Catch Wrestling Single leg Counters

Keeping the pressure on is what Catch wrestling is about.So Instead of just defending the single,breaking the grip,
popping his head out etc,you can counterattack.From offensive,you just brought him into a defensive mindset.
here are Three of my favorite counters.

• Option # 1

My partner goes for a high single
• 2

Whizzer His arm.If you yank him forward,he'll counterbalance by putting his weight on his heels
• 3

Use his backward momentum to skip your left foot back.Put your foot in line with his,this will nullify the takedown
• 4

scoop your left hand behind his knee
• 5

Keep a good grip on his knee and straighten your right leg - sit down.
• 6

as soon as you hit the ground,bring your hands together.By keeping a tight grip you can bring him back to his shoulders,gaining a fall.
• 6

If the pin doesn't work or the ruleset dont allow them,you can overstep his right leg with your left foot
• 7

and drop back into a kneebar
• Option #2

From the whizzer,instead of skipping back to scoop the knee,you can post your left hand on the ground
• 2

Shoot your left leg behind his legs
• 3

When you hit the ground,as you reach to scoop inside of his leg,start pulling him to his back with the whizzer
• 4

as he falls roll him towards his shoulders,the counter momentum he will use to come back to base...
• 5

will allow you to trap his leg for the kneebar
• 6

Kneebar
• Option #3 Spladdle

this time from the single,push his head down
• 2

as you push it down ,snake your left hand behind his right knee and hook behind his left leg with your right leg
• 3

Start rolling towards his right leg and grab it with you left hand behind his heel
• 4

Keep rolling towards your back.Keep his head in tight all through the sequence
• 5

once you have reached the ground and rolled to your back,make sure his head his locked in tight.if it should pop out switch to a cradle
• 6

overstep with your left leg (you don't have to,but I prefer having both legs over). Lock the pin or...
• 7

push your hips up for a neck crank.Don't push too high as his head could pop out,but like I mentioned before,if it does,just switch back to a cradle.
