People say a headlock would not work at the next level also...but it seemed to work for a HS State Champ last year.
Contenders does show a bulldog and airplane move to the 4 and 5 years old wrestlers. Contenders has a lot of talented kids that win a lot of matches on wrestling skills alone at a National and Local Level. And yes Contenders don't have alot of High School wrestlers in its program and a small amount of MS kids. Ryans brother (Dustin Parrish) is a 2x State Placer and wrestles at U of Indy, Hunter Fox is a freshman who made to state, Brock Hudkins is a 2012 Middle School State Champ with Ty Mills as Runner-up. All coached by Ryan at Contenders....my guess he is doing something right. But only time will tell when the core of his kids which are 4th and 5th graders now do in at the next level.
