University of Michigan head coach Joe McFarland and 2x National Coach of the Year Dave Mills team up to teach your wrestlers how to transition from breakdowns to rides to pinning moves. Order the full video at www.millswrestl...
the only difference my coaches taught me was to when you put your arm between his arm and side is to sink your arm deep so you can hold on as long as possible
instead of pulling the wrist down to his waist, why not keep the wrist where its at and drive him foward. pretty sure that'd make the move a lot more high percentage. there are a couple of spots where the kid needs to increase his pressure. whenever i hit this, i make sure im either pressing down onto his body 100% or driving into him on my toes
Once they do have wrist control, is there a way to escape? What counter can you do? I understand one should hand fight first the 2 on 1 and breakdown before they even go as far as ball and chain. But its hard for an adult not to make mistakes, even harder for an 8 yo. My son is good, gets 1st & 2nd place at tournaments. However, he has been caught with wrist locked between legs. What then? There must be a technique to throw the other guy off balance & make him release the hold or break the hold????? I am not a wrestler but watch many videos to help my son. I just can't find this anywhere despite owning the entire Dave Mills Youth Wrestling 6 DVD set, Erik Akin Youth wrestling 6 DVD set, entire John Smith DVD series (like 7 dvds), Mark Ironsides Sitback escape dvd, and several others including Dan Gabbles & Wade Schalles.
Good question, maybe put hands together and try to pull it out, maybe roll it out or try to peel the hand off, if you find a way please reply so i know how too, thanks!
