Greatly appreciate your uploading these videos. My kid is in his 2nd yr and leg riders are killing him. I'm sure after watching these he'll do a better job of defending and if I have my way he'll even throw some legs.
i thought once his knees were down you couldnt lock your hands unless you were very very close to pinning him... please correct me if im rong im just curious because i was tought different
@semperfi253 It's okay to lock hands on the power half. The refs will always call locking hands on the top guy if it's around the waist or legs to stop kids from stalling. The power half is a pinning move, so it's allowed.
I learned almost everything I know about leg riding here, not to many schools practice it so it can be a real surprise I practiced this around the end of my season it was really helpful guillotined a couple people at regionals and after that it's all I use now.
I had to revise a little during the season because kids kept falling off their opponent. "Leg ride 2" addressed that. Overall I just show the helicopter for kids to get the feel of things. I wouldn't bother with it during a match. A good wrestler isn't going to just fall over.
on the helicopter and cross face. Honestly its alot safer for younger wrestlers to start with the arm across the body on the side of the leg and gripped tightly on their trap (a bear claw) that way if they happen to be slow they wont get beaten in a scramble and you wont end up throwing a clipboard at someone.
I starting playing with this at Jiu Jitsu and pulled off a few things from it, some arm triangles and got mount. I live in NYC and I can't find any place for adults to learn wrestling.
@dannielpreto your jiu jitsu place will most likely have some top notch wrestling talent, if not try and find a school that does if you aren't too committed already. It helps to have fellow ex wrestlers to train with, my school in particular has sever ex NJ/NY region/state place winners (we are down south so this is actually a big deal due to the huge difference in wrestling between the Northeast and Southeast).
@dannielpreto thats weird. should look for freestyle clinics and such, that kinda stuff will be useful in mma, if anything will be an incredible cardio workout if you do anything serouis.
@dannielpreto i learned these about a year ago and now i use them all the time to set up the twister. watch eddie bravo demonstrate what i'm talking about.
Thank you for this upload, very informative. I witnessed a lot of leg riding during wrestling season but was never too crazy to get into it. But after a little bit of watching many skilled wrestlers use it and have a lot of sucess doing it i thought it looked pretty fun. I am getting very good at leg riding now practicing it on the off season and am looking forward to use leg rides during wrestling season. Maybe il even try to get in them from optional start?
cross body ride is good but i like being parrell to the guy and wen u break them flat get alto more hip pressure so u can just attack there head with ur wrists
@Xsar08X No, the difference is your using your other hand with a crossface than with a turk, and with a turk your hipping in and on top of him and with a crossface your using your bodyweight to sink him to the mat and your positioned slightly outside of his body
@hobbygod HS and college in particular. Freestyle and Greeco are the styles seen in international competition/olympics. I like to do the Freestyle starting in March when the high school season ends.
@randygeiger ok, but Folkstyle wrestling would still be considered MS right? cause i'm in 8th right now going into 9th next year, and i'm fairly new, but love to ride legs, so i just wasnt sure
@hobbygod Yes. Sorry I was vague. There is not a lot of MS wrestling in southern California. I am starting a club in March and it will probably focus on freestyle. Stick with it. I still wrestle with the kids at 47.
Nice. I might work on my leg riding a bit more this summer and next season

@dannielpreto That's a tough one. I have always used coaching to keep up with wrestling. Maybe find a local high school to volunteer.
