The Matt Valenti 2-on-1 Saturday Workout
The Matt Valenti 2-on-1 Saturday Workout
Flowrestling was able to get 17 different technique videos from the 2X NCAA Champion. I analyzed each video, and though all of his technique is fantastic, it was his 2-on-1 series that impressed me most -it's gold, pure gold! In an effort to do his series justice, I thought I'd create a little weekend training plan for any coach/wrestler who is trying to either implement this series into his game or develop upon the 2-on-1 even more. Valenti's 2-on-1 series is expansive: he covers not only attacks from the tie but defense to the 2-on-1, and furthermore, counters to those who are in the act of defending the 2-on-1. I decided to zero in on his attacks. Here are the attacks to practice on Saturday. Conquer these, and then move on to his secondary attacks Sunday. You'll be killing kids with the 2-on-1 in no time:
Saturday: today just focus on leg attacks from the 2-on-1.
Get comfortable with the feel of the tie, and then develop your footwork and set ups from there. Valenti's set ups from the 2-on-1 are far more effective than most. Make sure to cue in on his right hand/arm movement as he controls the tie from there before attacking legs. 3 LEG ATTACKS FROM THE 2-ON-1:
