[@AlmightyGlorp]

I feel like I’d try this and just end up pinning myself

[@mirzad19882]

Your timing or your positioning is off. Unless you're not getting enough rotation in the process. As a beginner, Best time to hit a lateral in my opinion is when your opponent is coming up. (Ex: Shot, Far Knee Pick.)

[@DLTD]

Manjot Uppal If you arent tight such as deep inside over hook....it would definitely back fire Part of the truck to this move is you need to have your opponent tense so it’s best set up with an aggressive over hook from the tie up and I’m talking aggressive! Try to break his upper Lims type of tight. Make him get tight himself so you follow with an equally aggressive drive like a fullback would and then it’s all about foot work cuz you gotta place your feet from going a square up tie up to a cross tie up. Sorta like if would wanna knee trip. If you can knee trip then just finish that but they usually wanna square up again and when they do!!!! You do!!!! That’s when you cross hips almost like a head and arm but with the overhook instead!! It’s all the set up . Set the tempo!

[@annabellemoden8653]

Manjot Uppal gahhh I felt that

[@e-8715]

I did pin myself doin it smh

[@mountainintheseamartialart909]

This throw is all about timing and turning. Opponent must be positioned forward and you must turn, turn, turn; until they clear you and you are on top.

[@strongbrave]

99% of athlete's offering tutorials, do so with an opponent that offers no resistance. This wrestling tutorial has an opponent, offering resistance...and the tutor out on the pressure, shows skill, strength and a far more realistic situation. This is outstanding

[@DirtbikerG63]

Yeah this is probably one of the best channels I’ve found on wrestling so far

[@BodyJab295]

The old vibe of the video is cool too, no music, no intro, just straight to the point very clearly.

[@fioree2532]

This exactly! I found out really quick what happens when I replicate what I watch in tutorials that lack resistance. It hurt haha

[@usmanafzal2518]

Just saw it used in a real tournament like a day ago u wrong man

He almost folded him with the shoulder pressure 😅

I hit this move twice in states AAU cadet. Guy faked cried Shoulder was in pain. But he was already on his back. Both times calling injury timeout. I didn't know how to defend leg riding then. I ended up loosing the match 14-15 hurt like hell.

If you still read this, let us know how you did!!!

[@joedillon1806]

Teaching some of my more advanced grade school kids this. They always got stuck on their back if they didn’t follow completely through with the underhook. Love the different perspectives and setups for this move. Great video! Thanks👍🏻

[@AlejandroGtrrz]

I got my lil bro to join wrestling, & I wanna help him out as much as possible & I came across your videos.. I have to say this instructional videos are great, I mean clear, easy to follow, step by step, in slowmotion, very professional!! Thank You!! for your time, effort & love for the sport.. Freaking awesome!!

these videos are pretty cool. well explained and specifically demonstrated.

I use this move every wrestling championship I go to and it always works!

[@divayht]

awesome video thanks !

[@mattlawrence9092]

Great technique. Anytime I've ever hit the lateral drop in competition it's been with my opponent's momentum driving forward usually later in a match.

[@danielcampbell9344]

I was down 6-0, got my nose broke from top at start of second, blew the blood out, coach ran tape around my head, a few lateral drops to near falls and i won. Greatest match i was ever in.

[@KOLATCOM]

A true warrior!

[@Nitecrawlermma]

Been hitting this move consistently in my MMA class lately and wondering what other throws are available from that deep overhook position. Seems like when we clinch up I end up in that over/under position a lot when transitioning and just looking for other options available. Thanks! Btw, awesome vids! Learning a lot!

[@kamesennin178]

Outsanding thanks for sharing such a great move🙏

[@KOLATCOM]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@blazekiller5997]

Thanks for showing me all these non leg takedowns

[@TheWutangmaster]

this is a great move to use in jiujitsu a well, such an advantage to landing in side control with that arm and headlock.

[@brahms209]

Always wanted to learn this

[@JWH956]

notice the arm across the back. Two different positions if the arm of your is up on the shoulder. Kolat is the best thing going on the internet right now. I watch and learn from him and coach against him in the NCAA

[@budpam1]

Kid from my team, 2x IL high school state runner up and NCAA DIV 1 wrestler Jeremy Castro use to use this so much it was his nick name. He even had it as his screen name for Illinois mat men. Personally, I was a fireman's carry thrower.

[@ThatOGDon]

Lateral Drop= my most favorite throw EVER. But I haven't done it in over a year. A bit (lots) rusty. Good to have a refresher course.

[@UnitedAssassinRevolution]

By far my fav throw

[@Cyge240sx]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVE! it can be used in bjj as well and make it to full mount ]the key is having the opponent pressure in if they give you the pressure they are asking to be thrown

[@SwordTune]

I love using submission wrestling against BJJ, but whenever I pressure into them, they just sit down. I don't think I get a lot of lat drop opportunities, but it's still a good one to know, and I love all the small but important details here!

