I was inspired to write this book when I began teaching my two young sons the sport of wrestling. I had competed as an NCAA All American collegiate wrestler and had the great fortune of being exposed to many great coaches throughout my career. I had always been intrigued by the ancient history of the sport of wrestling and how many moves still used today were depicted through ancient hieroglyphics. This book and the companion DVD/Video Instructional Series is my way of passing on to future generations, the moves and techniques that allowed me to compete against the best wrestlers in the world. MODERN HIEROGLYPHICS is a resource developed to help young kids, teens, parents and coaches better understand the full array of moves and training elements required to compete in the great sport of wrestling.
