Ben Askren teaches how to stick someone with an Assassin 

I was wrestling with my Buddy im 40.He pinned me with this🤣

I'm 43 and took wrestling in middle school. Never won a match but I did make two of my opponents cry. Still hardwired into my brain after all these years.

is this only freestyle and greco? you can't do this in folk right?

@@7mikepd you can do this in folk actually. the one on top that ben shows here, the standing version and the front headlock version.

My kids hit this move regularly, never had to choke anyone or hurt anything.

As soon as he steps over he pretty much has a guillotine you can tighten down on plus how high his hips are you can still get exposure points.

sometimes the opposing wrestler can roll through but it really depends on what grip the offensive wrestler has

He began using it in freestyle because people were flattened out defending gutwrenches. The pin is obviously best case scenario. You're just trying to score.

ive seen a kid get this move hit on him before and when he tried rolling through it just tightened the hold and knocked him out

Did you?

Old school wrestling here. Can use for bjj too. Even in MMA we've seen wrestlers using it.

Look at Keegan O’Toole matches at Missouri and that will answer your question. In other words, yes in ncaa fork style it’s legal.

Keegan has basically perfected this move.

Don’t get flattened out, work up to base and fight front headlock elbow,

No because you have an arm trapped on a pinning combination. If it was under both arms it would be locked hands.

No it's not if you do it properly. Have to have the head and arm. We've done it many times and won lots of matches in highschool

@@isaiahnoll201 It is illegal under NHFS rules.

Well I mean sure. You wouldn't take MMA advice from Jake would you?

It’s been called illegal I believe

@@julionolasco651 hs or middle school? all levels??

:

Your English is as bad as his striking

Your right😂 I had one too many last night

@@Fsurules87 this niggah lol we all know askren faked that fight just look at him he looked like a bag of milk on the weigh ins

Show us your spelling abilities!

You’re

You are correct! Thank you! Askren might not know that it is illegal, or maybe HS wrestlers isn't his audience here, so I won't question his ethics.

Our high school coach taught us this move almost identically a few weeks ago

It's not illegal, it's locked through armpits, it's just a pinning combo

@@timlamb1156 yes, it is illegal. It constricts the blood supply to the brain when the defensive wrestler is brought to his back. Has nothing to do with whether or not the arm is included.

@@patrickmorgan4006 anyways, outside of the fact the skinny of the arm is not directly across the throat and the fact that the player being returned can look away and have no effect from the "choke", if you think that is how its enforced almost all pinning combos are illegal, goodness, the lock is in the arm pit, there is no way they are blocking the throat, sure pressure, but a front headlock does that, only if the wrestler is actually choking will they stop that. I have no idea what state you are in but like all pinning combos, or even chin whip it is always in the nuance of execution.

He didn't name the move

@@timothyrobertsonmusic Assassin

It’s nothing more than a BJJ transition off of a failed D’arce

Yeah cause whatever you said rolls off the toungue

@@Cheesusrice69222 it does if you train BJJ…. Where this came from

not to NCAA wrestling fans

Wat

He was really good back when he was college, look it up

He lost a boxing match to an athletic/powerful YT'er whose been practicing only boxing for 2+ yrs with great boxing minds. Here, he teaches wrestling (his wheelhouse). Listen n learn or stfu n gtfoh! ✌🏾

THIS dude is a legend in wrestling , he might have screw up his last few fight but it doesn't take away his talent

He's a dude that would pin or tech probably any wrestler you will ever meet.

He’s an Olympic wrestler

Two-time state champ. Two-time NCAA champ. Two-time Big 12 Champion. Two-time Hodge Trophy winner. 87-0 for his Junior and Senior seasons; 153-8 for his college career. Pans Champ. US National Champ. World Champion. Bellator Champion with 4 title defenses. ONE Championship Champion with 3 title defenses. The dude has wrestled at the highest levels for almost 20 years and you're hanging your hat on "you lost to Jake Paul in a boxing match"? What have YOU done?

@@Bobzrozrotwo Agree. But I can't take all that seriously when he shows up like a fatass bum for all his UFC fights, and worse for his boxing match. I mean I get how you can stil learn from him I just feel like he disrespected himself and combat sports by not training for a pro fight.

@@locrianphyrigian3779 he’s an Olympic wrestler, of course I’ll listen to him!!
