hammerlock (arm on his back)


Mr. Kolat,
i just watched your clinic on capturing hand control on the bottom and was unbelievably amazed by how well you described it. thank you. at the end, you said to send a request for a clinic here on the form.

i'm a huge fan of the hammerlock, and know 3 finishes (thread the needle, half tilt (as seen on your "half series") and a cradle) but cannot seem to establish enough control to get them. i watching your senior state finals match i saw you were somewhat of a fan of the hammerlock and was wondering if you could put on a clinic explaining proper control (for the ones that don't know how to attain an hammerlock), and finishes that you have used/have seen used successfully.

thank you for your time, amazing site! even though i have wrestled for 9 years, and my high school career is over, i've learned so much in the short time that i've been a member. one day, i plan to become a high school wrestling coach, and i will definitely use some of the things and key points you teach on kolat.com
