Like all ties, these set up more complicated attacks, which we’ll get a little into later.Īnother common tie is the Russian, or two-on-one, tie, which is where the offensive wrestler uses both of his hands to control one of his opponent’s arms, building up the body. Underhooks are when a wrestler locks his arms under his opponents arms, and overhooks are kind of the opposite. Underhooks and overhooks are probably the simplest ties to see. These are holds that force your opponent into close combat and allow you to use superior strength, as well as technique, to dominant a match. Hooks, ties, and other things I don’t know very wellįor the wrestlers who aren’t so quick on their feet, there’s ties and hooks. Fairly often at a college level, the opposing wrestler will give up a takedown to avoid back points, but if the attacker can hold his grips, he can tilt his opponent towards the mat and get 4 or 6 points out of the move.

There’s also sweep singles and low singles and all sorts of fancy stuff, but those two are maybe the most common shots you’ll see in college wrestling. There is also the high-crotch single leg, also called a hi-C, which is done by dropping the opposite side knee and sliding into the forward leg, grabbing above the knee and then moving up to finish. Most often, this is a shot to outside of the forward leg, almost swinging the attacking wrestler behind his opponent. The wrestler targets the frontmost leg, lowers their level, and shoots in on a leg. Probably the most common shot you’ll see taken is a variation on a single leg attack. This is intended to be the third and final piece in our understanding wrestling series, so be sure to check out our articles on dual and match structures and wrestling scoring if you aren’t familiar with those concepts. In wrestling, there are countless moves in neutral and offensive positions, and even some in defensive positions, and so identifying those moves can be a crucial part of understanding action. I find that the toughest part of watching a new sport is always figuring out what strategies are called and when they are used.
