HALF ROLL
Instructional Video: Half Roll I was never one to dominate from the top position. I had a few moves that worked for me in high school and college and I stuck with them, eventually earning a riding point in three-quarters of my matches in my final season.

It is also one of the rare moves in wrestling that will probably work the first or second time you try it, without constant drilling. If that isn’t the […]
