How to Take Shots Like a College Wrestler (Tips for Faster Shots)

Man the highschool shot was strangely extended

[@camdenherron8894]

That is one thing I noticed. Something i want to say is you shouldn’t lean

[@mac212]

As someone who wrestled in college, keep your elbows in! No hate just something I noticed.

[@isaacgomez69]

bad habits die hard... lol thanks I noticed it during the editing but hoped nobody would say anything

[@dasaint_lydia]

Could you explain what you meant by keep your elbows in? Seeking help!

[@willvela3898]

Lul YanginTV you’re stronger with the arms in than you are with your arms out, that’s what a coach told me

[@moonlite6598]

@@dasaint_lydia when you keep your arms in your stronger and your arms are less likely to get caught, to do it u keep your elbows close and tight to your rib cage

[@jaydareaper728]

Mac if your elbows are not tucked you can get cot

[@Scandium45]

I'm a freshman in high school, wrestling varsity and I always end up reaching for the legs instead of committing, hope watching your explain this helps me in my tournament tomorrow :)

[@aplu5239]

you gotta make sure you set up a shot, I sometimes struggle with the same thing, if you can set up a shot well, you'll have a significantly better chance at getting that leg. Also, if you look upwards or forward when you shoot, it'll help a lot too.

[@kaikwondo3183]

I’m seeing this comment a week after you posted it how did the tournament go?

[@Punkboy178]

Aplu5 when u go for a shot do u fully extend your arms for there legs?

[@aplu5239]

YoungZan Boi yes and no, why I do is I extend about 70-90% but I shoot straight on, you don’t want to shoot any wider than you have to because then they can catch your arms in a cow catcher

[@Punkboy178]

Aplu5 thnx

[@best4businesswrestling]

even if u fail a shot.... just keep running that bih

In highschool we were ranked 4 in state, sent 3 guys and a bunch won regionals. We drilled like a top tier team and our takedown practice was extensive. The best defense in wrestling is a good offense. Like you said in another video you're always pressing forward never retreating back

[@hasanagic96]

am a striker workin on my grappling for the past year, i could never get a double, also with me being 6ft3 and lanky made it more mind boggling as to how was i supposed to get into my opponents legs. i could get there with some timing in mma sparring but id just get sprawled on. This tip... man.. to get up dart from my back leg and step hard on the ball of my foot while smashing in their hips made me have some very nice success for a beginner. especially if i mix in my strikes... this way is a game changer.

My son who started wrestling loves it and wants to get to the top! I want to help him and get involved by asking you two questions, since you have a lot of experience 1. what would be the most important things that make the difference between an average athlete and an outstanding one? 2. what should we focus on in the beginning, more to create a solid base? Thank you very much!

[@lucasperez5890]

i know i’m very late but a good start for your son would be to have him practice stance and motion every day and very often, as well as hand control and takedowns/takedown defense only after he’s got a good base with hand fighting and stance of motion

I like the tip with bringing the heel to the butt and pushing with the back leg. Different approach from taking a pen step then pushing from the rear leg. Will def experiment with this!

[@fantasychampionshipwrestli3003]

I’m a good shooter, I really am, the issue I have is I’ve never done it at a meet, because as someone who use to relay on Defense, I always thought someone would sprawl. I just won States 18-0, only one match not being a first period pin, and I never shot once. The issue I have is not being comfortable taking the shot, instead I work off the head

I usually tie up then drop the tie up when I feel my opponents force on me drop and drive

[@jameswietz5575]

I am one of the better wrestlers on my team and my coach wrestled in collage and he said instead of driving at a 45 degree angle on a double leg just take a double leg shot and go straight forward should I do that

[@coolasice7493]

James wietz no I wouldn’t because once you get on the higher level of wrestling the better kids will body lock you and use your straight forward momentum. I personally suggest cutting the corner. But you do what ever works best and listen to your coach .

[@ray.n_l]

Nah. You aren't always gonna get the blast double. Every good wrestler always says to get an angle on your opponent

Why not before the shot, close the distance between your lead and rear leg by doing the sugarfoot so you can generate real power with the rear leg to take a step with your lead leg and THEN going knee over toe?

[@dougtube9870]

Great video. You continue to put out quality stuff. Thanks. I don’t quite see the point of drilling to your knee first and then switching to your foot. Seems like it’d be better to just start drilling the foot. To the knee would appear to reinforce the behavior that you’re trying to correct.

[@gangweed6544]

The most important part of a shot is level changing and getting a deep penetration step, so that you are close enough to your opponent to get the takedown. If you don't drop to your knee, they can back away from a shot with ease, as you aren't coming up into them with any force. Also, this video is not accurate, and the way he is going in with his arms outstretched, leaning forward is just horrible

[@gangweed6544]

Throughout this whole video, you overextended yourself too much with every single shot, anyone who can get their hips back and has a good sprawl would shove your face into the mat if you did that. The best way to shoot is to keep your knee and chest in line, change levels, take a deep penetration step, and drive into your opponent. Also, when you pick your foot up to your butt while shooting, you are opening yourself up for all kinds of attacks such as singles and ankle picks to your other leg. This video is all wrong. I'm not trying to hate, but this is not something you should be teaching wrestlers at any level.

[@tykrwn6083]

Goat Gang that’s what I’m thinking, literally just diving at their legs ain’t a shot. Y’all doing it all wrong.

[@Kobethornton1234]

Blast double??

[@MrTooEarnestOnline]

I literally have the same thoughts, but I don’t want to say anything bc I didn’t wrestle in college. I do wrestle now though. At my mma gym.

[@isaacgomez69]

i understand where you're coming from, but this shot is so much faster than a standard shot, IMO its worth it. i have a torn deltoid and sub deltoid so it hurts to bring my elbows in. if anyone starts sprawling before im behind a knee i don't get flattened out because circling is the direct defense to a sprawl. im telling you from experience if you do this right you will be able to get in on the fastest people with a proper set up. if i am over extended its for such a small point the benefits of the speed gained overcome the negatives. obviously if you arent athletic enough to make this faster than a standard shot dont do it. but for most higher level athletes this is big.
