and takes a lot of guts. Sean said he learned it this summer
and thought it might give us an edge against Lexington next
week. Let me start by saying that I do not want anyone using
this move unless they feel extremely comfortable with it. It's
called a suplex and you could end up sprawled on your back
with your opponent on top of you if you don't execute it
correctly. Sean, would you like to come and show the move?"
Sean got up and walked to the center of the mat. "Ok,
while you will be doing this move with someone your own
weight, I think it would be best if I taught it using someone
from a lower weight class so we can focus on the mechanics
of the move. It's harder to execute if you have to worry about
hauling weight as well as maneuvering your body correctly.
I'm going to be flipping someone over my body by arching

backwards and we'll both be in the air for a moment, just as a
forewarning. Would anyone like to volunteer to assist me?"
Derek jumped up. "Definitely. I mean if you injure me
I'll...uh...probably not be able to do much about it. But
learning it firsthand will help me to get the mechanics of the
move down."
"All right." Sean moved to the center of the mat,
motioning for Derek to join him. He spoke to the group while
positioning Derek for the demonstration. "This is a move that
happens from the standing position. You won't be able to do it
unless you toggle for just the right arm position, so it's not
something that you can do right off the whistle. What you
want to do is to get outside arm control on both of your
opponents arms. They won't be expecting it since most
moves are executed from inside arm position. However, you
need to be careful, because taking the outside arm position
leaves you vulnerable until you make your move."
Sean started circling with Derek and tussled for arm
position. "The best thing to do is to focus on one arm, and
only grab your opponent's other arm when you're ready.
Keeping your second arm free will allow you to fend off any
offensive moves from your opponent and will keep them
thinking that you are preparing to execute something more
standard. Derek, just wrestle like you normally would, but
don't go for the takedown." Derek complied and continued
circling with Sean, allowing him to maintain outside arm
control of his right arm. Suddenly, faster than Derek could
register, Sean shot his free arm around the outside of Derek's
left arm and squeezed, clamping both of Derek's arms in a

tight grip. He then bent his knees, shoved his hips forward
and up, arching backwards.
He could feel his body being lifted off the mat as Sean
continued arching backwards. Then Sean twisted his body to
the side, pulling roughly on Derek's arm for leverage. The
motion caused Derek to glide through the air so that his back
was facing the mat, while Sean used his body weight and
motion so that he would land on top of him, chest to chest,
on the mat. Once they landed, Sean hooked both of Derek's
legs with his own, tightened his grip on Derek's arms, and
arched his back. Derek was unable to move and his shoulders
were pinned securely to the mat.
Sean let Derek up and was rewarded with a round of
applause and murmurs of approval. "Remember, you could
end up landing flat on your ass...er, I mean butt...sorry
Coach...if you don't do this right. If you don't get your
opponent completely off the ground and if you don't rotate
your body mid-air, you will end up on your back with your
opponent on top of you."
Sean showed the mechanics of the move a few more
times, stopping frequently to explain each hold and giving
particular attention to the moment when he used Derek's
body weight mid-air to begin the turn so that they would both
land properly. When the team began attempting the move,
most of the guys, including Derek, ended up on their backs
each time they tried to throw their partner. A few guys
successfully executed it towards the end of practice. As the
team headed to the locker room, Sean received numerous
claps on the back.
