WRESTLING HOLDS

Wrestling holds are essential techniques used by wrestlers to gain control over their opponents during a match. These holds allow wrestlers to manipulate their opponents' bodies and limit their movements, making it easier to take them down or score points. Here are some of the most common wrestling holds:

What this article covers:

FULL NELSON

  • Full Nelson Wrestling Move The full nelson is a classic wrestling hold that is applied from behind an opponent. The wrestler wraps both arms around the opponent's neck, then interlocks their hands behind the opponent's head, pulling their head down and back towards their own chest. This hold is used to immobilize an opponent and is often seen as a submission hold.

CHICKEN WING WRESTLING MOVE

  • Chicken Wing Wrestling Move The chicken wing is another hold used to immobilize an opponent. This hold is applied when the wrestler takes their opponent down to the mat, then uses one arm to lock their opponent's arm behind their back. The wrestler then uses their other arm to control their opponent's head, pulling it back towards their own chest. This hold can be used to control an opponent on the mat or set up a pin.

SCISSOR WRESTLING MOVE

  • Scissor Wrestling Move The scissor hold is a technique used to take down an opponent. The wrestler wraps their legs around their opponent's waist, then uses their legs to squeeze their opponent's torso, making it difficult for them to breathe. This hold can be used to wear down an opponent or set up a pin.

HALF NELSON 

  • Half Nelson Wrestling Move The half nelson is a popular hold used to set up a pin. The wrestler applies the hold from behind their opponent, using one arm to wrap around their opponent's neck and under their arm. The wrestler then uses their other arm to control their opponent's other arm, pulling it towards their own chest. This hold can be used to control an opponent on the mat or set up a pin.

TRIANGLE 

  • Triangle Wrestling Move The triangle hold is a submission hold used to force an opponent to tap out. The wrestler wraps their legs around their opponent's neck and arm, then uses their legs to squeeze their opponent's neck and cut off their air supply. This hold can be difficult to escape and is often used by skilled wrestlers to secure a win.
