Nobody loves teaching future wrestlers than Al Snow. Guy loves to help people succeed as well be safe. Respect

I loved Al Snow the wrestler but now it feels like that was just the opening act and Al Snow the teacher is the Main Event. You were made for this, sir.

Damn Al Snow has been on the juice

WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT!? A solid base of wrestling knowledge and technique

Even Al Snow recognises Steve/William Regal's eye for wrestling psychology.

I learned more about this stuff after 5 minutes of watching this than 40 years of watching he speaks so clearly and professional. No yelling screaming. Explaining. Al snow is great always been a fan of his

making wrestling look like an illusion is the reason why pro wrestling is so fucking hard to do

Al Snow is so damn amazing. I'm a coach in a completely different world, and this man is a world-class coach. He's everything that is right in this world.

For all you actual future wrestlers pay attention and practice all of these moves they cost a lot of Money to Learn but here its for free by one of the best if not the best teachers

BEST WRESTLING SCHOOL TO LEARN FROM BECAUSE OF TEACHER AL SNOW 💯👍

At least AL Snow didn't let his body go. He's in better shape than when he wrassled. Tremendous shape!

Great combination of patience & clear communication, from my perspective. When he asks "do you understand?" it's never a performative question, but a genuine inquiry. He always seems ready to go over things again or move on, as needed, without judgment.

After watching this I have a lot more respect for Al Snow. 39 years ago I wish I could have had someone like him or someone with his knowledge to train me. After watching this video I can see that he's a real professional.

2:30 EXACTLY what Wiliam Regal was trying to teach ZZ on Tough enough in 2011, "step forward with your left foot"

I have trained in professional wrestling on and off since 2013. I can honestly say I know a fair amount but nowhere near as much as vets. Within 5 minutes of this video, everything I heard was new knowledge. Fantastic coach..so easy to listen to and understand.

What were you training on in class? First thing I learned was rolls bumps and running the ropes

Brilliant and invaluable stuff, thank you so much for uploading this, should have more views. Can’t get enough of learning directly from Al Snow 👍

Al Snow dropping knowledge and providing a look behind the curtain. Yeah! 👍🏽

Awesome video thank you ❤

This is a really interesting thing to watch. But just from this, I'd say Al is a good teacher because he's not just saying "do x" but "do x because y"

All the move he teach ive seen all of them from the old stuff like ondourf ,mr valentine ,ted dibiase all of the old wwf ..truly i had the respect of the players in pro wrestling.well its all pre determined but the execution was really real and dangerous ..respect to you wrestlers.

This dude has an incredible high IQ

Thank you sir

al is the greatest trainer ever captured on film.........

It’s interesting to hear his take on the drop down being defensive. I was watching either Billy Gunn’s or nick dinsmore’s seminar and they said it was an offensive move that tries to trip your opponent. It’s just interesting to see the different philosophies of working.

He is a very good teacher

Man, this is such a great and very educational video from one of the most respected men in the business. However, I wish this would be reuploaded with that really annoying background buzzing removed, and in higher quality (even 480p would be decent enough). This video suffers significantly because of those two issues and it's a crying shame.

Whatever is the one above Master Class, that's what this is.

Halfway through: okay I'm ready to get in the ring.

"What does everybody need?!!!" Great training advice, wish I could take a masterclass from Al Snow.

Any hints for being 6'0 in a 16 by 16, I end up hitting the ropes then going goofy footed.

Shut up you Mark.

Is it better to be a lefty from the beginning of wrestling school?

That is called the " HORSE STANCE " in Karate. Feet slightly always spread a lil past hips n shoulders. Knees a lil bent similar to riding a bike. I would imagine that using a BACK PEDDLING technique like a NFL CORNERBACK would come in handy on making your footwork Second Nature.

he has a few techniques; when the person gives the right answer he responds with, "then why aren't you doing it?" a lot of this is him explaining things he learned after the main height of his career. a cynic will call it "do as I say not as I do" but a smart realizes he's speaking from experience. his way is gospel (meaning it is a great truth even if it slightly differs from what Regal or Riley would say)

Yep, had a turnbuckle snap on me..out I went.

But, how do you crash through a table on fire covered in thumb tacks leaping from the top of the cage? I just learned how to tie my wrestling boots properly.

Would love to learn from him.

Al suddenly looks tired and weathered and has a noticeable gut that wasn’t there a few years ago. Is he off the testosterone and HGH?

16:30 - 17:00 if these cats really git stretched through bjj or learned ro box to the point they could spar with an aggressive newbie/white belt and flow with them, not letting them realize what you're doing, this helps tremendously in the ring in my experience. the downside is being able to really fight doesn't get you booked to go over in pro wrestling

He might not have had a main event glamorous career but guys like Al Snow are so unappreciated in terms of wrestling intelligence. It's no wonder he was one kf the trainers for the original Al tough enough competitions. Honestly I wish they had him training talent in AEW so he could teach those young guys to start selling more and wrestling more instead of all this illogical boring trampoline spots every match

explains how to hit ropes, then proceeds to hit them the wrong way

🍋🍋🍋

Chubbs was right all along, its all in the hips.

He looks like he can't be assed 😂

If you want to become a jobber just listen to this man and his advice

What they dont get these days is that although EVERYBODY knows its predetermined, that does not stop people having emotional investment in it. The only thing that does, is that they dont sell it like al is saying anymore. I can suspend my disbelief watching goldberg, who I believe is not the greatest technically, but I cannot when I watch daniel bryan, who is classed as exceptional technically. Therefore Goldberg is a better worker than bryan. Convince me that you may be in combat 1%, trick my brain a little, and I will watch... do 150 spots, 40 false finishes with zero psychology, im changing the tv channel

Dear AEW, Hire this man to teach all of your young wrestlers the lost art of wrestling. The crap you put out with the EVPs, etc needs to be fixed!

Dear Al, In a headlock, I would back a guy into the ropes because I want the ref to break the hold. But just before he does, I may cheat and as he loosens up,(or I pull his hair and trunks) I would propel him into the ropes using momentum. It is just as stupid to throw someone into the ropes from the middle of the ring as it is to back them up and then propel them. Neither move would be done in a street fight or an MMA ring and they are both equally bullshit.
