Unless you have never seen a wrestling match before, this video series is a waste of time and money. I ordered these after reading the other posted reviews (which said they were great) and was extremely dissatisfied with the teachings and explanations. They are only 15 minutes in length and cover only the most basic moves, moves learned in the first week of any quality wrestling program. They do not explain the rules in full and lack the explicit detail needed to execute any move to it's fullest advantage. I give it a 1 star rating only because I could not give it a zero.

If you have wrestled before, you'll likely not find anything new here. I had NO wrestling experience when I bought these vids, so I enjoyed watching them AND could learn from them (it can be easy to fill a total VOID of knowledge) but I do believe not citing their duration (15' each) on the item description borders on unjust advertising. The series should be sold as a unit for about 1/2 the price of the collected titles; and probably all be put on 1 tape (or better yet, DVD).

Four years ago I started the first wrestling program at any age level in northeast Louisiana. The nearest high school program was 90 miles due west and the nearest kids' program 300 miles due south. Needless to say I went through a lot of books and videos trying to find the easiest and most effective techniques and the best winning strategies and philosophies. I could have saved a lot of time and effort and been producing state champions a lot sooner if Win The Winning Edge had been around then.

What a great video! I have let my little guy watch this and he and I have learned a lot. This is great for wrestlers and parents just starting out in the wrestling world!
