Italian Wrestling Master, Liuzzi, Clinic Wednesday 10/19

Posted on October 17, 2016 in Events + Clinics, Training Tips

Sticks. I use sticks to train my athletes in finding their timing and reacting, downblocks, and hand eye coordination. The goal is to make their reaction to a leg attack an automatic response. To take the mind out of the motion. I want you thinking about counter attacks and not thinking about moving your leg back or reacting. My friends and other coaches say “You have sticks, how am I supposed to keep up with that. It’s like Mr. Miyagi of wrestling.”

The truth is, I did not invent this I only adapted it. I was fortunate to learn this from 2x Italian Olympian and 12x World Team Member Michele Liuzzi. In 2012 Michele Liuzzi came from Italy and did a 2 day seminar here in Hoboken. His wrestling teaching skills are some of the best in the world, language barrier and included. His inside trips, arm drags, and motion are incredible.

This Wednesday Michele Liuzzi returns to Hoboken to train us and our wrestlers on his masterful skills. He has been working closely with Coach Poplizio’s program at Journeyman Wrestling in upstate New York (full article here). We are excited to have him in New Jersey for the day.
