Barrq Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 As I was watching a middle school match tonight I wondered why is the full nelson so bad I think we need to bring it back.

RobLethal Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Pretty sure that if the full nelson were permitted, we would be hearing a LOT more about serious incidents of neck/spinal injuries.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grecoref Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 you know what ever happened to the ropes at the high school and college level? Wrestling historians will tell you that when the ropes were taken away from the mat area, wrestlers began jumping and climbing the leftover ropes. It's amazing how one innovation led to another.

GrecoCoach Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've got a wrestling instruction book that was written in about 1900 by Farmer Burns (yes, Farmer is his first name). It teaches how to run a full nelson, a.k.a. "double nelson". The names of the moves and the pictures of them are hilarious. The cover has 3 pictures of wrestling moves - 2 of which are highly illegal now - I'm not sure how bones and joints weren't broken all the time back then. My assistant coach once broke the book out for a ref during a JV meet when our guy got called for a full nelson, claiming it was legal as a "double nelson". He and the ref got a good laugh out of it. Side Note: A full nelson is harder to run and less effective than a half. That's why international seniors don't run it even though it is legal.

futureRECORDholder Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It is legal to do a full nelson in freestyle so long as you don't force their chin down into their chest. Or at least I it was back before they changed the rules in 2013 or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
