Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"Greco-Roman Wrestling is a unique first-of-its-kind wrestling book as it bridges the gap between folkstyle and Greco-Roman. Coaches and athletes alike will benefit from the step-by-step explanation of upper body technique. I especially liked the section on fundamentals of Greco-Roman. I recommend this book to all wrestling enthusiasts who seek to expand their knowledge of the sport."
Mike Houck 1992 National Greco-Roman coach 1985 Greco-Roman world champion
"Bill Martell's book . . . is a very good text incorporating the techniques of greco-roman to American folkstyle and, as important, promoting Greco-Roman as one of the Olympic wrestling styles."
Greg Strobel Wrestling coach Team Foxcatcher
