This session will start with video of Kerry Boumans vs Terry Brans in the 2nd match of the 2000 Olympic Trials.  Watching this both wrestlers show absolutely focus on not being the one to surrender the takedown.  The way they make contact, walk back to the center, and when a burst is attempted they are fully committed to attacking the position or defending it.  Actual training will center on earning the first takedown of a bout within the first :30 secs.
