You can’t if you know what you’re doing they teach you to sprawl out when they go for a leg. Idc how strong you are your going to to body slam someone’s that is sprawled.
I dont think I cant be body slammed. But I have a damn good technique that's worked for me so far and thats a vicious sprawl with a crossface as I sprawl so you're basically pulled into the crossface. 9/10 people lose grip of my legs at that point as it not only hurts them but the crossface creates distance while sprawling getting your hips out of distance
People that havent wrestled say it's easy to slam or takedown someone. But it's different when you're trying to slam or takedown someone that's trying to do the same.
@@dnn1069 true, I wrestled when I lived in southern Minnesota. So I wrestled guys from Iowa as well, the ones the wrestled for the age of 3 or 4. I only wrestled from 7th grade to junior year
You don't know wrestling and the rules of disqualification. Most of these commenters are extremely stupid and ignorant. You can't pick someone up and forcefully throw them down. Obviously it was a dq and none of you know the little rules. I wouldn't be complaining and saying this isn't illegal l. Apparently not a single person in this comment section knows the real rules. I would not act like you do......
Any type of slam that is not extremely controlled is illegal so, yes his foot was close to the ground but no the ref is not in the wrong. Edit: i may not be “qualified enough” to say anything about this, but based on the fact that both wrestlers are wearing headgear I believe this is folkstyle wrestling which is highly controlled on any type of potentially dangerous move.
Unless amature wrestling rules have recently changed you absolutely can slam people. The cowboy throw is a slam, so is a belly to back suplex a belly to belly suplex and some double leg takedowns end in a violent slam. Obviously you can't to a fake professional wrestling body slam but there are tons of throws and shit that are legal.
It was illegal cause the wrestler doing the moves knees did not touch first thus not demonstrating control. That’s high school in college it’s different. I’m also assuming this is folk style and not free style cause the ref stoped it in response.
Certain states dont allow for them to be lifted over theyre heads and taken back since moves like that are dangerous for both parties if either isnt experienced in them
@@OperationFreeSoul not true at all. Slamming infractions come from a use of unnecessary force, and/or done in a non controlled manner. This takedown was nether an unnecessary amount of force and was very controlled.
Keep it up man. I wrestled for 6 years and it was the best years of my life. Greatest shape of my life as well. It is one of the most useful martial arts and will give you confidence with many self defense situations.
For those wondering this was an illegal slam for High School Collegiate style wrestling. Anytime you lift someone on the mat, you are responsible to bring them back down without slamming them to the mat. It's honestly more difficult because not only do you have to have the skill/strength to lift them off the mat, but you also have to have the skill/strength to bring them back down properly all while they are resisting you doing so. But it teaches great control and the reality is if you did something like this to someone on concrete you can literally kill or cause severe harm to someone.
The big dude drew the foul he jumped up and kicked out his leg while grabbing around his opponets back and under his arm pit bringing him down on top of him so his opponent couldnt score take down points. He wasnt actually slammed.
It's not even a slam. You can take dudes down like that hard as shit, you just cant whip their heads into the matt which he didn't do. Just cuz it looks bad, doesn't mean it's a slam. I've gotten away with a lot worse in my day.
I'm surprised, I wrestled 5 years ago in socal and these types of "slams" were never called, I thought it was just part of the sport these are illegal??
Honestly I don’t know what type of wrestling they are doing but if they are using the rule set we use in high school that was completely legal he didnt block any arms he didn’t put him on his head that shouldn’t have been called
Um...no. The ref’s job is to look out for the safety of the wrestlers. The ref is not “sissifying” the sport when he refuses to allow one wrestler to lift his opponent off the mat (while exhibiting no control of the opponent), and then return that opponent to the mat back-first while landing with all of your weight on the opponent’s chest. There’s great potential for serious injury on such a move and, therefore, should never be allowed.
@Joe 609 Well alrighty then! Try giving that response after a kid gets hurt on the mat and you get sued after not making that call. See how far that gets you in a deposition.
@@jedsteelwell2354 Lifting your opponent and returning him to the mat with unnecessary force on the back of his head has no place in high school wrestling.
I wrestled 101. school year 95/ 96. It was my senior year. Never wrestled before. Never even seen a match. I got 5th place in regionals. Went to state as alternate. This was in Wa State
@@lilwicho1461 if you had someone in guard and they stood up with you and started slamming you into the mat to escape that’s illegal. If I where to hip toss the shit out of someone that would be perfectly fine
The guy who fell jumped as the other guy was trying to finish his moved, when that happened you can't break your back trying to hold up your opponent. Fair play and a great take down.
I honestly have to admire how skillfully the big dude in yellow took the fall. He did everything to disperse the energy of what could have been a total disaster (granted I haven’t seen the rest of the match)
If I ever lifted a guy, whether it was a single leg or a double leg or anything else, I always, always got called on it if the other guys back hit the mat before my knee did by MHSAA referees. Drove me nuts! Thankfully, someone in the stands understood my frustrations and introduced me to Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling... I also got really good at doing "legal slams" making sure my knee hit first.
Reminds me of my wrestling career. The opponent school didn't have anybody in my weight class but a guy 40 pounds lighter agreed to wrestle me. I didn't manage to score a single point before getting pinned in the first round.
We thought back in the day our “body slam rules” were ridiculous. Today we would of been penalized for a hard double leg takedown. Let the boys wrestle!!!
Why did they call that illegal? That’s not nearly as bad as some of the slams I’ve seen in college. It’s wresting, and that was a good takedown. Wrestling is not for the weak.
That's not a body slam. The body slam is when you put your left hand on their right shoulder and your right arm between their legs and you flip them upside down and then slam them on their back. this is more like a modified belly-to-back suplex. He came in from the front and picked the leg, and then worked his way to the side of the guy, it wasn't text books like you would see, but it was much closer to a back suplex than a body slam. Which looks absolutely nothing like that haha
Once had my teams 220 (chubby) go against another teams 220 (NOT chubby) Went for a single leg, picked his ass all the way up by his one leg and brought him down so damn gently. He basically pinned him before he even hit the ground.
I don’t know why the ref was soft and stopped the match. It was a clean clear takedown with no head injury. If this was in Ohio the ref would’ve let blue pink and end it. Ohio wrestlers just built different
