Two notes on the ankle pick: 1) it's a riskier move, he's putting himself in a position to get hit with the same overtie slide by that he hits, and 2) he uses the pick as an entry to his double leg. Obviously if hve can get the pick, he'll score that way. But a lot of times, the guy reacts and he drives to his double. Really good stuff. This kid is slick.
@@earnyourgold Did this clown actually say he is the fastest man alive? Dude I am 5x faster than this guy. I'm a buck 75 and had Lyme Disease in my brain and I am demonstrably faster than this fool
Bro I’d like to speak on behalf of the entire wrestling community by thanking u so much for putting your time, energy, and expertise into creating this visual breakdowns for us. I would’ve paid big bucks for this content 25 yrs ago and had this channel been available resource to me, back in my days of competition (‘99-‘01) I honestly believe that I would’ve been a 3x State Champ instead of a 1x in SC. It’s amazing how far this sport this has come over the last 25 yrs and I’m proud of our community. It’s guys like you that are creating the new future hammers and I appreciate your efforts bro. Back in my SC highschool days, if you were seeking high-level visual breakdowns like this, it didn’t exist. I yearned for any training resources I could find and back then so I had to personally raise thousands of 💵 to travel 16 hrs to a PA camp like J-Rob. Shout out to any survivors of the ‘99 J-Rob camp out there bc back then, we had very little wrestling training videos available. There were no cell phones to record matches. If you wanted to scout an opponent, you had to travel to see them compete live and hope you could find a rich parent with a camcorder willing to let you borrrow the tape so you could review it later. It was so rare to see any wrestling on TV at that time that asking a coach to breakdown videos like this would’ve been an absolutely crazy request. So we killed ourselves physically bc these training aids were not readily available to avg kid to build mat IQ, slick moves, setups, defenses, and chain wrestling. Viewers please take advantage of this free gold. This would’ve been a cheat code in my days 😂.s Keep up the great work my friend. I can hear your passion throughout these breakdown vids and I really hope you find fulfillment in knowing that you’re elevating the sport by creating much smarter and more versatile wrestlers with your work. I doubt there’s any of my fellow old-time beasts from the ‘99 J-Rob 28-day Intensive Camp (Edinboro, PA) that earned that Black Shirt reading this but if so, big shout outs and holla back at ur boy! #EarnYourGoldMedal 🔥💯🇺🇸💪🏻🏅🤼🏆👏🏼♥️
Thank you man. I feel like I be giving generic thanks, but I really do appreciate you guys' comments. I screenshotted this and sent it to my wife because she was upset I was up til 5am last night doing video stuff for the RUclips channel, but whenever I get in a certain zone or get a certain idea I can't go to sleep until I get it down on paper at least
From NC c/o 99. You couldn't even get your hands on vhs tapes of this stuff. It was like a secret. A college kid came to my school one day, showed me the double lat drop .I Qualified for nationals in greco my soph yr. But i was broke didnt have it. I Didn't even go. And the coaching, i kept his video for like 2 weeks he was pissed. We didn't get none of this coaching
@@earnyourgold Man no reason to apologize for a seemingly “generic thanks”. You’re going to continue to grow so fast that there will soon come a point where you can’t realistically reply to every comment on a personal level. And though we all appreciate the interactions with you, when you’re providing this much value, to this many wrestlers, you’ve already done your part. Just keep up the good work brother and this community will continue ride or die with you. From South Carolina with love & support my guy!
@@cashrules520 Bro you nailed it saying “wrestling videos were a secret” back then. And ur right, there was no DVDs yet, you were the dopest wrestler at the time if you had any wrestling video. In 1998 when I was a HS freshman, I got hands on our SC 4A Dual Finals match against Rock Hill where we upset them. I was told by the coach that I had 1 day to borrow it and I cherished it like gold. To get a copy would just unrealistic at the time and when I “misplaced” it so that I could hang on to it over the weekend, I got in deep s#!+ 🤣
@@VENENOSEASON aced it at a college prep high school…and there’s no basic anatomy-it’s anatomy w/ physiology…it’s not taken across the board, especially w/ only three years of science being mandatory in high school. You’re really not that brilliant my guy
@@VENENOSEASON difference to know something and to execute something you clearly know the human body but you couldn’t execute and use it like he does idiotic comment
The best counter to someone knee dropping is to post on their head (with your trail leg arm of course so they can’t shoot) and they will almost always always wrist roll and as they do you hit a arm drag with your free hand immediately and run your feet for the go behind or if he comes up to a knee latch switch off double. When he grabs your wrist his arm will go wherever you go as he’s locked on to you so you use it against him. I call it a reverse grip wrist roll. John smith uses this technique a lot. He would also drop down to a one knee as well and club with trail leg arm to a head in the basket front head lock. People saying you can just blast through him are ignorant he’s ready for it. Unless you hit a fake to get him to drop to his knees and times the double after as soon as he hits his knees like Burroughs does all the times it won’t work. He’s doing this on purpose and has his looney reacting. He wants you to step in to try and shoot when he hits his knees. If you attempt to bum rush him after he drops He will be in on your leg before you even get a chance
As we seen in last year semi finals the counter to his knee drop is to also knee drop. I feel like this dude has so much potential but when he faces off with someone that does the same thing he never wins the face off
Love the way you broke down this video. One thing I’ve always done against people that wrestle from 1 or 2 knees against me is the minute they drop, I basically bull rush them with a two hand push and drive. The reason being is because it’s hard to retreat on 1-2 knees. I either end up forcing a bad shot to force front headlock or they’re forced to stand back up because they can’t move backwards on 1-2 knees. When coming up with this analysis, did you notice people do this at all to counter this game of wrestling from the knees? Just curious as it’s the only things I’ve ever found in my “research” to negate this style of wrestling.
