Camp Techniques · Drill 2 of 4
Down Block, No Ties
Your partner attacks, you answer with head and hands. No ties to hide behind.
Kill the shot before it gets to your legs, then get right back to your motion.
Drill 2 · Down Block, No Ties · 1:25 · Partner drill
The Cues
- See the level change early. The shot starts before the shot.
- Feet first. Hips back as your hands come down. The block doesn't
work if your feet stay planted.
- Head and hands to their head and shoulders. Snap, then circle
back to your motion.
Common Mistakes
- Reaching down with your chest instead of moving your feet.
- Blocking and then standing still, admiring the stop instead of getting back to wrestling.
The Standard
A couple of times a week. Everything builds on the stance and motion from Drill 1.
Stay in it the whole time.
