Here is the Dake Bomb of the century vs Nolf in the Olympic Team Trials semis. Ankle pick ➡️seat belt single ➡️ builds to feet & switches to bodylock ➡️ steps in, hip extension & swings out Nolf's inside leg w/ his right leg before arching into it. Legendary throw!
Counter offense is such an important & prevalant part of high level wrestling. Here are 48 examples of counter offense from the recent 2022 NCAA Championships (over 20% of them from Penn State guys). Invest in training your re-attacks!

One folkstyle trend I've noticed this year is that offensive wrestlers appear to be better at anticipating & defending against funk rolls from the feet. They treat the counter as a legitimate leg attack, which it is, & sprawl accordingly.
Saw Pat McKee hit this diving ankle pick off an underhook at 2022 NCAA's, and now seeing a Mongolian doing the same thing at 2022 Worlds. Head comes inside & pushes opp's tricep in, fall to hip, underhook hand finds opp's ankle, secure the secondary leg. @NCAAWrestling@wrestling
Spectacular over/under bodylock throw by Peyton Omania. Ducks under opp's collar tie, locks hands in over/under, steps deep towards the back with right leg (which shelves opp's left leg & hoists him off both feet), pops hips & arches + twists opp to his back.

Bryce Andonian obliterates opp's high bodylock w/ a lefty headlock. Opp's drive provides momentum + allows him to set feet. Pivot is violent - BA's head contorts towards his right foot & nearly touches the ground as he wrenches opp's head downward & rotates arm.

Helen Maroulis with an incredible foot sweep to eventual fall to clinch her spot on the US Olympic team. Circles right w/ collar tie & sweeps out opp's left foot as opp tries to square up. Collar tie becomes a cross face as they hit the mat.
Don't reach back, unless you're Jason Morris and ready to launch opps into orbit with a lat whip. Morris is a 2x Olympic/World medalist in judo and a D1 All-American in wrestling and was able to make a lot of judo techniques work without the gi jacket.
