This is the first part of the lengthy wrestling moves section from TheWrestlingTalk:

The first in a series of basic wrestling principles; principles from the feet.

* Keep shoulders, knees, and toes in line (vertically) in both a square and staggered stance
* Perfect your penetration step
* Elevation change - ducks and high crotch
* Sprawl with feet back and hips in
o Weight should be applied to your opponent with your hips
* Keep position while circling and don’t go to extremes
o Don’t over expose yourself while moving

Drills to improve these principles:

* In/Out Penetration (step in and back out without losing position)
* Circle Sprawl (constant motion sprawling while circling away from your opponent)
* Wall Sit (up against a wall, knees at right angle)
* Wall penetration (penetrate by exploding into a *padded* wall.)
* Shot/Sprawl drill (in video)

The six basic principles of the Step Back:

* Single Dumps
o Squat Back, circle.
* Stand up escapes
o Lead with back.
* Duck-unders generally require a step back to circle behind for takedown
* 2 on 1 control-circling
* Front headlock Sprawl
* Over and Under Sprawl

The five basic principles of Head Position:

* Use a solid, low stance with head pressure for set-up and defense
* Use power penetrations to the center of your opponent for doubles, singles, high-crotches, etc
* Keep tight side pressure for head outside singles
* When your head is trapped you must work to keep the hips free and moving.
o This is essential for low singles/doubles, and countering front headlocks.
* Where the head goes, the body follows.
o This is essential when dealing with sag headlocks and for maintain balance in general.
