1️⃣ Technical Mastery Over Raw Power

• Kavkaz Wrestling Academy wrestlers focus on perfecting technique rather than relying on brute strength.

• We emphasize angles, body positioning, and leverage to gain an advantage.

• Instead of forcing moves, we flow seamlessly between techniques to create openings.

2️⃣ Mastery of the Neutral Position

• Hand fighting and wrist control are key to setting up attacks.

• We prefer low, smooth penetration on takedowns rather than explosive blast doubles.

• Leg attacks like single legs, ankle picks, and knee pulls are heavily favored.

• Mavlud teaches our wrestlers use underhooks, two-on-ones (Russian ties), and arm drags to control opponents.

3️⃣ Fluidity and Movement-Based Wrestling

• Our wrestlers move smoothly and unpredictably to avoid stiff, robotic movements.

• We change levels, misdirect, and fake attacks to set up real takedowns.

• Our motion makes it hard for opponents to anticipate our next move.

4️⃣ Chain Wrestling and Seamless Transitions

• Instead of attacking with one move at a time, Mavlud teaches chain multiple techniques together.

• For example, if an opponent defends a single-leg, they transition to a foot sweep or body lock.

• They always have a backup plan if our first attack doesn’t work.

5️⃣ Mat Awareness and Positional Dominance

• Our wrestlers avoid unnecessary risks and control the pace of the match.

• We use strategic movement to push their opponent toward the edge of the mat.

6️⃣ Mastery of Throws and Upper-Body Attacks (Especially in Greco-Roman)

• Kavkaz has produced some of the best Greco-Roman wrestlers due to their exceptional throws, upper-body control, and pummeling techniques.

• Techniques like arm throws, hip tosses, and suplexes are executed with precision rather than brute force.

7️⃣ Psychological and Tactical Strategy

• Our wrestlers remain calm under pressure, avoiding emotional reactions.

• We focus on outthinking our opponents, using feints, counters, and defensive setups.

• We understand how to control the tempo—slowing it down when needed or exploding at the right moment.
