Where else would you get pinned your stomach

Same here!! These dudes do not care

One rule of wrestling: Always be the aggressor. You don’t have to think much. The defender have to counter everything you throw at them

I’m the only girl in my team too. I’m out this year with an injury but my first year nobody took me serious. Once I started working twice as hard as every guy in that room and was at home working on everything they started to take me serious. Just keep working on it, I got thrown around for most of my first year. Keep practicing and you will get better. Use speed and agility against the boys because they were born stronger than girls. It’s just a fact. Use what you are good at against them and don’t try and muscle them cause it won’t work

Well I'm a guy but these guys I wrestle with are tough too, I am the only 106 in either varsity or JV and it's my first year. Gotta learn this shit so I can defend (be agressive ofc) against these guys lol

What if you just do some random shit and you don't know what the fk you doing in wrestling.. uhm... any advice?

Have you used it yet

Cameron Lofte same

I always get pinned in like 3 seconds

Stay in a good mindset

when you do it immediately you have a chance

peterkrepkiy legs and neck muscles.

Alan Brent post leg! It’s likely in my cement mixer video. Curriculum level 1 or 2.

robbie31580 how did it work in jiu jitsu?

you muppet I actually had some difficulty hitting this with any kind of consistency. It’s been a bit since I’ve tried it but from what I recall I had trouble going for this without exposing myself to submissions. I don’t feel like I was doing the proper explosiveness necessary to make it work either.

you muppet that said a black belt at my gym said he used to use it so take everything I said above with a grain of salt

+Cesar Villasenor Same. My first match, too. I am a new wrestler. I am good at ground wrestling, but fail when I am on my back. I hope this helps me tomorrow in case I am rolled onto my back!

You should ask a bodybuilder, he will be able to help you better. A wrestler should focus on performance, not appearance.

This bodybuilding wrestler says, wrestling is enough to build a strong neck with the appearance u want. Problem lies when trying to strengthen the outside of the wrestling room(strain or pull keeping u out of the wrestling room). With a bull neck, head always up should be enough. Have ur partner go heavy on ur head in neutral and top position💪🏼

Whiteboy Joey yeah I had a tourney yesterdad(Saturday) and I lost one round I'm heavyweight and it was my first tourneyment ever so I will definetly be using this in the future

that sucks man. when i went to a scrimmage i lost then when i went to the tournament i won my first round then the second round i lost. so every match u will get better and better

RFPranks yo I have my first tournament tomorrow. any tips? I weight 160

Luis Melgarejo88 bro my advice to u is what ever moves u know use it once u have the best advantage to use them on

I got a novice tourney next week, any tips?

Post. Better to stay on top and have them escape from danger, than get reversed to your back.

What team your at, ;-) lmao jk

I could only wish for that to happen 😂 I'm the only girl on my team

Folashaday Shoneye That must be awkward, but good on you for doing what you love!

that’s heaven for me omg, i literally have 4 girls on my wrestling team including me

Colton Lynn That’s your problem, I don’t discriminate who I wrestle and you deciding not to wrestle them is entirely your fault.

Chris Ta maybe. There are many ways to escape if you are on your back. This is one of the main ways out.

Huy Le strength and stamina are important, work on them! Be in the best shape of your life and it won’t be a problem.

Huy Le gotta exercise harder

Get in the best possible shape and manage your energy expenditure better. Good luck!

Jog every morning

PUSH yourself when your in practice and PUSH yourself when you run...and run on your own time if you can

Running stairs. A good double stair, up and down as fast as you can go for 20 minutes. Ran them during practice and at least 20 minutes after. Being too tired to finish has nothing to do with experience or talent but desire. Losing to someone because they are better or more experienced is acceptable. Losing because you ran out of gas is all on your desire. Never finished a match when I couldn't have went out and wrestled another one immediately.

Joseph Holcomb you suck at wrestling give up and find a different Hobby

Bren Desch You probably need to work on your neck strength (unless you’re a heavy weight, this move doesn’t work well for really heavy wrestlers). Look up some bridging exercises. The bridge is a fundamental movement in wrestling. Good luck.

Bren Desch I think good bridging always does great. But another thing is is when a guy bridges like that instead of having your hand underneath both of them I would’ve grab the one side because if you reach like that with those guys all you need to do is let go of them for second block that with your post arm, and then they stay on their back! I feel that’s how good Pinners like me, and all the pinning because usually they couldn’t bridge :) I think as a smaller person in high school when I took state my senior year at 119! It helped to also have a 22 inch neck :)

It's harder to do, but it can still work. I do a different type of motion from the same position against bigger guys. I still position my arms the same way

It might, it all depends on how good the guy on top is at the half Nelson. There are many ways to escape off your back, this is one of them.

It is still a good drill, but much harder for heavyweights to do. The idea of bridging is the best initial strategy for getting off your back, but your escape may be different when going live against someone who is reacting.

Lol for me this works on people much smaller than me, but since I am a Heavy Weight Grappler, it didn't work for me against people my weight especially once they have good base going on. It requires a really big explosion, but if you're small it may be better to get double underhooks and slip out (my personal favorite) and take the back or shrimp and go into either full guard or half-guard. But he is right, it's definately a good drill, especially if you're in a smaller weight class. Just keep in mind that the idea is to not let the opponent pin u in the first place lol Stand up if ur guard isn't so good. If he pins u, then right away get to work before he does.

angelina jacobsen your neck can get very strong with practice.

Don't worry, refs will call potentially dangerous if necessary

justin13043 It sounds like you need to get stronger. Do lots of pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups every night. You'll be strong enough to fight your way out soon.

Any techniques or i just need to work on my strength.

Work your shots very slowly, memorizing the exact footwork and level change you will be using. Once you have the mechanics mastered, it is easy to turn the speed up till you are at 100% speed.

Jason Layton same I too 16 😂😂😂 But I Am A Indian Girl 🙏😇😇😇👍

Samad Syed did it work?

Nope, it will work anyway. You should never get pinned in this position.

Look away

if you keep your head up it will be hard to get halfed but if they get your head down look away and peal the hand away

Weight classes should stop something like that from happening... But you'd be surprised how much weight you can bridge once your neck gets really strong. After 2+ years of wrestling, you'll have a powerful bridge.

They might, and then you'll need to try something else.
