The Hand Fighting Setup you NEED in your Wrestling - Shayne Van Ness · Athletes Ocean

What it is

Penn State's Shayne Van Ness breaks down the elbow pass hand fighting setup with specific variations that distinguish it from the standard version.

Why it's great

Van Ness adds personal details to a common technique that most coaches teach generically. The video isolates one hand fight setup and shows the exact hand placement and timing that makes it work against resistance, rather than just demonstrating the move.

How to use it in practice

Use this as a 10-minute hand fighting station: demonstrate the elbow pass with Van Ness's grip details, drill it static with a partner providing light resistance, then incorporate it into live hand fighting with the instruction to set up any attack off it. Focus the coaching on his specific hand position on the elbow.
