Out for One
|
In collegiate wrestling, often the opponent is most open for a takedown directly aftern an earned escape
|
Here the bottom wrestler begins to cut through after attacking the opponent's lock.
|
As he pivots, back into his opponent he is already lowering his level, readying himself for a shot.
|
Notice how is lead leg is in good position to penetrate and shoot once the escape is earned.
|
Turning to face an opponent, and being ready to shoot off of the escape is an important skill to practice. Avoid wasted motion.
|
Immediately as the escape is earned, the bottom wrestler, attacks an open double-leg.
|
Because the top man relaxed, there was little need to set-up his shot.
|
Notice also that the shooter did not drop to a knee; rather, he penetrated deeply by driving through his opponent.
|
He finishes the double quickly by dropping his opponent's weight off of his shoulder.
|
By finishing tightly around the body of the defender, he is able to score back points.
|
Look to score the fall.
|
The skill of shooting off of an escape is an important technique to drill.
