You need to bring his head to his knee and pick at the heel of his foot.

What you are doing won't work against an average oe better wrestler.

Good comment! Thanks! As with many take-downs, it depends on the surprise factor as well.

Cael Anderson was not undefeated. my distant cousin lea gutches beat him in I think 2000 at nationals

[Paulyyy702]

@wizzbang105 Yeah, That is a good observation. Lower on the leg equals more leverage.

This is what made Cael Anderson a 4 Time National Champ Undefeated 159-0 & Winning Gold Medal In The Olympics.

my opinion is that the tie up you have to set up the ankle creates to much space for your opponent to you up. i think if youre gonna do an ankle pick you should have an inside tie with a forehead to forehead. then when you take the step back you dont switch your regular stance, you just half step back with both feet simultaneously thus staying in natural stance then keep his head down same side arm/ankle and dont let him stand straight up when you catch then ankle. and drive foward.

Or you can get an underhook and pick the near ankle.

[Huggins293]

@wizzbang105 I agree. You must pick the heel of a wrestler.

i have a kid whos ankle pick is a thing of beauty! i will get it on video and post it here as a response. he does it alot like this except he is lower on the leg as stated above plus when he pulls the ankle he throws the head making it that much better.
