[Fallen385]

cant you just dump the other side and not worry about the cartwheel?

[geherdun]

[Lrdvltr]

This is a masterpiece of physical art.

Would this be legal for middle school wrestling? If not, can you show me the wrestling moves that are please? I am starting this year and don't want to get my ass beat on silver team. I will be on this team as beginner. So I need some simple and good tricks I can do.

[TahoeVista]

Dude ... this is awesome!

[salinas83119]

Are these moves allowed for regular wrestling like for high school ? Not freestyle or folk , greek etc ?

[DixieNormas07]

Man this makes me wish there was a wrestling gym in my area

[olamprov]

Holy crap, you have got some of the best movement I have ever seen!

[daykellonko]

Can you do this with double leg?

[KOLATCOM]

@daykellonko With a double leg lift you have both legs so there is no need to cartwheel over your head. Just swing his legs across your chest and drop him away from your head. If you try to cartwheel and post you will release the near leg and your opponent can post his leg and put you in a bad position. With the high crotch you have the near leg secured with your right arm and are free to post with the left arm for the cartwheel.

you dont really go that high on your high crotch you only have your arms at the knees.

[cooltoon666]

Is an arm turk a valid option after jumping sides, instead of scooping the leg?

[KOLATCOM]

@cooltoon666 If the turk is there you should take it. Experienced wrestlers will not give the other leg up in this position. It is best to secure the takedown with the near leg hook and get two points before going for a turn.

[ViETxSOULJAx]

That's a cool move but then I get heck tired when I pick them up lol

[nedopking]

why do you need to jump sides at the end?

[KOLATCOM]

@nedopking You jump over to clear your head from under his hips. This move is a specific counter for when your opponent jams your elbow - if this happens you cannot switch to a double leg and drive away from your head. You must dump to your head side and if you don't jump over your opponent will be able to hip down and put pressure on your head and prevent you from finishing the takedown.

@KOLATCOM Would you say it's easyer to lift someone from the double leg grip or from the high crotch. I'm very new to wrestling and I'm trying to find takedowns that would be easyer yet high percentage. I love the "High crotch - run the pipe" vid, it seems like such a natural motion. I'm very open to any suggestions, my glass is very empty :).

[KOLATCOM]

@shmuckling If your arm is not blocked it is best to switch to a double leg to lift or drive across and finish.
