Coaches: Training athletes to use the Pull setup
The Level Change is one of the most underrated, yet important, functions in wrestling. Get your athletes to work on level changes combined with numerous set-ups. For instance, Inside Pull-Level Change, and Outside Pull-Level Change. I call the Inside Pull, "Pulldown", which emphasizes the direction of the pull. Also - have your wrestlers work on moving the opponent using their feet and the pull. If they can move their opponent in this manner, they can control them.
Another drill - have the partner give different looks - opponent reaches outside (inside pulldown for the driller), opponent reaches inside and wraps his hand around the arm (outside pull for the driller), opponent reaches inside but blocks the shoulder with his hand (elbow pass/2 on 1, or chop, for the driller). Start each of these techniques one at a time first, so your athlete can get the feel for each technique, before you go to this drill.
The combination of these drills will greatly enhance your wrestler's handfighting and attacking skills when an opponent puts his hands on them.
