Wrestling by E C Gallagher

In the first part of the twentieth century, Edward C. Gallagher is credited with virtually redesigning contemporary amateur wrestling. He was a natural athlete with a degree in electrical engineering who turned his logical mind to wrestling as Oklahoma State’s Director of Athletics in 1916.
He claimed to know more than 400 wrestling moves and immediately developed a successful squad, boasting 138 victories and only 5 defeats in the first year. For decades, his simply named wrestling guidebook was regarded as the pinnacle of university level wrestling manuals. Wrestling by E. C. Gallagher is a must-have for martial artists, wrestling historians, and fans of the sport. It is faithfully translated from the original by Kirk Lawson and boasts a vast collection of 148 photographs recreated with digital perfection.
