Coach Fronhofer teaches the keys to the position, showing the most common way to get into the tie-up. You'll learn why the "high hand" is critical, which grip is the best and proper footwork to create down (pulling) pressure to control your opponent.

Once Fronhofer establishes the proper tie position, he demonstrates a series of shots that can be made from this tie-up. Your wrestlers will see a number of different reactions to a 2-on-1, and Fronhofer gives you options for:
- Single legs shots to the near side - Learn the key to any inside shot - the shoulder slip.
- Far side shots - Learn what to do when the opponent squares up to take away the near leg. Fronhofer gives you three options covering what to do when the opponent grabs your wrist, grabs your elbow or posts to your head. He includes a fireman's technique from this position.

- Out-of-Bounds line - Learn to use the edge of the mat to your advantage. Excellent for freestyle and greco wrestling.
