I like to tap the leg you're not attacking and see if he overreacts and pulls it back which makes the ankle pic that much easier

[@GringoJacinho]

Good idea

[@kuwyjitsu]

Classic trickery lol

[@wasabi5338]

can also work if you want to go for the knee tap too lol

[@deanc8077]

I used an ankle pick when my opponent had a standing whizzer on me. I'd lock down on his shoulder kick back his near leg drop pulling the shoulder down picking the far ankle and then pushing his near shoulder back and away. One of the best defensive takedowns there is.

[@dweroha1]

I've followed Taylor through the years. So happy and proud of his accomplishments, kudos to you Taylor

[@jacobheit3620]

I have done a few grappling styles now my son wants to learn wrestling. This is a great technique, thank you.

[@Hormoz.]

David Taylor is truly amazing

[@anthonypinto9244]

For those who followed DT since freshman year; he was the ankle pick master

[@nickpolizzi5897]

You are correct sir.
I would also venture DT was one of the greatest college 165ers!

[@Suplex479]

Clearly took a lot of inspiration from Cael Sanderson

[@anthonypinto9244]

@@Suplex479he was ankle pick fools long before he got to PSU

[@Suplex479]

@@anthonypinto9244 he doesn't need to train with Cael to take inspiration.

[@anthonypinto9244]

@@Suplex479”ankle pick been one of my best moves since I was a little kid” highly doubt child DT pre2000 internet saw Cael and said I’m doing that too?? Lol simply what just worked for him from a young age

[@RealDuckGamer]

Ankle pic prolly gon be my signature

[@ryanwalker5979]

Thats what they all say, only make a takedown your “signature” when you can count on it in the tightest spots, if you can hit a pick when theres 25 seconds of the third period left than it should not be and just keep it apart of the arsenal

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

then practice it 10,000 times

[@mosshark]

Thanks, Dave.

[@smashleyscott8272]

I prefer this technique to the head control ankle pick over how he used to teach it.

[@Kobethornton1234]

Same

[@lsf7591]

That's the fastest switch off to a double leg I've ever seen...thanks David

[@DavidMccallister65]

Great job. Developing both sides is absolutely imperative. Curling the head is great too in order to prevent him from stepping or jumping out of it. 👍💪🦶

[@fitpresenter2030]

I always thought the ankle pick worked best when you circle away from the leg you're shooting on. Do you have to be David Taylor to make this move work?

[@willymagi9253]

Excellent

[@jeffjeff8562]

The finish depends on the feel the wrestler has on his opponent when doing the ankle pick. It's like Bruce Lee would always say, move like water, go with the flow type thing. When you change levels and grab the ankle, you will feel what the guy is going to do and react based on what he does. So, it's not a choice, it's a feel of what to do next and going with it. That's how I always wrestled.

[@teddavis292]

Good luck in Tokyo David Taylor!!

[@aydansturtevant2243]

I wanna see DT's ankle pick to low single breakdown that he does all the time to the opposite foot

[@Mma-basement-215]

I like to wrestle left foot lead.. I feel like I can get more penetration on my double and I'm able to get to a low single and then come back the opposite way.. I don't know why but it's almost like boxing once I learned how to box Orthodox I started wrestling the same way left foot lead I became much stronger.. and I can get deep run on my shots can you please help me is there any other things I can do to get better as a wrestler going into my junior year.. I want to win a state championship I was 5th in Jersey as a sophomore I have 2 more years to do it.. I started wrestling in 6th grade so this my fifth year everything just clicked 27- 4 on the year I know Im going to hit the gym hard again this year at 6'2 inches I'll go up ta 220 next year

Hi Riles

Thanks a lot! 😉👏

What are those shoes the practice partner is wearing?? They look sick

[@josephscott3827]

Hypersweeps

[@keysersoze5920]

Relentless wrestler.

[@snappiegappie]

Wrestling looks so difficult

[@lumpo9681]

My move is to stfu and listen to the magicman now time for drilling

[@CarsonZahniser]

Why not keep the head and go for a pin?

[@Captains_shanks]

He would do that and put them in a cradle but it’s difficult to pull off against great wrestlers

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

If they something like this in my day (yes I Old) I would have a couple other serious dudes over and drill things like that kids only getting a taste. Because if had not wrestled in jr high or grade school, the coach spends more time teaching wrestlers instead of coaching.

[@winter4953]

your mine

[@Cochise6666]

Psssh I beat Dave ALL the time...
at Call of Duty. At least I think it's David Taylor.

[@mpforeverunlimited]

Not sure I really like this for mma because of knees

[@61kg61]

This isnt meant for mma its wrestling

They suck at wrestling if their head goes up