I've seen that before and I have seen the guy on the ground have to stand back up, but for some reason no one even tried to do it to McGee, so maybe it isn't as safe of an approach at the highest level. I could see him being able to post to a leg attack or move laterally. To be honest, especially on the high school level, I would just keep doing what you're doing unless you notice it no longer working
@@earnyourgold I might need to go back and watch some freestyle matches for guys that wrestle from their knees. Maybe it's more prevalent there because of the push out rules. But I agree, I don't see it a lot at the college level. Maybe the speed and athleticism get to the point where the athletes blast through it and finds way around it but in my case, I've had success using it against a variety of people in different skill and physical attribute ranges,
My old friend went to state wrestling on his knees and when people bum rushed him he would almost always throw a head and arm because of the easy forward momentum.
I'm a noob but front headlock does seem like a better idea than collar tie to a lower opponent in my mind, then maybe go for bulldog? Idk with these light quick weightclasses
You break down these instructional better than anyone on the internet right now. You make it so comprehensive and easy and clear. This channel should be bigger.
Thank you that means a lot. Hardest part is watching every single match I that I can find with the person in it in order to see if I have enough clips to actually make the video/establish a pattern
@@earnyourgold I bet! You do a very good job. Are you a coach of some kind also? I really hope you’re able to take this far. Your ability to dissect wrestling and detect these patterns is excellent.
I used to hit my knees from the tie-up, which opened the door for a lot of options, because they were either extended beyond their center of gravity or trying to stand up straight.
Great video and u explain things perfectly for every level experience in wrestling. Great job!! Gained a fan and a subscriber!! Looking forward to more videos!!
Man this guy is so nice. 🔥 you're doing a great job with these breakdowns. I only have a few friends who do wrestling and I'm glad that they're people like you who bring in appreciation for this sport. You doing great man.
This type of wrestling is like pulling guard for jiu jitsu. Or maybe even rubber guard. You don't engage. You make them engage you and if the ref calls you for stalling, you remind them that you are in the official starting position and your opponent is not
If someone drops to their knees hit him with a two on one. Slows down a speedster and gives you some control. Harder for the guy to hit something slick when you have two on one
Yup. That’s always good advice for the slower, but strong wrestler. Grab a two-on-one. Ridge Lovett was able to slow RBY down with it but RBY adjusted well in his match against Micky Philippi at Nationals and had an answer for it
I’ve been training nogi BJJ and have been attempting to train as much wrestling as possible to supplement it, love watching high level wrestling videos like this.
very good breakdown, thanks for the time and effort. my son is benefiting greatly from your vids, he wrestles highschool and wants to go to the big leagues (college and olympics)
Thank you and that’s cool to hear. If you have any questions let me know. Hopefully I will be posting another video on here today (if not, then tomorrow). I post actively on my Instagram @earnyourgold. Last Sunday I released 3 courses ($29 each, but $14.50 for a 2nd one on an order). Check them out earnyourgoldmedal.teachable.com
My old wrestling coach would agree with you and he was a national HS champ in freestyle wrestling. He always said you want to be the lower man in wrestling. Of course there’s always exceptions in situations, but general rule of thumb in wrestling: If you are the person in a lower stance, you’re gonna be more successful.
Not gone lie I used this style in practice years ago as a cheat code 💯 it’s crazy great minds think alike I wish I was still competing .. big S/o to the brand’s family from Iowa for making me a beast
This is such a useful video! I feel like I am just getting to that level in neutral where I am noticing the intricacies of these techniques in relation to the opponents leg positions. Perfect timing for me.
At 2:20 - 2:27, and the photos in 7:23 he turned it into a trap hook dump, a reference to one of your previous videos. I’m new to wrestling in my junior year so I have much to learn but aligning this with how my school teaches me benefits me a lot!
Match his level and keep at least one arm out in front. This protects your ankles and anything low. His only other option is to drive into you. Don't be tempted to entertain him, let him make the move. Keep your elbows tight and catch everything he throws and/or counter reshoot. He is laying a trap and as soon as you fall in line you're stuck. Daton Fix did that to him last year and he couldn't do anything. He got smoked.
