The stance is important as it is an attacking stance... So he can strike quickly and effectively defend... He is so low to the ground it is tough to overcome that... Tying up can work but it is hard to stay there..
I remember this video more than 20 years ago.. I learned everything I know from that video and then from the man himself years later.... At Nationals and a movie call One More Shot..
@125riptide your hands are a crucial part of your defense.. that's why he mentions sprawl and hips after head and hands.. lowering your level and stopping/tying up with your hands/head stops their offense, hence why it is the first line of defense as well as your offense. It's equally important to be able to defend once someone bypasses your head and hands, but that is the beauty to wrestling.. It's part of the battle... your post high-c to a fireman might work on those who don't...
i think that there are no absoult rules to it, each persons own wrestling style dictates there def. I teach that your tactical advantage comes from a lower stance than your opponet, and to control there attact arm i.e. wrist or elbow control, then the basics of sprawl wizzer crossface, unless the shot is some how pass that point, then go to your def counter rolls crotch locks and funks. However some wrestlers reley on that for off to much, old saying goes a good off is the best def so shoot 1st
@BF1 My team uses it for offense as well. Our strategy is to aggressively use our foreheads to get you out of position. Some of my 5 year-olds headbutt each other so hard, but they are used to it at this point.
5 lines of defense:
MOTION, head, hands, hips, funk
@7DavidKim Look @ the Russians, head position is the most important aspect of wrestling on your feet.
4 lines of defense:
head, hands, sprawl, hips

buena fundamentacion para aspirantes a instructores de lucha y sobre todo para la formacion de jovenes luchadores
if your hands are extended in front of you you are vulnerable when you defend your head should always be in front

Smith's technique is good only form him, because he is very flexible. only he could do low single leg takedown properly.
