Wrestling Terminology

Wrestling moves include a tremendous array of variation. The moves upon which these variations are based, are generally basic in nature. Combining moves can also be performed, using word elements to describe what kind of actions (movements) a move involves:

Holds:

  • Crab: Typically starts with one wrestler lying in a supine position on the mat, with the other wrestler standing and facing him. It is a type of spinal lock where the wrestler hooks each of the opponent’s legs in one of his arms, and then turns the opponent face-down, stepping over him in the process. The final position has the wrestler in a semi-sitting position and facing away from his opponent, with the opponent’s back and legs bent back toward his head.
  • Nelson: Grappling hold, executed from behind the opponent, generally when both are on the mat face down with the opponent under the aggressor. One or both arms are used to encircle the opponent's arm under the armpit, and secured at the opponent's neck.
  • Pin: A victory condition that is met by holding an opponent's shoulders or scapulae (shoulder blades) on the wrestling mat for a prescribed period of time.
  • Sharpshooter: Begins with the opponent supine on the mat with the applying wrestler stepping between the opponent's legs with their left leg and wraps the opponent's legs at shin level around that leg. If the applier decides to cross the opponent's legs around his right leg, he has to cross the opponent's right leg over their left, or, otherwise, he has to cross his opponent's left leg over their right. Holding the opponent's legs in place, the wrestler then grabs the opponent's leg which he has crossed over the other and steps over him, flipping him over into a prone position before leaning back to compress his lower back. Also known by several other names including cloverleaf leg-lace Boston crab, standing reverse figure-four leglock, and Scorpion Deathlock.

Throws:

  • Backbreaker: Performed by dropping an opponent so that the opponent's back impacts or is bent backwards against a part of the wrestler's body, usually the knee. The standard version of the move sees the wrestling scoop their opponent horizontally before dropping to one knee, slamming the opponent's back on their other knee.
  • Brainbuster: Performed by putting the opponent in a front facelock, hooking their pants or thigh, and lifting them up as if executing a vertical suplex. The wrestler then falls onto their back so that the opponent lands on his head while remaining vertical. This move is a version of the DDT.
