Escape from an Ankle Lock

There are actually two excellent examples here of how to escape from an Iowa (top man has bottom man's ankle hooked with a leg) or a hand on the far ankle. Both of these moves from the top are very common. Equally common is for the bottom man to have no idea how to get out of this situation. These escapes are very easy to do and are a must for every beginning wrestler to master.

Grambi Roll

This is another more advanced move. I like the grambi series a lot. It catches people off guard and, if they are expecting it, opens up other moves.

Double Overhook with an Inside Trip

This is a more advanced move but I like to throw these in there every now and then.

Standing Front Headlock to Cradle

This is a very cool move. I am a fan of knowing a lot of moves. While you really only need a few moves that you are very good at; knowing a lot of moves gives you more options and keeps your opponent off guard.

Here is a neat way to get a cradle from a standing headlock position.

Simplest Lateral Throw

This is a good move for 5-points. 2 points for a takedown and 3 points for a near fall. There is a lot more technique to this move than is shown here so if you like the Lateral throw, look at some more youtube.com videos on it.

Cael Sanderson on Finishing a Double after the opponent sprawls

So often, I see kids shoot a takedown and then, as soon as the opponent sprawls, they seem to just hand out on the bottom thinking, "Well, that didn't work." There are a lot of takedowns from a double or a single, depending on how the other man responds. It really comes down to two things. (1) Do you know what moves are available to you and (2) Who wants it the most.

The Lateral Drop

This is a 5-point move; 2-point takedown and 3-point near fall. The key is to first concentrate on getting a good over-hook. Secondly, notice how he steps in close.
