[@germcrazyshokoff3623]

My son (high school) tells me ALL the time that the moves I’m suggesting won’t work, even though they worked for me repeatedly at the same level. He’s a heavier weight and I kept telling him to just try a simple bear hug straight to pin if he’s having trouble grabbing a leg or hitting a takedown. It was an argument for two months, until he tried it and pinned the dude in 30 seconds. Now it’s part of his arsenal as if he is the one who thought of it! But that’s all good. At that rate, maybe by the time he’s 35 he’ll be using all of the things I’ve been pushing for the past 10 years…

[@earnyourgold]

😂As a coach I definitely can feel your frustration. They admit that you know more about wrestling than they do yet they don't trust you when you try to tell them what moves to try out. My 220 FINALLY started doing double leg to a body lock at State last week and pinned his way to the Finals with it.

[@ToothTwister77]

My 17 year old does the same thing. Then after he tries something and finds out for himself that it works, It's all he does for the next two weeks lol

[@TylerJayWalker]

It's tough as a parent - your kids don't want to ignore you, but they're already listening to you about so many things in life, so in sports sometimes they hear it better from someone else (coach or whatever).

It works bc the man on bottom is expecting you to ride tough and tight. When he feels that space it's almost something your not used to.

Yeah the element of surprise is definitely a key factor here. In HS, I would just wait for the guy to try to force the cradle and then escape really quick. I would've been caught off guard if someone tried to do a pancake against me

[@ceciltuttle743]

Thomas myer, this love is great but just a preference I’d work on getting an under hook first, same side as your head whichever it may be and when they are pushing let the pressure off and pull that undertook back and down while you head two them and get around the head in a north south half basically and if the wrestler is any good they will turn then you just have to thread your other arm get them in the Iowa cow catcher basically the moves work seemleesly if done right

[@earnyourgold]

I just finished up my last year of coaching for awhile, but maybe when I get access to a room again then I can show the moves as well

[@mattmcmanmon451]

Agree. Sit-outs are an explosive off the whistle move. IF your momentum stops your in big trouble usually. The other factor that is getting these guys cought is, they are not keeping the far elbow tucked (one not posted on the mat) to the body as they rotate to their opposite hip. That's a key piece of technique in the series and def vs the pancake. Without the underhook, guys would just belly out or roll with it when they feel it coming.

[@BasicGestalt]

create that sudden space and the opponent is like wtf

[@earnyourgold]

Yeah that's exactly how John Erneste reacted in that last clip

[@medicinevolutionbodyworkbe2515]

@@earnyourgold it worked for our wrestlers.

[@marywhitehead5422]

You never switch to your butt. You sit to your hip never stopping leaving the only defense to follow or reswitch. In other words you must execute properly or you leave openings for your opponent. I do like the pancake from a lazy switch however. You can pin anyone with a cradle too by the way, it's all about proper execution and drilling. Love the head lever and ball and chain always looking for the pin. The best defense is a great offense. I see the claw can be effective for control.

[@guerrilla1044]

thats why you're supposed to HIT a sit series explosively not sit there and wait for your opponent to run around!

In 1987 I was a lousy wrestler. My cousin, who was all-state, taught me to switch. He said not to expose your back, always control the opponents’ wrap arm, smash it with the pivot side elbow and keep moving. I hit a great switch in my next match, but I was still a lousy wrestler.

[@guerrilla1044]

The Seated Cow Catcher can always destroy a bad sit out. I lost the District Finals my senior year from this move. I was tied 2-2 with a minute left, guy couldn't handle my stand-up, so what did I do? Try to fake him out with a sit out. BONEHEAD! He hooked me under the arm and got a 3-point tilt.

Nice video breakdown of this counter. Other commentators have pointed out the lazy sit out, switch, etc. Frankly, as a coach for some 30 years, I am a bit stunned that high level wrestlers are actually "sitting out". Was taught in college, and teach at my club, to bump back into opponent, with the butt leading (not leaning back with the shoulders). Also, in each of these video examples, the down guy turns out, towards the tight waist...... even with a bad sit out, isn't the rule of thumb to "sit out, turn IN, and stand up"?

[@drdotter]

They were definitely missing the turn AND scissoring their hips. Just basing up would have saved them.

[@littlerunningwolf]

The heavy pressure is a big part of this. All of the wrestlers were putting heavy pressure on the back of their opponent. When you feel the guy on the bottom push back, then you just have to help him by getting out of the way and directing his momentum. Without that pressure, the guy on the bottom will feel it coming, and adjust.
