I (Brad) also offer individual coaching sessions.
My own method of coaching mat technique is a little different than most coaches. I rarely teach what are considered actual moves, like a standup or switch. I teach the in between stuff that happens when these don't work, and how to reposition yourself so that from the bottom you can dictate the pace and not be overwhelmed, even by a superior top wrestler. I also teach how to not get out of position, at all. This way you always have a fighting posture on bottom.
Being able to defend legs and crab rides is all part of having good position -- and something I focus strongly on.
Top position is also something that I have a knack for, and naturally, might be apt to show some goodies from that position! And, I always can and do manage to work in takedowns and defense -- I mean I'm not totally about the mat!!
My attitude about takedowns is to make things simple and straightforward. For most wrestlers, connecting too many dots ends up poorly most of the time. Takedowns have to be executable -- otherwise learning them is worthless. The most important part of the takedown is immediately attacking after any setup -- and setups can be very simple.
The beauty of individual coaching is that positions are continually reinforced. I work and rework them. So its not just a camp, where you nod your head yes, after completing a new move properly, then don't use it for 3 months, and forget it totally.
We have a nice wrestling and workout room here that's had plenty of use!
