The arm drag is one of the most basic wrestling movements to take the back from standing. Three simple movements and you will be on the opponent’s back in no time. But, it is also quite simple to defend. Often, you will see people simply tuck their elbow quickly back as they step away to keep their back safe.

We all know this counter intuitively, but there is almost always a counter to the counter. In this case, we have two! The first, is to go into a far knee pick. The pulling back of the far side of their body exposes the near leg, and we can capitalize on that with a clean knee pick. The second, is to go for a snatch single leg by pushing their far side even further away.

The Snatch Single is a great take down for people who don’t like to expose themselves to risk. Dropping to your knees can be dangerous, as you expose your head to chokes, head locks, and strikes that can end you.

The Snatch Single avoids all that by keeping you on your feet and simply “snatching” your opponent’s leg off the ground. As I have gotten older, this has become more favorable for me and my chitty chitty bang bang knees, lol!

The Under hook comes in really handy for this setup, as you will already be under your opponent’s arms – which is the major obstacle in all shots. Check it out!
