle is the only style of grappling I'm aware of that encourages fleeing the mat/ring/floor instead of engaging. Not adding push-out is a HUGE omission. I think 3 pt takedowns might actually dis-incentivize shooting and incentivize stall/sprawl/scramble. Riding time 'working to pin' sounds ridiculously subjective.

Pitt Grit!! Peninsula Wrestling Club Reppin!!
We need more mat wrestling. Riding time should be removed. We need more 5 pt moves from the bottom. 3 pt takedown isn’t a good idea
