The key is to drive your opponent forward with pressure while making him carry your weight and thus break his position. When jamming you want to keep your arms behind your opponent's while thrusting your hips into him and driving off your toes. While jamming him forward and staying aware of his reactions you may even be able to anticipate your opponent's movements. Flow refers to being in tune with the bottom man's movements and reacting accordingly. So, if you were riding on the bottom wrestler's left side you would basically be trying to turn/pull him about 45 degrees or so to where the number 9 would be on a clock face.įormer Olympian and coach Dan Gable emphasizes jamming your opponent forward.

He preaches trying to pull the bottom wrestler's head to the nine o'clock position. When your opponent is flat you need to stay on your toes and continue to drive your weight forward into him and then move into your pinning combinations like a half nelson or arm bar, etc.įormer Michigan State All-American and popular youth wrestling coach Mike Krause also likes to chop the arm at times.

That's where the third part comes in." You drive your knee into your opponent's rear while tight waisting and chopping. Many of the guys that have wrestled him have said that you can feel him daring you to make a mistake, which make you wrestle him a little more cautiously.Ortiz explains that after tight waisting and chopping, "What's keeping him up is his hips and his butt. You’ve got him in the air, he’s somehow still comfortable. In on his legs, you might end up on your back. He’s got such a mixed back of unpredictability that it’s become his signature. The reason I’m putting a question mark here is that Jaydin Eierman is the riddler of NCAA. His ability to ride and turn guys is a serious x-factor. Lizak’s top game is not to be taken lightly. When Rasheed just about pinned his way through the Southern Scuffle last year with this deadly crossface cradle that once it was locked up resulted in three straight falls in under a minute. He went on to record a few more falls on his way to becoming an All-American, but my, my, my that body lock throw is pretty. The incredible horsepower we saw when Conel tossed #1-seed Kollin Moore to his back to get the fall gave us one of the biggest moments of the tournament. He said it himself: once it’s locked up it’s over. The Marky Mixer has put many guys to sleep, and with how good he has become with it, I’m sure there will be many more casualties coming. Sometimes it’s just the action to get a response and other times he’s snagging it for points. I bet you don’t even notice it, but every Zahid Valencia match open with him taking a swipe at his opponent's ankle. Younger brother, Trent, can also harness the power of the hook. Note: This is the official move of the Hidlay family. The amount of comfort when he locks in his hook is apparent. Hats off to coach Pop and Adam Hall because they’ve gotten him to open up more with different attacks, but ol’ faithful still brings the noise when he needs it to. More of his offense was generated off his underhook. It was a bit more prevalent when he was a high school wrestler. As he looks to join the Cowboys’ lineup this season we will get to see how this dangerous trick of Fix fares. In Daton’s case, there haven’t been many that have been able to defend it, despite knowing that it’s coming. The second one may not have brought the same result, but it showed us just how gutsy/confident he is with this trip. And if that wasn’t enough, he ran it back the following year, on the same stage, against the same guy (Isaiah Martinez), on the way to his second title. On the biggest stage is where Cenzo’s trip sent us all into a frenzy. Vincezo Joseph and Daton Fix: Inside trip

Now that we’ve seen it enough times you’d think people would learn how to stop it, but nope, the backpoints just keep on coming. The first time we saw Nolf hit this it was the most talked about move. Oh, s*#t I’m on my back,” says every guy to ever get hit with the Winn Dixie (probably).

Let’s come out the backdoor and finish the takedown. The slickness of his slideby is too real. Kaid’s got this trick in his back pocket and we’ve seen him hit multiple times, sometimes in the same match. There’s very little warning it all just happens and before you know it you’re cradled up and hear the counting of back points. Jaggers, no one sits the corner like Yianni Diakomihalis.
