Wrestling: Counter a Low Single Leg by Rolling Your Opponent on His Head

Pat Aitken for PE Update.com

1. Top Wrestler Places His Held Leg Over the Opponent’s Head

Here's a counter your wrestler can use if his opponent has shot for the single leg and is still in front, grasping the lower part of the leg.

In this counter, your wrestler turns his body and moves the held leg until it's over the opponent's head.

2. Pushing the Opponent’s Head Down With His Leg, the Top Wrestler Sits Back

He then sits, pushing the opponent's head down and back with his leg. Placing his arms around the opponent's waist, he sits back on his outside hip and rolls the opponent onto his back.
