A Handbook of Wrestling Terms and Holds is an invaluable source book of wrestling terms that will provide the reader –whether wrestler, coach, physical education instructor – with a wrestling vocabulary that can be understood in any part of the country.

Thompson Clayton, Chairman of the Committee on Standardization of Wresting Nomenclature of the American Wrestling Coaches Association, in collaboration with twelve of the country's leading coaches, has compiled this authoritative reference work that will be the standard guide for wrestling terminology for years to come.

Material from more than one hundred texts, movies, and articles much of it new and updated- has been collected from every source available at the Library of Congress; and with over 300 excellent drawings illustrating all the maneuvers listed, this revised edition is undoubtedly the most comprehensive wrestling book on the market today.
