Don't Reach Back!!!

Every beginning wrestler is going to reach back and then find himself on his back. This is how it will happen: The new wrestler will be in the bottom position. He will notice his opponent's head (and maybe shoulders) up right next to his own. It will then occur to him that he should reach back and grab what he can and then execute a throw which will put his opponent on his back.

The problem is, the other wrestler is not going to let you do that. In fact, he is probably waiting for you to give it a try. As soon as you do, he's going to drive into you and put on a half...or he will grab whatever you reach back with and not give it back. He'll take your arms or hands or whatever you are offering and use them against you.

Never, reach back!!
