This takes me back to the very first days, watching your clip and practicing wrestling by myself.

Nice! It’s a good thing you started doing shorts. I have always watched your other videos that are longer to help with my technique, but this is really good. ✅

[Executed]

I saw this on a longer video years ago with a friend. We both had judo experience but zero wrestling
(sadly we don’t have wrestling in our country)
It was extremely eye opening. Thanks for sharing. Your channel is like a grapplers gold mine 😊

[Wrestling_]

I tried to knee pick a guy from this position and he sent me onto my head with this lat drop definitely gonna have to learn this😅

[PsychologyStud]

The video that made this my signature move! 💯 🔥 💪

[josehasing]

The fact that modern day fights consist of less then onr punch snd then just grappling headlocks etc if ppl just lesrned this theyd becomr legends in there hoods. w.e scenario you'll becomr an overnight legend wish i had someone i can practice this on idk why ive never seen this in a UFC match

[codymitchell]

Watching your videos makes me wish I stayed with wrestling more than 2 years. I feel like I’ve learned so much compared to when I used to wrestle and I was always limited to more basic stuff because that’s all I was taught. I got hood at that basic stuff though but would often get stuck on what to do next because I didn’t know much else after a take down 😂😂

[atljacob]

Should lateral drops be used in folkstyle often? Or just as a desperation attempt?

[tylerscott]

It's been said time and time again, but Wrestling is the most important martial art.

[hamImprove]

WOW, i totally wasnt expecting this i havent seen You in years

[genghiskhan]

Finally Kolat demonstrates something I actually used, lol. Was a lot less graceful when I did it.

[taekfute]

Thank you my guy

Best throw demos. Only the Russian world team freestyle and Greco guys show throws and execute throws when the set up results in the reaction where the throw can be executed with pure timing and body mechanics. I see lots of other demos where despite the explanation of the set up, either the training partner does not provide the reaction that allows for a well executed throw. Probably because he knows it’s coming and sort of pulls the reaction making the throw being demonstrated something a elite wrestler with incredible sensitivity to the opponent’s movements and weight distribution would abandon. Elite guys don’t force a technique that is not available. They involuntarily go to another set up to disrupt his opponent’s balance sufficiently so he does not need to force the throw that is not available. He’s not consciously thinking about it but his hours of perfect reps when drilling using the percentage effotunyil its live (not going from no resistance and total compliance by the training partner to live ego wrestling trying to win? They develop games and exercises equivalent to hand slapping or physical Rock Paper Scissors where the skill is engrained free from ego. This elicits the best athlete and guarantees that each athlete develops the technique to his potential.

Then regardless of speed the set up, reaction and timing of the technique everything becomes perfect out of necessity. This includes
Positioning of everything from level change, ’elbow position, foot work including distance and foot angle, head position and relationship of throwers hips to opponents hips.

These guys are no different.Top notch demos guys.

The best I have seen given the sophistication of the techniques. Anyone can demo a blast double or an inside single followed by running the pipe. Even when demonstrating bread and butter singles and doubles, the opponents appropriate defense followed by a lesser known finish (most of which you rarely see at a high school level and not often at the college level. These finishes shown in the series of videos answers the “what now” question that most coaches will respond to with energy draining fights for position trench warfare before exhausting the handful of techniques that you go to off an unsuccessful first attack.
The reality is you don’t often see a successful first attack in higher competition with two evenly matched guys as far as athleticism, mastery of fundamentals, great condition (neither one is at risk of gassing) mental toughness (each guy is going to fight like a game pit bull, never give up in a battle of wills
So the key to victory will be having an edge with respect to timing especially with respect to
Stringing a series of attacks and defenses together so not only are the techniques second nature, but the responses to the responses and the game of off balancing, getting off balanced and Re establishing position/equilibrium without thinking is critical. And in a split second at that. Elite wrestlers always play the game of who can detect subtle changes in opponents balance, focus and timing to exploit the holes with skill and body mechanics where strength and attributes are there as a backstop to fight out of situations where leverage, flow/timing, balance are not working in your favor at any given moment. That is the type of
wrestler everyone who is serious should aspire to be. Cale Sanderson, John Smith, Khabib in MMA, Gordon Ryan in Submission Grappling, Rickson Gracie in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (ie gi grappling ) in his prime, he was like wrestling a blanket that periodically turned into a concrete slab. He was never there when his opponent believed he had a positional advantage). When the opponent believed he was on the verge of escaping a bad position or reversing a bad situation the window or door would suddenly become a brick wall or come crashing down when he was trying to go through that window he thought he created.

Are you California? I would to take your classes or have my kids take it 😎☝️🙏

[takedown]

I like the wizard and wrist set up. This is the one I teach.

[thefilmpoets]

This looks way cooler than the BJJ version 😂

[doniallan]

1 season of freestyle/greco and my neutral game consists of more throws then shots

[Bradthegoat]

Did this in my first match and won in 11 seconds

[vconsumer]

Can I do the lateral drop with an underhook as well?

[brianlyttle]

Kolat, do you have any other set ups for this. I want my girls to be able to have several options on the edge of the mat. They are now implementing the “push out” rule in folkstyle slowly pushing towards freestyle for high school girls wrestling. Any advice would help!
