Fair question. Keep an eye on green's right hand and watch how it's initially placed in front of and around red's elbow. Here is the rule, but the short answer is that it has to be behind red's elbow instead. "ART. 5 . . .Offensive Starting Position. The offensive starting position is one in which the wrestler is at the right or left side of an opponent with at least one knee on the mat on the near side of the opponent. The near side is the one on which the offensive wrestler places the palm of the hand on or over the back of the opponent’s near elbow. The offensive wrestler’s head shall be on or above the mid-line of the opponent’s back. The other arm (right or left) is placed loosely around the defensive wrestler’s body, perpendicular to the long axis of the body, with the palm of the hand placed loosely over the defensive wrestler’s navel. A knee or foot may be placed behind the defensive wrestler’s feet. However, the offensive wrestler is not to place a foot or a knee on the mat between the opponent’s feet or legs, nor straddle the opponent. The offensive wrestler’s legs or feet may not be in contact with the defensive wrestler."

@@MidwestWrestle Thank you very much! I never would have caught that. And I don't know enough about wrestling to have figured that out for myself. I wrestled for one year, when I was 10 or 11, and lost every match via pin. I had absolutely no idea what was going on, what the rules were, what the objectives were. Nothing. I don't remember if I was poorly coached, or if it was because, at that time, I hadn't learned how to learn yet.

@@jcbattistoni That's unfortunate, I'm very sorry to hear that you didn't have a better experience. Glad that you found the channel, though. Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever have more questions, I enjoy helping to educate and grow the sport.
