Referee Position in Wrestling

Video Transcript

Now we're going to move to the referee's position. And What I just showed you, the neutral (position) right there, that's how you get to the referee position. You always start off in neutral, then you sprawl, then you shoot. Whoever takes it down, you'll get in this position right here, this is the referee's position, and it starts off, you're going to be right here, this is the bottom. I'm going to show you, get on your hands and knees like that, face this way up. I'm going to come over here, right here, elbows, hand to the elbow right here, chin right here, and you're going to bring your right arm, and you're slowly going to bring it right here the left arm, and your slowly going to go like this, and the ref's going to be waiting, and your going to put it right on the belly button. Right there. This is the referee position, right there. His head is going to be up, he's going to be right here, this is the refereeing position. Alright, I'm going to show you, just some basic movements from bottom. Say your in his position where he was on bottom, you get taken down, you try to sprawl and it doesn't work out, you're on bottom. This movement you can practice by yourself, it's called a switch and it's one of the best moves you can get because it's a two point move. Now taking somebody down, if you take them down from neutral, you get two points. That's two points, if you get behind them, two points. That's considered a take down. Okay? And when you're on bottom, you're on bottom and you switch to become on top, whoever is on top is the one who's in power. You want to be on top. So whoever is on top gets two points. If they go from bottom to getting on top. So, we're going to be on bottom and our goal is to get back on top. So we're right here and this is the switch right here. It's about three steps, first step right here is you're going to take this left arm and you?re going to move it to the right of your hand, right here. Then you're going to take your but and your legs and you're going to kick it out like this. Right there, and when you do that, bring your right arm right here, because your wrist is going to be right here. Then you're going to take this right here, you're going to sit back, you're going to take a right arm, reach under their leg, bring it back, and flip them. I'll go over it again. Nice and slow so you can see it. The referee's position, we're on bottom and starting off right here, step one, left arm, sit out, grabs the wrist, reach back, turn, switch. Alright, now we're going to start off, this is a referee?s position right here and I'm going to show you what a switch looks like with you're partner. You're going to be right here, just the same exact thing, you're just doing it with somebody behind you. Alright, so you're going to take right here, see how his left arm is right there, I got to get that off my arm. So I'm going to do that move, right over here, left arm over here, I'm sitting out, grabbing the wrist right here. He's right here, I'm going to grab his left arm right here, I'm going to reach underneath his leg, lean into it like this. See how I'm leaning? I'm leaning in, use the leverage of the arm, come back around like this and you're on top.
