In The Underhook Advantage, Marsteller breaks down the keys to the underhook, how to get to it with the bump dig, and how to score from it with throw bys, ducks, high singles, snap downs, and far side attacks. This isn't just a takedown course, it's a complete plan for controlling the tie and deciding where the match goes.
Whether you're a folkstyle or freestyle wrestler, or a grappler who wants more reliable takedowns, the underhook serves as a position you can get to again and again, and one that gives you an answer no matter how your opponent reacts.
The system works because every attack sets up the next one. When your opponent defends the throw by, the single is there. When they pull away, you snap them down or attack the far side. You'll learn how to create your own re-attacks instead of waiting for the perfect shot.
