2007 Free-Style and Greco-Roman Officials Training Video

I purchased this DVD and it is very well done and most informative. Neal Dorow (NC) has put a great deal of effort into this instructional video. It is a must for mat officials and useful for coaches, wrestlers and fans. I highly recommend this DVD to increase your understanding of the International Style of wrestling. Proceeds for this video also benefit the USA Wrestling Officials Association.
