What it is

Hand-fighting fundamentals covering grip control, inside position, and tie management for neutral position dominance.

Why it's great

Where Systematic Wrestling (Aug 6) gave the overview, this digs into the mechanical details—hand placement angles, pressure direction, and the timing of grip breaks. Iron Faith shows the common error of reaching instead of controlling center, then builds a progression from static drills to live resistance.

How to use it in practice

Start with the inside control drill: wrestlers establish collar ties, then fight for inside bicep control using the elbow-in position shown at 2:40. Progress to the grip-strip-replace sequence, emphasizing the snap-down threat that creates hand-fighting opportunities. Finish with 30-second live hand-fighting rounds where athletes must establish inside control before shooting.
