John Smith showing Ankle Laces

[JTorres719]

is this legal in folkstlye?

[nyhounds]

This is not a folk style move. This is a free style move. If you can do this 3 times real fast, you will end the period no matter how much time is left in the period. Nice way to tech people out

Well, you can go ahead and have all sorts of problems with "...the way he throws his lace..."

I guess his 4 World Titles and Two Olympic medals happned despite he did it "wrong" in your expert opinion...

Bad ass!!

Was he around 126Lbs?

[raahr]

I was a folkstyle wrestler. It was very simple 2 points takedown. 1 point escape. varying points from 1-3 for putting them on their back. After three brief seconds on the back though its all over--its a pin. There were also points awarded (1 at a time) for stalling or continued pentalties say purposely not tying your shoes so that you could loaf. Things like that. combination moves just added from those.

what does this move accomplish?

[raahr]

I never freestyle wrestled. But it accomplishes a lot of points. Its like scoreing on your apponent by man handling them versus taking them down and pinning them (schoolboy).

[i0iicetea538]

You score two points in Freestyle Wrestling i believe ( if you repeat the process then points continue to add up ), do you know you get points in Folk Wrestling ?

[raahr]

In order for this to be scored in folkstyle you'd have to press them down across their shoulders for a full second. Seconds are faster or shorter depending on the official. But nothing in this video would be scored. This would all be considered part of the scramble in folkstyle.

post a video with more specific steps? This is good, but its hard to know exactly what he's doing and what he's looking for the get the lace. Good video overall
