You can't argue with it. You can outwork it.

The objective? Get out, or get on top.
The keys are PRESSURE and SPACE.

ON THE MAT. YOU'RE ON BOTTOM.

Your opponent has control.

That's why they call it the disadvantage position.

But it's not a place to wait.

The objective? Get out, or get on top.

The keys are PRESSURE and SPACE.

Feel for the pressure. Where is it? On your back? Your hips? Your arms?

Once you recognize it, create space or find space, and use it to escape or reverse their control.

Start with a solid base. You can't move effectively from a broken one.

Escape for one. Reverse for two.

The technique is the tool.

Know your position. Understand your objective. Wrestle with purpose.

On the mat. You're on top. You have control. That's why they call it the advantage position.

The objective? Keep control, and use it.
Control their waist. Keep your weight and pressure on them to break their base. Once their base is weakened, get them to their belly, then turn them to their back.

The technique is the tool. Control is the objective.

Know your position. Understand your objective. Wrestle with purpose.

On your feet. Your opponent is looking to attack, too.

The objective? Defend your position.

Stance, motion, and level changes help you set up your attacks—and defend against theirs.

Know your position. Understand your objective. Wrestle with purpose. — Ruby Redd 🧠

On your feet. No established control.

The objective? Gain control of your opponent.

Know your position. Understand your objective. Wrestle with purpose. -Ruby Redd

When I started wrestling, I wanted to be like the best wrestlers in the sport. I was always thinking: Which techniques should I use? How many moves do I need to learn?

Then it clicked. Wrestling isn't about how many moves you know. It's about knowing what you're trying to accomplish in each position.

Once I understood the objective of each position, I understood the sport I loved on a whole new level.

This week, I'm sharing what I learned to focus on in neutral, top, and bottom.
