Man I wish we had YouTube back in the early and mid 90s just so i could've learned this much in wrestling

[homegrownrevolution]

Legit technique very well explained - thanks!

[ofilee]

This looks useful thanks for the tutorial

In high school you can do the same thing but instead of reaching back and grabbing it like a football, you just ring your inside leg in and scoop up a figure four and come across his hips with it and a cross face and get back points from it.

This is a great technique, but it is illegal in high school and below. Great college move.

Illegal back bow in h.s. starting this season!

[zealousfr]

very helpful in practice but once I did it in a duel meet and I I gathered the leg and went for the high step to the armpit I instantly got called for potentially dangerous. I won 15-6. with 9 backpoints total but with this move I know for sure I would have pinned him if I didn’t get called for potentially dangerous. and I’m in 120 weight class so it’s not hard to do the move

Bo Nickal turned myles martin with this move.

If it's not illegal, it should be. I watched a state level wrestler have his junior season ended in the district semifinals this year with this move - tore his quad and one other muscle in his leg. I don't think the refs see this too often or ever at H.S. They didn't call it.

[oldcougar]

we used to call a banana split a can opener
I saw Troy Nickerson at the Beast of the East when he was in high school. impressive win over a top kid.

[arcno]

[johnjohnson]

[thewrestlingmix]

[antoniomontgomery]

Not legal in H.S. injuries on top injuries

[notqnp]

Some kid make another kid do the splits

[SuperDriven]

Great for freestyle but inexperienced folk style refs will stop for potentially dangerous

[moosef]

You guys realize that this is Palmer ridge and their rivals Lewis Palmer destroy them year after year
