The Duck Under technique was a staple in John Smith's offensive arsenal, helping him to NCAA, World and Olympic titles. He teaches the same technique in the Oklahoma State wrestling room and now shows you the secrets to this highly successful move. The Duck Under is a very effective move that can be used in a variety of situations. Coach Smith teaches seven duck under techniques including from a collar tie, a misdirection duck under, a swim duck, from an opponent's two-on-one, from an over/under tie and more. He does a thorough job of demonstrating the move, teaching it step-by-step from tie-up to finish. This is an easy-to-learn wrestling technique that will give your wrestlers many more options to score.
