i can see if a wrestler is toying with his opponent where that might not be good. but i wrestled with a kid in highschool that he was superior on his feet but weak on the mat and he won a state title because he could take anyone down and just kept letting them up. did it in the state finals. nothing wrong with that. i dont see a problem with a kid taking another one down time after time. I have a kid in our club that i told him to take the kid down with 3 different takedowns cause the other kid was a fish. that was good for him to learn to use more than one move. I didnt think he was toying with him he was working hard and learning at the same time. but some of you are right if he is doing it and laughing then kick his butt off the mat.
