In changing levels, wrestlers lower or raise their hips to move their bodies in a vertical plane. It takes a lot of practice for wrestlers to keep the correct body positioning when changing levels.

Here are key points to focus on when teaching your wrestlers how to change levels:

• Keep the head up.
• Do not bend at the waist, bend at the knees.
• Raise or lower hips while maintaining proper positioning.

Knowing how to change levels properly helps a wrestler attack his or her opponent without breaking from a strong position.
