Leg Riding Fundamentals (Works At Every Level) · Iron Faith Wrestling
What it is
Complete leg riding system covering entry timing, positioning fundamentals, and five turn options from legs in.
Why it's great
Most leg riding videos show one or two turns; this walks through the complete decision tree from initial entry through recovery when the opponent stands. The positioning section at 2:06 explains why athletes lose control before they attempt the turn, and the parallel riding mistake at 4:25 is something most coaches miss.
How to use it in practice
Start with the entry timing and positioning fundamentals in the first 6 minutes. Drill the hip whip and cradle as primary options, then add bar half and power half as the athlete's hips get stronger. Use the recovery section at 12:02 to teach athletes how to maintain control when legs get compromised.
