During his junior and senior year, none of Ben Askren's opponent's wanted to ride him. They chose the lesser of two evils and let him up for fear of getting thrown to their back for a 5-point move by one of his unique escapes. Now, Askren opens his `bag of tricks' and presents a number of creative techniques to add to your bottom position arsenal. He begins with his favorite escapes - the tripod. He details the proper position and demonstrates five different escapes. Askren teaches his elevator escape, which is good against an opponent who wants to chop the arm and also, how to escape from the crab ride, from leg defense, how to escape when the opponent hooks your ankle, plus, how to get away once you get to your feet; instead of a traditional 1-point escape, let Ben Askren show you how to get the fall!

Two-Time NCAA Champion Ben Askren gives you a new perspective on finishing leg attacks. These finishes are effective because they will keep your opponent off balance and stop them from getting to their counters. The techniques he presents work especially well for those wrestlers who don't have that "explosive" burst when attacking, or for those times when you get stopped in the middle of your takedown attempt. He begins by showing you his keys to proper positioning for finishing a takedown. He then covers single leg and high crotch finishes, as well as finishes for when you get stuck underneath on a takedown attempt and techniques versus a sprawl and a crack back. Included are the dump, step and trip, leg high and his original "nerksa" finish! These finishes allow you to score two - or go for the fall.