Bro this annoys me so much where was all this amazing info when I needed it 30 years ago lol dope analysis.........man I wish youtibe and stuff was around when I was in high-school at the very least for stuff like this thank you
Ive wrestled my whole life along with all the guys on my dads side of the family.. Myself, my brother, as well as my two cousins all wrestled 4 years in college, i graduated hs in 08 and i knew guys that were doing the this then even guys on my hs team.. he is obviously a very talented wrestler but and i have no idea why i just cant bring myself to "like" the whole whole knee drop thing if that makes sense regardless of the fact that it can clearly work very well for some people
He is a great wrestler. Enjoy your aching knees later in life. But it's great knowing in a fight you'll be able to have them on the ground need be in seconds.
@@earnyourgold You gotta be in it to understand just a small portion of how tough it is. I don't even know what the Big Ten teams go through either. Just starting at the Division One Level is a grind. Getting to the tournament is no joke. Performing? Takes a different kind of animal. That's what makes it so exciting.
I feel like I’ve learned so much from this video. Lost my first varsity match last week, it’s my first year wrestling and I got put there on default because I was the only 100lb. And I couldn’t bring myself to take shots during matches, this actually is a great breakdown Fr
keep learning and apply everything you see in practices, have it in your head that no one in your weight class is working harder than you in the practice room, and you will start seeing the wins rack up, good luck this season.
@@C0NZcsjust placed fourth in my 3rd tournament. I’ve been taking loads of shots and because lots of girls don’t like shooting, it’s been working out well for me! Practicing and actually applying during live practices has really helped me! Thanks for the encouragement
I've never watched wrestling before, but the first thing I noticed is he's incredibly quick. The added counters on top of that quickness have got to be nightmare to deal with in a match.
Two notes on the ankle pick: 1) it's a riskier move, he's putting himself in a position to get hit with the same overtie slide by that he hits, and 2) he uses the pick as an entry to his double leg. Obviously if hve can get the pick, he'll score that way. But a lot of times, the guy reacts and he drives to his double. Really good stuff. This kid is slick.
Good catches. Did you ever see the videos I made about slide-bys when the opponent hits their knee?
@@earnyourgold Yeah I believe so! You used Sebastian Rivera as an example, right?
@@mach7rs yeah Jack Mueller hit him with it like 3 times and he also got taken down with it by Seth Gross
@@earnyourgold that's right! Yeah ankle pick was never my move, that's for sure 🤣

Bro this annoys me so much where was all this amazing info when I needed it 30 years ago lol dope analysis.........man I wish youtibe and stuff was around when I was in high-school at the very least for stuff like this thank you
I wish this channel was around back when I was competing brilliant analysis!
Me too
Ive wrestled my whole life along with all the guys on my dads side of the family.. Myself, my brother, as well as my two cousins all wrestled 4 years in college, i graduated hs in 08 and i knew guys that were doing the this then even guys on my hs team.. he is obviously a very talented wrestler but and i have no idea why i just cant bring myself to "like" the whole whole knee drop thing if that makes sense regardless of the fact that it can clearly work very well for some people
Fantastic work. Look forward to the John Smith video. :)
The ULTIMATE!
Great breakdown. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
He is a great wrestler. Enjoy your aching knees later in life. But it's great knowing in a fight you'll be able to have them on the ground need be in seconds.
great video. I have never Wrestled a day in my life but I learned a lot from the video!
love your videos man
Great breakdown!!
Thank you!
Hell yeah that was an awesome breakdown!
Straight heat. That rider guy is pretty tough too.
Yeah. The fans sometimes forget how good you have to be just to make it to the NCAA tournament in the first place
@@earnyourgold You gotta be in it to understand just a small portion of how tough it is. I don't even know what the Big Ten teams go through either. Just starting at the Division One Level is a grind. Getting to the tournament is no joke. Performing? Takes a different kind of animal. That's what makes it so exciting.
Not sure why the algorithm chose this, but it’s awesome.
Great clips and explanation! Well done.
Thank you
Excellent breakdown
Thank you
Man this is a quality video.
Thank you
This guy a beast MLW can Chisel the 💎. Very good edit.
Just randomly seen this on my fyp and haven’t watched it yet but from just looking at the preview this is the zestiest thing I’ve ever seen😂😂😂
This is the first time I watch wrestling, except from the UFC of course. Your breakdown, made it hella more interesting!! Great job, great content 👍🏾
Thank you
I am lovingly calling it theKapernick Single and Double.
Great work
Thank you
Great video feels like I learned a lot 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Picks ankle circles right. Every time
I feel like I’ve learned so much from this video. Lost my first varsity match last week, it’s my first year wrestling and I got put there on default because I was the only 100lb. And I couldn’t bring myself to take shots during matches, this actually is a great breakdown Fr
keep learning and apply everything you see in practices, have it in your head that no one in your weight class is working harder than you in the practice room, and you will start seeing the wins rack up, good luck this season.
@@C0NZcsjust placed fourth in my 3rd tournament. I’ve been taking loads of shots and because lots of girls don’t like shooting, it’s been working out well for me! Practicing and actually applying during live practices has really helped me! Thanks for the encouragement
I've never watched wrestling before, but the first thing I noticed is he's incredibly quick. The added counters on top of that quickness have got to be nightmare to deal with in a match.
