This video features Mike VanArsdale, NCAA Champ & 3X All-American at Iowa State. VanArsdale breaks down two critical weapons in his successful wrestling repertoire – the underhook and foot sweep. In this video he takes you step-by-step through three of his most effective ways to grab an underhook. He then demonstrates three different ways to secure a single leg and three different finishes, including the unique Melvin Douglas Single. He also covers double leg and throw-bys off an underhook. In the second half of the video, VanArsdale calls on his judo training to demonstrate an effective foot sweep technique that, with a little risk, will reap a big reward. VanArsdale shows how to move the opponent and use his weight and motion against him, putting the opponent on his back! VanArsdale demonstrates the move from many different positions on the mat, allowing your wrestler to practice hitting the move regardless of their opponent’s position. Wrestlers will use little energy on this move, yet will score big points by hitting it! VanArsdale includes a number of unique foot sweep drills to help strengthen the timing and motion of the move. The underhook and foot sweep are powerful weapons – see how to make them work for you! 40 minutes. 2002.
