Description
On this week's Technique Tuesday, four-time Division I All-American and NCAA finalist Jaydin Eierman shows why he's one of the trickiest wrestlers in the country to score on when you shoot in on his legs. He doesn't just survive the shot. He uses your offense against you and turns it into his own points.
First are two answers to the high crotch: sit the corner, where he keeps your shoulder out of his pocket and works straight to the top, and the head-below-the-knee kick-out, where the side your head is on decides which way his knee goes. Then he gets into the move he was most famous for in college, head-inside single defense to a cradle, and closes with his low single defense to a cradle.
Shoot on his legs and you might end up on your back.
You'll learn:
- Sit the corner vs. the high crotch: keep his shoulder out of your pocket, the spot between your upper thigh and lower waist, and stay off your elbow
- Finishing on top: hand high, hand around the waist, knee up the butt and drive forward
- The head-below-the-knee kick-out: push his head below your knee, read which side it's on, and windshield-wiper your foot free
- Inside single to a cradle: compress him with your knees and hips, trap the head, drive your elbow to the back of his knee and lock it up
- Low single to a cradle: trap his head with the back of your calf, toe flexed to the ceiling, and put your weight into the back of your knee so he can't come up
Make him pay for every shot.
