20 Feb Posted by HS Wrestling in State Rankings | Comments

kedit Principles on the Feet: Principles of Head PositionThe five basic principles of Head Position:

  • Use a solid, low stance with head pressure for set-up and defense
  • Use power penetrations to the center of your opponent for doubles, singles, high-crotches, etc
  • Keep tight side pressure for head outside singles
  • When your head is trapped you must work to keep the hips free and moving.
    • This is essential for low singles/doubles, and countering front headlocks.
  • Where the head goes, the body follows.
    • This is essential when dealing with sag headlocks and for maintain balance in general.
