5 Basic wrestling techniques for beginners

#2 Penetrating shot

One of the most important moves is to know how to penetrate through your opponent’s defense.

To do this, you must start in a staggered stance, lowering your body towards the mat. Next you should shift your body onto the back foot and move ahead with your lead foot, placing it between your opponent’s legs.

Now, you should press forward with your front foot, bend and land on your front knee. You should try to bring your foot up and plant it firmly on the mat, as you move forward to grab one or both legs of your opponent.
