Hip-Heist
|
From the referee's position, often the top man will work a tight-waist and arm-chop.
|
An effective way of countering the top-man's action is to hit a powerful side hip-heist.
|
Hitting a "switch" is less important than actually hitting a powerful side hip-heist. Coaches should reinforce the importance of having explosive hips.
|
When hitting a side hip-heist the goal should be to get your far hip to hit the mat first. In doing this, a wrestler will get distance from the top man.
|
The explosive motion of the side hip-heist might lead to a switch or in this case open legs to attack.
|
Notice that the bottom man's left hip is up while he is leaning into and pressuring the top man by getting weight on his right hip.
|
At this point the bottom man has aggressively cleared his hips and can take an escape or reversal.
|
As he face the top man he immediately attacks the legs, penetrating through for a reversal.
|
|
By attacking low to the ankles an easy double leg is controlled.
|
|
The quick explosion of the bottom man's hips off the whistle leads to a quick reversal.
