The RGFT Method for Wrestling
Rotary Ground Force Training™ (RGFT) is the next evolution in combat sport preparation. Wrestling is a rotational, torque-driven sport that demands explosive strength, balance, and control in chaotic positions. The RGFT Method, powered by the TrueTurnPro thoracic isolation device, develops rotary efficiency, maximizes ground reaction force (GRF), and protects athletes from the repetitive stress of constant grappling.
Why Rotation Defines Wrestling
Every exchange on the mat depends on rotary movement:
Why Rotation Defines Wrestling
Every exchange on the mat depends on rotary movement:
- Takedowns require hip torque, trunk rotation, and power transfer through the core.
- Defensive counters rely on stabilizing the spine while redirecting an opponent’s force.
- Mat control and escapes demand rotational strength to twist, roll, and create leverage.
- Upper-body ties and throws require integration of the core, hips, and shoulders under heavy resistance.
- Without efficient rotary mechanics, wrestlers lose leverage, gas out quicker, and risk serious injury.
The Breakthrough: Locking the Upper Kinetic Chain
The core innovation of RGFT for wrestling is locking the upper kinetic chain. With the TrueTurnPro, the shoulders and arms are immobilized, forcing the thoracic spine and hips to generate and control rotation. This provides unmatched benefits:
- Pure Thoracic Isolation – Builds rotational capacity in the trunk, not the arms, making athletes harder to move and easier to control ties.
- Explosive Core Activation – Strengthens the obliques, spinal stabilizers, and deep core muscles for high-power takedowns and scrambles.
- Hip Freedom & Mobility – Improves torque generation from the hips, critical for throws, lifts, and shots.
- Joint Protection – Reduces strain on the shoulders, elbows, and spine, lowering risk of overuse and high-impact wrestling injuries.
- Better Leverage & Control – Athletes learn to rotate from the core, improving mat control and efficiency under resistance.

The RGFT Advantage
Traditional wrestling strength programs often emphasize brute force (lifting, pushing, pulling), but do not condition the rotational engine that drives every match. The RGFT Method closes this gap by training:
Injury Prevention Through Rotary Training
- Ground force application for explosive shots and mat returns
- Rotary stability under load to resist opponent counters
- Kinetic chain sequencing to deliver power smoothly from hips → trunk → opponent
Injury Prevention Through Rotary Training
- Wrestling is among the most physically demanding sports, with high injury rates from repetitive strain and awkward torque. Common issues include:
- Shoulder injuries (labrum, rotator cuff, dislocations)
- Elbow and wrist strains from grips and ties
- Spinal compression and low back pain
- Hip, knee, and ankle sprains from takedowns and scrambles
Performance Outcomes
Wrestlers who train with the RGFT Method and TrueTurnPro experience:
- Faster, more explosive takedowns powered by rotational force
- Stronger hips and core for throws, lifts, and counters
- Greater durability during long practices and matches
- Improved mat control through better balance, leverage, and sequencing
The Future of Wrestling Training
Wrestling is a sport of torque, leverage, and explosive rotation. The RGFT Method provides a cutting-edge system to build strength where it matters most—the rotary core—while protecting athletes from the injuries that shorten careers.
Wrestling is rotational. The future of wrestling training is RGFT.
