Hit this move last night at my tournament! He made the first shot to open the round and I finished it with this move! Worked like a charm! :D

[@youngal]

I wish KZbin was around when I was in high school!

[@zanephillips2659]

Every single one of your videos leave me stunned! You have mad skills!

[@jeffreyfox5833]

seems like even if I got a pin from this move, I'd still get yelled at from being on my back for that split second. fun to hit live at practice tho.

[@BrikBeans]

Yeh and if this happens sloppy in any way then u pull it u might lose two if the ref doesn't see what's happening.

[@tomplucknette5941]

Thank you Mr. Kolat! Your short and to the point videos are revolutionary!

[@joshuakehl5891]

Having discovered this video last summer I started drilling the technique for Submission Grappling; I found that it allowed for the mounted guillotine, a neck crank from side control and was a brilliant entry into the “truck” position. Also, I was preferring this over the Kimura trap , a long time favorite attack against wrestlers.

[@richardmann4006]

I was just about to say this seems better for no gi than wrestling.

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

Im here to improve my bjj and ill have to look at some of these option off this. Have you had great success with it?

[@insidethevelvetglove3919]

I am a BJJ BB and think this stuff is awesome, it really is

[@ronaldvandyke1088]

Thank you for these invaluable teaching videos, you are helping develop a generation of great wrestlers!

[@viper1320]

Challenging and yet effective! Great explanation and great execution!

[@KOLATCOM]

Thanks so much!

[@niccosanchez824]

This was called "The Grasshopper" when I wrestled in the 90's. It was a very clever deception. Dangle the lead leg offering it up for the single leg & #BOOM ,pin, match!

[@abrahamtsay1749]

Thanks for showing us this move. Love your videos. Keep it coming.

[@angel-rq4fz]

This technic is ingenious! All of your technics are! Thanks for posting.

[@patrickbarber1890]

Love your videos! Thank you so, so much for taking the time to share your wisdom with us. Really, really appreciate it mate!

[@darrensyavong7698]

This move is great especially for high school wrestling ! They love going for singles .

[@tylersmith8500]

I'm going to practice this all week thank u for ur videos u have helped me this is my first season ever wrestling and I'm 6-1 thanks make more videos☺

[@KOLATCOM]

+Tyler Smith glad to help

[@SlowlyFallingUpwards]

I used to do a similar move, instead of dropping to my side I sat but with my free leg hooking theirs at the the same time with my arm closing the cradle then I rolled him back and I arched or sometimes just rolled along and stayed on top with the cradle or half... however I felt. But this here what you showed makes it look a lot easier hahaha AWESOME!!

[@kennsouza]

THANK YOUU SO MUCH :D im a beginner and ive started practicing this and i like have gotten so many people using it! :D thanks for the vid(:

[@fssacko]

Great technique !

[@KOLATCOM]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@thedon95376]

I hardly comment on videos but you sir show a attention to detail and precision that amazed me I have watched several of your videos and find them more helpful than any wrestling instructional Ive seen yet, I am a submission grappler and these moves are giving me confidence on not only get my +2 for takedown but multiple for the positioning you end up with, keep up the good work coach-James G. Cesar Gracie BJJ

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Kolar is amazing performer and teacher and his videos are some of the best.

[@Legoout]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH THIS REALLY HELPED ME

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

Wow now that is super slick!

[@KOLATCOM]

Just fold him up!

[@MountainDragon612]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I did this move at my scrimmage tonight, and I totally pinned my opponent. Thanks! ^_^

[@youarerightboss]

Thank You, Mr. Kolat.

[@KingKiller5251]

Wrestling my coach today watching this to get ready

[@juajose1974]

Thanks for the video. It helped me when I was tackle by a perp at work. Thanks again from NY.

[@jeffholsinger52]

wow, I feel like a better wrestler from watching 10 of your videos thank you

[@TheBeeftaco]

I do this move all the time in high school, it works extremly well and most people don't know about it. One thing I do differently though is from the front headlock on the right, I sprawl both legs as far left as I can get them then get deep on the knee to lock up. It's a little quicker with less risk

[@lildonis8167]

Thanks

[@hathlete4ever916]

This reminds me so much of a move called the "smal package" in professional wrestling. Classic move and finisher.

[@BWFNY]

BEAST! you have amazing talent, watched some of your matches from 2000, incredible.

[@KOLATCOM]

Thanks

[@heroicplayer5574]

You saved my ass from getting teched i pinned the kid with 7 seconds left thanks

[@mikemccurdy7505]

I know over 30 different variations of cradles this is one of my favorites

[@SkinnyDipper21]

Thx

[@victorbeaubriant4758]

Cary These moves would help me win matches... This is my third year wrestling... This is my senior year... Including the wrestling navy finish which I love more...

[@KOLATCOM]

+victor beaubriant Glad to hear it. Check out even more moves on my website: kolat.com

[@balqisjaan2952]

Superb move .direct fall

[@pintensp95]

good move havent tried it but looked good, ijust have the thought that if you messed up and his head slipped out hed be able to put you on your back. havent tried it so i dont know but seems like a great move to try.

[@andregoncalves5873]

Nice! That seems very useful for BJJ.

[@linopetro]

grazie!!!!

[@kavyashreegaikwad7428]

Super technique

[@paulobananada2487]

youre awesome coach, really good moviments,but simple. congrats wheres yours gym?

[@KOLATCOM]

I'm the wrestling coach at Campbell University in North Carolina.

[@paulobananada2487]

nice coach/thanks for answer. e to train with you as soon I get back around California. thank you

[@ChristianChau]

i cant wait to try this tomorrow at practice...

[@StrumVogel]

Goddamn...these takedowns are so good to do in Nogi Jiu-Jitsu...

