Wrestle-up

A way to come up from guard into a wrestling attack. You sit up, win an underhook or a leg, and drive into them until you finish on top.

Key steps

  1. Sit up from guard with one hand posted on the mat behind you.
  2. Win an underhook or grab one of their legs with your free arm.
  3. Come up onto your knee or feet while you keep your head tight to their body.
  4. Drive forward into them and finish with a single leg or a double leg.

Key details

  • Coming up as they reach in is easier; once their weight settles on you, the angle is gone.
  • Letting your head drop or your hips trail behind gives them a snap down.