[@KOLATCOM]

Yeah, that can be frustrating not getting the pressure back. But when you run into an aggressive opponent you can let him fly.

[@aaronlewis6476]

thats not a lateral drop. THATS A LATERAL BOMB!!!!!!

[@arielcruz6417]

lmao

[@hunterpang]

[@saltacharcos4048]

Una de las mejores tecnicas.

[@TheGrappler638]

i watch this every time i train...and apply it in training...i used this in grappling matches...works 90% of my attempts...it would only work if you push the guy to the side, hold his hand, put your right foot deep between his feet and bridge up like in jujitsu...no strength needed and his land is not high, no need to carry him, just turn your body...bam!!! tell me if it doesn't work...

[@TheRogueSquid]

I’m 10 years late to the party but this was beautiful and a great manoeuvre

[@mieshatatesfartbox7155]

Makes it look so easy

[@Lou_e_v]

you know why i like his moves? because he always makes it seem like the opponent has the upperhand.and then he takes them by storm

[@jasonvoorhees6416]

He forgot the most important part and I teach this to my son when I work throws with him. YOU MUST POST ARM OUT AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE DROP BEFORE HIS BACK HITS THE MAT!!!!!! I lost 3 of the biggest matches ever back in the 90s after I threw really good guys and would have beaten them with no time left all 3 times but I did not post arm and the rolled right through. It is very very easy to roll through with all the power hitting the mat all they have to do is roll with the momentum.

[@boomidctv6017]

in this vid it seems he's doing the same thing just instead of posting his arm he's pressuring his hips down hard to stop the roll

[@Trepanation21]

To be fair, this is a demonstration of the throw itself, *not* what can be performed from side control.

[@megamurg]

It's fricking Cary Kolat, he's not forgetting anything

[@alleycatufc]

Jason Voorhees look at how hip heavy mr. Kolat is when he hits side control.. it's extremely hard to roll somebody that hip heavy.. he also has a deep under hook preventing him from getting rolled.. posting your hand out does not make sense in this situation.. but if posting your hand works for you then keep doing it

[@jasonvoorhees6416]

OK now that that is taken care of. What can we do about getting those matches back for me?

[@KangarooAthletics]

Great video!! Thank you!!

[@berner]

@@xgusto1235 What was the question though? Unless you meant to put a question mark in your reply. I didn't get too far into wrestling or mma that I wanted to because real life priorities outside my training took me away from it. Maybe if I ever get time to get back into it but I'm 45 now and that's too old to compete.

[@estechiad9640]

Ahh I am much obliged for this video and it is helpful

[@grahamdavis6635]

Helps me a lot when I go live with 240s and I'm 160 , lateral drop gets em a lot when I use it

[@thomasnowak1932]

A big move for me is the bear hug and my coach taught me that if your opponent doesn't straighten his back out enough for you to finish the bear hug, you use a body lock for a lateral drop another he taught was when you set up your over under tie up you take a half shot up in to your opponent, I'm just wondering if your familiar with these techniques

[@matthewbittenbender9191]

One of the most important aspects of the LD is stepping in between your opponent’s feet. If your feet are wrong so will be LD. Pay attention to his footwork as he throws.

[@diang1984]

similar to Uki Waza of judo.

[@weiminn]

No, it's Yoko Guruma.

[@abhishekpatelabhi27]

nice video

[@TyHatfield]

The thing you need to remember is he was talking about pressure and that’s very very important. Another thing is timing sometimes you are not using the timing properly and that’s why you’ll have a hard time even if you have the pressure that you need and if you can work on your timing on different take downs that’s one way to be unstoppable, my dad always taught me said you need one take down one escape and one pin over the years. I’ve learned lots I’ll tell you what…that’s all you need.

[@CheckLeftHookKO]

Cary, your videos are incredibly valuable for advancing wrestlers at all skill levels. Is a lateral drop and hip toss the same thing?

[@KOLATCOM]

No, they are different skills. Lateral Drop uses a partial back arch and turn. Hip Toss uses a back step technique with a pivot to bring your hips through and throw your opponent over your hip. Hip Toss Example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmXbY5aVadJ5Z7s

[@thatdudepskguy78]

So I have a funny story to share, I was showing how to do the lateral drop (Folk style), I had an interested party of 6 high school students who were watching me. The heavyweight wrestler gets up and says, "Matt, can I show you my lateral drop?" (Oh by the way, since I am an alumni I insisted that they just call me Matthew.) The heavyweight did his but crushed me in the process. I am like that's great with a muffled voice because he landed on me!
