Punch in your underhooks and power your opponents around the mat with All-American Mike Letts’s system for winning the takedown. Learn how to get to one of wrestling’s most important control ties and how to move around your opponents with position and leverage, even opponents stronger than you are. The combinations and systems for underhook takedowns can totally change the way you wrestle on the feet. These secrets to getting the most out of every tie-up can be yours on this 4-volume instructional series, Power Underhooks by Mike Letts.
The underhook can be one of wrestling’s most powerful positions if you know how to use it. Mike Letts, an ACC champion, NCAA All-American, 2-time Pennsylvania state champ, and Division-1 head coach at Navy, specializes in throwing in underhooks (with a variety of strong entries) and moving people around until he can set up a takedown. Learn how you can use his tricks and tips to get to people’s legs and start scoring way more from the feet.
In addition to his underhook series, learn the hammerlock top game that Mike used to rack up points in Pennsylvania and at the national Division-1 level. With pinning combinations and tilts to both sides, this is a dynamic system that you can use to blow open matches. Put your opponents in big trouble next time you get on top with a hammerlock, one of wrestling’s signature holds.
In addition to technique, also get into the mind of a champion as Kyle brings you through the strategies he uses (depending on the opponent), and how he reads and tracks an opponent through the match to break them down. Whether it’s improving your sprawl or clearing a control tie before turning it into your points, you’ll know not only what to do but how to think your way through the toughest positions. Give yourself the technical and strategic edge every time you step on the mat with bulletproof defenses.
Attack both sides of the body and use your opponent’s reactions against him with Mike’s varied and technical approach to scoring from the feet. With his control tie in place, you’ll learn all his favorite setups and finishes that he was successful with at the highest levels of folkstyle wrestling. Shoot and score with singles, knee picks, high crotches, and more, and combine them together to unlock your scoring potential from the feet.
