This is so true, my coach told me this after I tied up with 10 seconds left instead of setting up a shot causing me to lose 5-3 in one of our duals

That’s how I won my state title back in 03

Lol "go win a state title" 🤣

"Boom your welcome, go win a state title" 😂😂

I was an ok wrestler, won a few matches at state. Recently found old tapes. On the feet was a strength, but i now see how awful my set ups were. So painful to watch 18 yrs later

I gotta go show my elementary school wrestler this.

I just lost my state placement to a lack of neutral offense yesterday, so I’ll think about this during the off-season

Roman Bravo Young and Carter S are the best wrestlers I’ve learned from because they’re so strong and agile. Mobile and quick and intelligent with there movements and attacks

My go to to was downward neck pressure, then shoot when they lift

if anyone reads this, just join wrestling while in high school man if you are on the fence about it. wish I could go back and do it because I ended up not

Only qualified for California state in high school but this is so true. I did this many times where guys would assume you’re gonna tie up then right when they think you are, you go in for a shot. Didn’t work all the time but sure was highly effective.

I won State without EVER really shooting. It never made sense to me why you'd wanna purposely go UNDER someone. That's exactly where I want you. Imma sprawl...and essentially do a Switch, before he even gets ahold of me. My set up was to lock up and faint ankle picks. That way they'd shoot, or by using their ankle pick defense....duck under suplex...all day. I'd like to coach. Keep working everyone.

I got so close to winning a state title. I was in the semis with thus kid I've wrestled before. Last time I wrestled him he won 10-7 with three backpoints in the final seconds. The kid was also at the time a 2-3 time state champ, idk. We went into overtime and then he took me down so I couldn't make the finals. I still took 3rd and the kid who beat me in ot pinned the kid in the finals.

I used to push and pull and at an awkward moment just shoot. It worked many times.

Wrestling is badass, still regret not trying it when I was in school

I wish wrestling was a thing in Australian schools when I was younger, I'd have done it in an instant. But kids are coddled and taught in school that any sort of physical conflict is inherently a bad thing and must never happen. I grew up as an emotionally neglected and fearful child (due to losing my mother at 5 and my father suffering from ptsd from his work and being prone to extreme outbursts of aggression) This carried into my late adolescence and early adulthood and resulted in myself having no capacity to engage in any sort of conflict (real or perceived) and being easily manipulated and unable to say no to others. As well as a learned distrust and expectation of abandonment from women (due to my mother leaving) After deciding to commit to training Jiu Jitsu and learning that not only is conflict inevitable and must be accepted as part of life, that even someone as damaged as I am can become a formidable force to contend with. I see absolutely no good reason whatsoever for parents not to enrol their child in martial arts. None.

Flashback in the mid January of 2023

I'll never forget winning state in Illinois for 125lbs. So much work was put in. I literally would cry sometimes but it was worth it! 💙💙

Nice how they pause on the 33 second mark on the clock. They are all a part of it.

I wish I would’ve took wrestling more serious came 2nd in nationals one pound over my weight class. Was the best way to teach discipline and learn to control anger

I used this in my 230 match and placed 2 at my tournament so thanks dawg

Brandon is so fast has never slowed down

My coach showed us this match

This is the first thing I was taught

My coach use to have me lock with my opponent and jerk them down so their instant reaction is to go straight back up so while they jerk back up I’ll let go and shoot and works every time

Or you can hit a nasty ankle pick from the tie up! Being versatile and able to score from any position is what will really up your game to the next level. Like Bruce Lee said "be like water" meaning shapeless, formless, and able to adapt to anything!

I always feel like I’m not gonna be able to get deep enough when I shoot. PTSD from one of our better wrestlers cross facing the actual FUCK out of my nose when I was a freshman

What u said at the end about setting up shots. I say applies to every combat sport. Everything needs to be set up when it’s come to fighting or combat. U can’t set up a takedown without feints and level changes. U can’t set up strikes without feints and counters. U can’t set up submissions without being in the right position, or even just throwing one up doesn’t work. U gotta again set it up. Very smart advice. That seems like most people don’t do from what I see on the ufc especially. But this is why the best fighters r the most technical. Cuz that technique also means being able to set up ur moves. It’s like chess

Absolutely spot on.

Thank you for this iv been shorting from a tie

He grinded for that W. Well deserved victory 🔥🔥🔥

I don't even wrestle yet & I still feel like I learned something, thanks.

Julian’s the homie!! glad he’s getting the recognition.

The ending is fire 😂

Bouta use this in the tourny this morning lol

Thank you🙏

Also a big thing I noticed with younger wrestlers is that set up THEN shoot rather than using a set up AND shooting. They’re thinking and processing too much and not treating it all as a simultaneous process. If you set up then shoot you’re take down won’t be nearly as successful. Here he’s already taking his penetration step before he finishes the “set up”

That right hand tie leaving the left hand down is lethal if you like to shoot head inside singles to the left. My bread and butter

I miss wrestling came 2nd in nationals one pound over my weight class should’ve token it more seriously

Wasn’t expecting to see my homie Brandon on here haha that’s dope

Boom stock. Ben, thanks for the insight. Uwm.

