Guys getting "caught"

[Cstroke]

How many times can a guy get “caught” before its not considered getting “caught” anymore?

I'd say each case is different.. For me it was probably a dozen times that I was pinnned.. errrrr I mean caught..

Guys pinned a lot are often nicknamed "lights". 😂

I'm not bright enough to be nicknamed "lights"

I've noticed is alot of times when the higher ranked wrestler "gets caught" they aren't as skilled at fighting off back as someone who's been there before. It's a skill that needs practiced problem is you need a partner that's good enough to put you there.

Had there ever been anyone more elite, while also unable to fight off of his back than Imar? He looked like a shark who when turned over goes into some form of human tonic immobility. It may be a safe bet that he hadn't been put on his back for a half decade before Nolf and Cenzo, maybe ever. He honestly looked like he had no idea what to do both times.

Cenzo and Nolf had a good gameplan against Imar.

My older brother was pretty good in his day but if he was ever put on his back he’d just pin himself. Luckily it didn’t happen too often but him being claustrophobic was debilitating when fighting off his back.

Fighting off my back was the thing I was best at in wrestling, probably because I had so much experience at it, LOL. I wrestled in high school, but was 0.500 at best my senior year. For whatever reason, despite my subpar results, the coach at the college team where I applied for early decision took an interest in me for the wrestling team. When I got to college, I decided that partying was much more to my liking than running in rubber suits and never eating or drinking, so I didn't go out for the team. In my junior year, the team folded because in part, there were apparently several other kids in my class that the coach recruited who also never came out for the team. In my senior year, some of the underclassmen who had come to the school expecting to wrestle restarted the program as a club sport and personally recruited coaches and team members and arranged matches and whatnot, and they needed someone at my walking around weight to fill out a full lineup, so (feeling a little guilty about the program collapsing in the first place) I joined their team, seeing how serious these kids were about it.

The point of this story is that, in my college career, I was winless and I got at least one stalling call in every match, but I was not pinned even once (tech'd once by a guy who was really good and his conference champ...). Several of those matches included very bravely fighting off my back. That is by far the highlight of my college wrestling career.

"Catching guys" is a skill. I spend a bit of time every peactice working on a handful of moves with my kids. Most are easy moves but the skill comes from knowing when to use them. Drilling those situations and feeling those positions everyday makes it second nature. Nice to be able to put away a close match early once in a while and great to have in your back pocket when you are overmatched.
