4 orientations

  • Class: Orientation
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: Low
  • Strength level: Low

The 4 orientations are the relational positions in which wrestlers orbit eachother attempting to execute a technique.

Flying Mare / Teddy bag heave

  • Class: Heave
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: High
  • Strength level: High

The Flying Mare is named after ‘Pegasus’. The Flying Mare is performed using the ropes, and the Teddy Bag heave is using the sleeve[1], but is the same throw.

Pull over the heel

  • Class: Trip
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: Medium
  • Strength level: Medium

The hitch is taken on the sleeve, much like when performing the Teddy Bag heave. The point of leverage is over the heel, after stretching the leg out as far as possible to the outside of leg of the opponent. The action is very similar to the ‘guruma’ throws in Judo.

Back crook

  • Class: Crook
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: Medium
  • Strength level: Medium

The Back Crook is a staple method of the Devonshire style, and usually one of the first to be taught. In Devon, it is primarily known as the Back Inside-lock.

Fore hip

  • Class: Hip
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: Low
  • Strength level: Low

The Fore hip is one of the most basic techniques to learn. It is a staple method of the Cornish style, and usually one of the first to be taught. This technique is the Westcountry equivalent to the ‘goshi’ throws in Judo.
