GENERAL STRATEGY

Don't be afraid to lose, constantly think about how you are going attack and consistently use a proper attack.

Make your opponent wrestle your style. Force the match and keep him off balance by attacking first and continuously.

If you have reach, speed, or balance on your opponent, use these to your advantage. Mix-up them up in your attack, the odds favor you.

If you are stronger, overpower him. If you are weaker, don't fight his strength but instead concentrate on technique. Technique will win over strength nearly every time.

If you are in better shape, set a pace your opponent cannot keep up with, but don't do all the work. Make your opponent lift your weight every time possible.

Keep a cool head and remain confident. Never allow calls by the referees or actions by your opponent or the fans upset your wrestling attitude or technique. Never make the referee mad at you.

Never stop wrestling until the whistle blows. This includes not giving up a defensive move until the referee calls the points.

Do not do anything in a match that you have not mastered in practice.

Be a "chain wrestler", always performing a second move if the first doesn't work. Use holds which blend together, either as a fake to
set-up, or as a follow-up.
