Arm Spin
|
The wrestler in blue controls an elbow-tie.
|
He steps deeply with his right leg underneath the controlled elbow-tie. At the same time, he throws his right arm high under the elbow tie.
|
He pulls the elbow-tie across his chest, while he rotates his body to look the same direction as his opponent.
|
The spinning rotation of the body is known as a back-step.
|
Look at the height of the arm which was punched underneath the elbow-tie.
|
To take the defender through to his back the attacker then executes a bowing motion as he kneels to the mat.
|
He drives his chest to the mat as he pulls hard on the defender's arm.
|
Here, to increase the force of the rotation the attacker drives his hip to the mat. Be careful not to roll to your back though.
|
As the attacker disappears under his opponent, the momentum carries the defender to his back.
|
All the while the attacker controls the defender's arm with the same elbow-tie he started the move with.
|
To hold the defender for nearfall points, the arm that punched underneath the elbow-tie is then brought across the defender's chest.
|
In Greco-Roman or Freestyle wrestling this takedown would be worth three points.
