Everyone that does BJJ needs to improve on their wrestling. This is a solid start. Obviously there are adjustments that need to be made for the gi but overall all the same principles can be applied
A must-have for those starting out wrassling!
Pat has tremendous knowledge regarding the fundamentals and explains the why of the technique. He follows through after the drills with actual application in certain scenarios.

If your looking for pure wrestling this is a good option take what you can use and apply it to what you do BJJ, mma etc but for pure wrestling this is great as it helps you understand basics and overall thought process and concepts
