Compound Wrestling

The Low Sweep Double finish 🤼 Step up, pivot the knee, and collapse him straight to the mat.

▪️ Start almost on a single leg — look behind his knee
▪️ Step up, knee pivots — your EAR attacks behind the knee
▪️ Hand on the knee collapses down to your heel, twist + pull
▪️ Don't bend at the waist — drop your butt, drive your ear across
▪️ Pressure legs with your shoulder, hand, AND ear — take the two

Footwork is everything. Train at The Compound 👊

The Schultz Lace 🤼 A loose-lock leg lace off the high crotch — named for the great Dave Schultz. Tip him to his back and rack up points.

▪️ Shoot the high crotch — inside hand wipes across (half at the sock)
▪️ Elevate the foot, drive to the hip, pull the ankle up like a figure-four
▪️ Jump BOTH knees into the "box" you made with his legs
▪️ Elbow on the knee (trapped), palm up on the sock — arm NOT deep
▪️ Head down, butt up, circle under the straight leg to tip him over

Common mistake: don't dive your head and roll — cut across, close shoulder, head up, knees to the box. Train at The Compound 👊

Wrist Roll off the collar tie 🤼 Clear it, misdirect, and hit the backside.

▪️ Collar tie — shrug your shoulders, thumb comes over the top
▪️ Catch the wrist with your thumb, pressure in, and wrist-roll it down
▪️ Step + tap, then shift back to the OPPOSITE side — misdirection
▪️ Make him feel your lean and head position (high-level guys feel it)
▪️ He clears? You're already gone: drag, hop to a low single, or backside attack

Keep your options open and stay a step ahead. Train at The Compound 👊

Pressure Release — the concept 🤼 Pressure with your HEAD, not your hands. Bait the lean, then release into your attack.

▪️ Create pressure with your HEAD in the pocket — between his ear & shoulder blade
▪️ Don't pressure with your hands (he'll chop or post them)
▪️ Your hands can be in ANY tie — the head does the work
▪️ Get in, make him lean/pressure back into you, foot under your chest
▪️ Release = your head drops off his shoulder — matched to your attack window

You're not changing your attacks — you're just adding the head. Train at The Compound 👊

Pressure Release — Release Focus 🤼 The whole thing lives or dies on ONE thing: a quick release.

▪️ Against a good stance, getting to a leg is tough — the release has to be QUICK
▪️ Get a good lean and cover some distance
▪️ Upper body releases as the lower body comes in — one release, ONE action
▪️ Give him the sense of falling, then right as you step: snap the elbows back quick
▪️ Don't lower into him — level change and reach with your lower half and hips

Slow release = no shot. Fast release = you're in on the legs. Train at The Compound 👊

The Elbow Roll to the Duck Under 🤼 Pull the wrist, open your chest, and roll the elbow through the hole.

▪️ Pull down on the wrist, open your chest to roll the elbow
▪️ Get your head AND elbow through the hole — as your head comes up it pops you off the wrist
▪️ From there: lock and take him straight over the top, or knee-skip to finish
▪️ Shift to release the pressure so the elbow slides through, then head-roll to the attack
▪️ He runs away? Backside attack. He shuts the elbow down? Hit the drag

It's the same wrist game as Greco — peel it, don't let him hang on your collar. Train at The Compound 👊

Pressure Release — Footwork Focus 🤼 Keep the feet moving, hold the lean, then step and go.

▪️ Get a good lean — where you're actually holding him UP
▪️ Feet stay moving, like you're marching — find a rhythm
▪️ Pick a side, then step and go
▪️ Split-step off it: right-leg lead into a head-outside OR head-inside attack
▪️ Misdirection = step, shift, then roll-release to the OPPOSITE side

Right footwork + right attack = you're never stretched out. Train at The Compound 👊

Pressure Release — Head Inside 🤼 Release, step up, and shoot straight into the single.

▪️ Struggling to get your head through the hole? Lower your chest — that's why we KNEE SKIP
▪️ Even if you step in low, the knee skip makes everything vertical again = easy finish
▪️ Knee him back to about a 45° angle, find that good spot
▪️ As soon as you release, the BACK foot steps up and you shoot the single (get the sleeve)
▪️ Feet closer? Lean and rocker-step to sweep off the side instead

Two ways out of the same pressure — step up, or step & sweep. Train at The Compound 👊

Pressure Release — Head Outside 🤼 Bait the lean, release, and knee-skip under to the finish.

▪️ Stay straight, FEET FLAT — don't get up on your toes all bent up
▪️ Let him lean and walk into you to about a 45° angle
▪️ Get your head off the center line, find your foot placement
▪️ Release → outside step → back knee skips under to your foot
▪️ Body moves up and down like a hand on a clock — then it's an easy finish

Get this down and you can hit anything off it — single, knee skip, misdirect. Train at The Compound 👊
