Into a Turk
|
A turk-step is a great offensive weapon for wrestlers to use off of a takedown.
|
From a double-leg position, the shooter elevates his opponent.
|
The attacker's right arm is used to elevate the near leg so that he can step into the turk.
|
With the lift nearly complete the attacker will step his "low leg" or right leg in between his opponent's legs.
|
The lift opens the opponent's legs to the turk step.
|
As the shooter returns the opponent to the mat he steps through the center of the opponent's stance.
|
A good turk-step is wrapped above an opponent's knee, so aim high when you step.
|
Once you step through the legs drive forward and bend your heal back to you, kneel to the mat.
|
Notice how high up the leg the turk-step is applied.
|
Here the shooter begins to bend his leg back to him.
|
Once a wrestler learns to hit a turk-step a variety of pinning combinations will open up.
|
Wrestlers that can hit a good "Turk" can get nearfall points off of a takedown.