[@youngdude4426]

That On is My Favorite Tnxx

[@QuickPhiI]

I love the cradle, in fact it is one my favorite pinning combinations. But from feet? I would use this all the time but I'm afraid my opponent might slip their head out and I could get pinned.

[@Gavin-ov1fo]

I did this at Mawa regionals

[@TacoBearBlaze]

Thank u so much I have a state tournament tommorow and I'm looking for a good move and this it thanks

[@KOLATCOM]

I don't want to crush anyones enthusiasm for learning but I would make sure you have some time to drill it before the event. Good Luck!

[@ihs200]

so thats why my coach told me to put my head inside on a single (and also for pressure for some takedowns)

[@IrishxCarey]

thx

[@Chris-kl6ll]

I actually used this in wrestling and pinned this dude's ass, thanks to this video.😎👍

[@timgoat556]

what a great move. i'm gonna try it

[@Dark_Hart]

Never used in mma that I've seen and that's insane.

[@robossthinking1056]

This looks very cool and is a impressive counterattack. I wanna become way better st wrestling

[@KOLATCOM]

You can do it if you put in the work!

[@awmartian424]

Ty

[@kacycoffield2654]

i like that that could really impress my wrestling coach

[@Br3nd3nmar]

I love using this move to set up for a spladel

[@tannergriffith9239]

Truth it is

[@kartiksabharwal858]

NYC moves Coach saab

[@pablodelsol]

Dear Kolat, This move like all of your moves looks extremely effective but is this a high percentage move or is this a sort of opportunistic move? What would you say to a kid who fell in love with this move? Would you caution them from doing it too often? Thanks!

[@bunkerarchie6881]

Man I wish I knew this in middle school

[@sdzachar]

Great and fast move love it.... im gonna use it in jiu jitsu as well...thanks for posting it though!

[@jakeriggs9202]

You want them to drive forward. It will make them easier to flip because they are adding momentum to their fall.

[@kennymemo33]

Nice move am a use it tomorrow in my wrestling fight from beat the street

[@perezlelito7048]

%••••thank you very much coach••••%

[@DLTD]

Would have loved if my coach taught me that move lol Really makes me want to have kids lol

[@bagadejwellers6707]

you are god of wrestling

[@TheEnriqueblanco1998]

damn that looks effective and could really surprise the opponent

[@tannergriffith9239]

Goal and dreams

[@void5823]

instant subscription...

[@buffneilson]

Wrestlers, this is a great counter move. However, it's very important you don't allow your opponent a single leg just so you can attempt this move. Great wrestlers have great balance and will very likely finish a single leg. That being said, Mr. Kolat is exceptional and his techniques are nothing short of fantastic.

[@TheWarrior816]

@ViperoneAlpha you're definitely right.

[@pranavvats7287]

sir I'm a Indian wrestler your techniques is osm

[@TheWickedclown101]

yes sir

[@farazkashmiri5761]

Sir u r greatest

[@shootajack654]

One of my favorite defenses I used to bait guys with my leg just to hit this

[@brandon_2930]

How long did it take you to perfect this move

[@ghemello6211]

Make sure you got momentum while.doing this

[@IrishxCarey]

Hey Kolat I was wondering if you could tell me what to do when your opponent is running away from you because at my level a lot of people do that to me.

[@kaionunes7162]

nice

[@KOLATCOM]

🙏

[@kilerseven]

So heres a question, would it be a good idea to lock our hands when we go chest to chest?

[@cactusmikesplayground6151]

Do you do any more videos

[@valgorlin]

@antpassalacqua I mean if the move is done right. iff he keeps his head lock on tight its a pretty damn good move. Obviously there is a series here.

[@bignotch44]

I like it!!!!!!!

[@brennanleong]

beautiful

[@ss20ts20]

Hey coach, we have filled out the North Carolina recruit form. What's the best way to set up a visit?

[@tmanifold]

@razaviknows by sacrifice move i just mean a technique which starts with you falling backwards.

[@StevenShoaf]

repediatly tap 6 and 7(: and great move btw ima practice it(:

[@dalby1525]

I wish I could do this without messing yo so I’m scared to try it

[@tannergriffith9239]

It's my dream and goal in life to become a Olympic wrestler

[@jadoc3767]

SMALL PACKAGE!!!

[@codyclark4883]

How do u reverse it

[@buckkelsey8057]

I would probably just to an arm bar chancie if I had his chin instead of risking that move but it cool for practice

[@deepakkiran91]

niceeee .. i like ur videos...... :)

[@josueandres2001]

do you have a cross face cradle vid?

[@KOLATCOM]

+josueandres2001 go here: www.kolat.com/apps/search?q=cross+face+cradle

[@josueandres2001]

+Cary Kolat (KOLAT.COM) thanks. my wrestling coach said you're a champion but I forget for what.

[@TheWarrior816]

@IrishxCarey what you do? look at the ref and and put your hands out like a shrug and go back to wrestle and if they do it for another 5 seconds then look at him again. It's to draw the stalling.

[@JerichoGt]

good =)

[@TheWickedclown101]

yes but just check with your coach because different states vary

[@salvadoorquiroga]

Great vid!!! But is it legal?

[@aidanasuncion4336]

do they have to have a single to do this move?

[@ANKITAnkit-dd8hb]

you can be a great wrestler

[@StillDreZy]

So we had wrestling practice today... and i tried this with a partner. I kinda popped his shoulder. Is this illegal? Im 13 and First time in wrestling.

[@malikmcfarland1556]

How do you get out of a pin

[@keeenanhargrave7021]

get your back off the ground

[@malikmcfarland1556]

Nahhh

[@jehtt1647]

+malik mcfarland bridge and flip

[@niccosanchez824]
