Wrestling - Leg Grab Defense
Every now and then i find myself on the other end of a leg grab. So heres some strategies to help beat the leg grab.
-If an opponent is standing tall its usually easy to lift or throw them by pushing my grabbed leg into them and manuavering a lift or crafty throw. This is why a good wrestler drops their level when going for a leg.
-Once an opponent gets a grab of my lower leg I cannot depend on it to base myself on the ground. I give the leg to my opponent and instead post the same side hand on the ground.
-Once my base is secure I can work on a turnover or sweep which i find to be the most effective counter to leg grabs. Personally when an opponent gets my legs i like to invert and stand on my hands, jiu jitsu style, and sweep.
-Another option for the higher level guys who can hit hard. When an opponent is leg grabbing it means their arm is lowered which leaves their head and torso open for a potentially dismembering punch.
