When an opponent attempts a takedown you want your wrestlers to not only stop that attack, but then look to turn that motion into offense. Olympic champion Ben Peterson passes along tips for his favorite counters to double and single leg takedowns. Ben demonstrates and explains seven different counters for two different areas: Controlling opponents' head position and controlling opponents forward motion. Next, Ben shows how to turn the counter into an offensive attack. Ben covers three different offensive counters for when the opponent is on his feet, and six different moves for when the opponent is on his knees.