My go to was ALWAYS to practice this kind of sequence..!! I always kept a low center,,, shot with double upward chop then immediately post the face with my left hand driving upward and to the left while simultaneously dropping my right down for an outside single..!! Followed up by transitioning to high crotch with my right arm between the legs from the opponents back side...!! On the way to the deck I would decide whether I would lock a near side cradle OR go immediately to double leg ride into a chopped down double arm bar..!! Works, like a charm, especially if your super fast like a sprinter..!! I ran a 10.9 100m back in the day, so my shots were like lightning..!!

Basically a tap and go! Everything needs to be set up and if it’s not there and you have to score you better flurry with multiple fakes and set ups till those legs or legs open up. Even more to your point this is why re shots are so successful on this level. Unless your Cael just colar tie picking everyone with ease then you need to have the angle the hand fighting to get in and the set ups to create that very small window of space to get your finishing percentage higher! Throw the elbow by, or boot scoot and suck under into it. This is D1 best of the best no one is just going to give you a leg and easy finish.

Makes sense, I shoot from a tie up a lot and this happens to me

the most effective set up is to make your opponents step where you want them too while circling once you make them step where you want them too you control there movement without them knowing

I never did shoot through HS just worked the head and hands. Had good endurance from cross country so I would work the other guy.

Tap and go! Or feint and go from the open.

You can with that snap on neck,but you need to be sure have a good grip in the moment,later be sure the level stance of oponent tu reach legs,apply hi-c turn later the pancacke slam

I used to take wrist control on their right hand snap it up and shoot in really fast when we were in a collar tie

if you have a tie with one arm and another arm free, be the first to go for a high crotch

I'll save this for high school. I'm in middle school 8th states next week wish luck

That’s what my coach teached to us on my first day 😢

I hate being tied up absolutely hate I like dancing and I can’t get in my rhythm when your touching me I like to style like jden and rby jden not the fastest but definitely one of the slickest rby is just confusing because he changes his pace so much so these to dude I try to model my game after

Going to a match rn imma set up my shot like that

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Yeah, I never locked up when guys reach for me they were taken down

Chain wrestling . Watch Jordan Oliver, 3 times state champion and 2nd as freshman from easton pa .

Set ups, planning on the fly💯

Fear the fork!! ASU!!

Flawda boys doin jt right in d1

Will this work with 280's?

i will now go to states, thank you

Thank you lmao

Coach talked about set ups, but didnt show how to apply it with variations. I mainly just used a basic snap down.. but its levels to it esp with collar tie set ups which ia something I didnt learn til after. Just basic snap down and look for an angle.

Bruh I never even thought of this

Wrestling is such a fascinating sport, the explosive power and constant output during each round. I've always found wrestling, particularly Folkstyle, to be probably one of the most interesting sports there is. Although Freestyle and Greco-Roman have their place, I honestly prefer Folkstyle and Catch, which makes sense as iirc, Folkstyle was born from Catch wrestling? Or was it Freestyle? Fuck, now I'm second guessing myself. All I know is Josh Barnett explained Catch wrestling as "Folkstyle wrestling but with submissions" so there's that

That’s how I won my tittle back in 2009

Just a quick question. I saw the one guy shoot and use his leg to trip (judo move) him on his back. Is that allowed in wrestling?

This works

What match is this

Cool 😊

they should have got andy bernard on the mats

alright, cool, I am just going to pull a 21 jump street and join the wrestling team

This is why tapping their forehead makes them bunk and you shoot as they blink

I get punched in the eye every time I put my hand up and take a shot

Nicely

Yeah I let them shoot first then I spin around im in 8th in middle school and this is my 8th year wrestling I’ve been shooting everytime till last year and then I realized if they shoot get behind them and get your 2 points

I do the same thing all the time but I tap the head

Knox won 11-0 to a QUALITY opponent. Bassett won 11-0 to a HIGH level opponent as well. Those 2 are at a different level. Wonder who would win if those too wrestled again at the same weight.

Although it’s not the first martial art I wanna learn, it’s still one I wanna learn later on. Do y’all always have to wear that skin tight outfit when practicing, sparring, and competing? Is it possible to wear something else?

Your the inventing the wheel

Idk, if u break them it doesn’t matter what u do . Depends on the wrestler n mentality . Can’t be a one trick poney . Setups can set you up

Hi I'm sir. Butler for the blunt.

Wild

Can’t watch wrestling without thinking of South Park episode

Dude there options to shoot from everywhere including tie ups

Stop reaching up stay inside And Frame. Requires a bad reaction from opp. Stop hanging

looks like old fashioned feiniting to me

Hey I met the asu twins at a wrestling camp

Where are they wrestling?

Jordan burroughs would disagree but like i agree

Who won ?

I did not know highschooler have tattoos

So never shoot from a "tie-up".... define tie-up I guess. Underhook.... 2 in 1 ...

It’s all fun in games till you realize you can’t shoot…

Or grab the opposing arm and spin him to take the back

I. Love wrestling

Bro forgot to mention they are insanely strong lmao

Cornell good

I will go win the state title
