Hi,
We wrestle freestyle in high school in Canada. My aggressive attacking kids often get countered in their hi-c and double attacks with a crotchlift. Although I teach different counters to this counter, I always want a few more. Anyone know of any dvds specifically dealing with this situation? Related topic is a bodylock counter throw.

Hello –

Unfortunately, we don’t offer too many counter-to-a-counter technique DVDs. However, there are a couple that you may want to check out that could help you …

Ben Askren’s Funk Defense from the Feet (WRD-2782): Here, Askren breaks down his three main "funk" techniques from the feet: the Pass, Double Ankles and a move he calls: "The World's Best Unknown Move.” In addition, he provides counters to each move, as well as a defense against each counter. As a bonus he also shares his defensive technique against the High Crotch and Double Leg takedowns. Even though some of his style doesn’t translate well to the freestyle arena, Askren has found some success with these techniques on the international level.
