tyquhp13 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 This is not a cliche, but it still makes me laugh. While coachig middle school and a new wrestler who had a problem with reaching back while on bottom. After they went out of bounds before they made it back to the line I here the coach say " If I see your armpit one more time while you are on bottom you are ridding home with your mom" Coach Beezy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSHS Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Why does every coach yell "head up!" when their wrestler is in a pinning combination, like after you turn someone with a half nelson? I understand the physics of it, that it's supposed to expand your chest and in theory put more pressure on the bottom guy. However, I know of very few good wrestlers who finish pins with their head high. It's usually the opposite - buried as tight as possible so there's no space or breathing room. Yet every coach in the gym screams "head up!" from that position. I don't understand where, when, or why that started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely pinning situations where looking up and arching your back with hips in helps get the fall. tyquhp13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe being completely on top of the guy in like a grapevine position, then I would agree - hips in and head up. But body perpendicular from a half turn? Not convinced there.

Guys are looking at the shoulders to see if they're pinned and don't focus as much on lifting the head. Looking up brings everything up, including the arm holding the head.

Wings, double wings...if the wrestler is looking at the shoulders, they are likely losing hip pressure. Silence Dogood and piscis1956 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe in some situations the coach may be talking about lifting the opponent’s head up rather than saying his wrestler’s head should be up. Okay, back to cliches.

Okay, back to cliches. Good mix of both for me, lift their head or our head. Side note, this thread had me in my head all day Saturday. I'm still pretty new to the corner, and I say a lot of things in this thread lol. piscis1956 and Silence Dogood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the pinning wrestler's head is on the ground for a nelson, it usually is supporting weight, which takes weight off the opponent. I often yell head up when our wrestler's chin is on their opponent, as this is a reason why the top shoulder stays high. 6 minutes ago, Thor said: Good mix of both for me, lift their head or our head.
