Which type of penetration steps number one.which shots, what lead leg. As well as using two leads legs or constantly switching puts you out of position or walks into shots.. it’s not as simple as you’re making it lolIs it worth dedicating the time to develop your penetration step with both the left and right leg lead or should you focus your effort on only improving the leg you lead with?
Let me simplify, should you ever switch stances to take a shot?Which type of penetration steps number one.which shots, what lead leg. As well as using two leads legs or constantly switching puts you out of position or walks into shots.. it’s not as simple as you’re making it lol

It depends.. are you hitting a shift to help your shot ? It’s a lot like boxing actually, you can switch lead legs to set up something or cover distance etc. but switching constantly telegraphs and/or leads you open to attacksLet me simplify, should you ever switch stances to take a shot?
Sorta..Ok, I think I understand what you guys are saying. Stick with your dominant stance and just employ different techniques from that stance depending on your opponents stance. For example if you and your opponent are both left lead then an inside penetration step to a double leg or a head outside single. If you are left lead and your opponent is right lead then your penetration step goes outside his lead leg and you do a head inside single instead of switching your stance so that you could right lead an inside penetration step to the double.
I use knee pulls and outside steps to give both kinds of attacks to each side without switchingIf you can only penetrate with a right leg, you limit yourself only doubles and highcrotch to the right, and singles to the left. Dont listen to some of these guys; its easier than you think. I have first year wrestlers who are 12 who can do it.
How would you do a double leg takedown against a southpaw if you are orthodox?I use knee pulls and outside steps to give both kinds of attacks to each side without switching
I shoot a double and switch to a single or cut back if needed or I go straight blastHow would you do a double leg takedown against a southpaw if you are orthodox?
Op was referencing penetration steps. Of course there are arm drags and head & arms that you can attack to the other side with an opposite side lead, but I was answering his question about penetration steps.I use knee pulls and outside steps to give both kinds of attacks to each side without switching
Oh ok my bad.Op was referencing penetration steps. Of course their are arm drags and head & arms that you can attack to the other side with an opposite side lead, but I was answering his question about penetration steps.
I will say this: I teach knee pull and fake/pull to square them before I ever have them switching leads when I get them in 6th-9th grade. Switching stances and going opposite side is stuff we get into over xmas breakOh ok my bad.
I gotcha, Im using break to expand what I’ve taught them so far but I’m still introducing singles because of my attendance issues being where I’m at. I haven’t even considered taught things to both sides because I have to keep it simple at the momentI will say this: I teach knee pull and fake/pull to square them before I ever have them switching leads when I get them in 6th-9th grade.
