Pig Roast and Team Wisconsin

May 28, 2012/0 Comments/in Askren Wrestling Academy, AWA, Company News, Special Events /by Ben Askren

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who made Saturdays pig roast a success!! We had over 150 people show up and we expect the event to keep growing. Also a big thank you to Jeff Armstrong(Nicks dad) for not only cooking the pig and chickens but giving us the idea in the first place. I think everyone who was there can agree that meat was delicious. Read more

MMA Good For Wrestling?

February 14, 2011/0 Comments/in Askren Wrestling Academy, AWA, Coaches, Wrestling /by Max Askren

So as I was writing last week procrastinating, I checked a discussion on Flo out. Is MMA good for wrestling? Different people responded in various ways. This is something that I have given much thought since my brother has switched to MMA and my folk-style wrestling career has recently ended. I think there is a big problem with this question. The biggest being that it is ambiguous. Because of the US’s unique situation, there are two different questions that really should be asked. Is MMA good for folk-style wrestling? Yes. Is MMA good for freestyle wrestling? No.

Adding Dimensions

February 7, 2011/0 Comments/in Academies, Askren Wrestling Academy, AWA, Camps and Clinics, Coaches, Wrestling /by Max Askren

Most of the time insomnia is a thing of the past for me, but here and there it catches me. Fighting doesn’t work too well, so this past week during an episode I sat down to my computer and started watching matches. I started by finding ranked wrestlers first and watching opponents and then their opponents so I didn’t have to keep going back and forth. A majority of the wrestlers still had holes in their wrestling which limits the guys they can compete with. Seeing kids inept in such important positions pains me. Kids with so much athletic potential lack the technical knowledge. Holes ranged from small things such as not being able to return someone to as big as having no mat wrestling skills. Reasons for not developing these aspects are many. Environment is lacking in competition or knowledge, the philosophy of only working one thing is maintained, etc. Ultimately though, we need to be accountable for ourselves, strengths as well as inadequacies.

Game Plans: Not just for Football

January 25, 2011/0 Comments/in Academies, Askren Wrestling Academy, AWA, Coaches, Wrestling /by Max Askren

Coming down to the final stretch of the season I look to my athletes and wonder what can I do to best prepare them for success. I see way too many techniques that are still missing and there just isn’t enough time to cover it all. I started out this season hoping I could get these guys the right tools to do well in most matches. So I decided to go through positions and decide what was essential and what was secondary. Being able to keep the match in certain parameters means you need to cover less technique. For instance rather than spending time scoring from your underhook, and defending all that can happen from theirs, only defending when people try to get one is essential. This allows for a simple highly focused gameplan. Simple game plans do three major things: allow less possibility for error, constitute less factors meaning greater focus, fewer done well equates to confidence.
