Wrestling Back Flip Video

I've seen quite a few wrestling matches, but nothing that compares to the move this agile wrestler makes. He actually flips over backwards to take his opponent down. It's kind of hard to explain.

Check out the video and let me know if they teach you that in practice!

Dude, did you look at the other thread about this exact video clip?

BTW, this isn't a new move. There's footage of Kolat doing it in the state finals almost 20 years ago and there seems to be at least 4 other kids that have done it this year with video footage.

Sorry if this seems harsh, but I'm one that's not a fan of the move, because some kid with far less ability is going to try it in practice and end up eating through a tube for the rest of his life.

I didn't see the other thread. I tried to search, but it didn't come up.

I don't know if its really even considered a move..more like taking advantage of some outstanding amazing athletic ability

I gotta agree with therick. Although it's spectacular to watch, I'd be afraid of eating mat and would never encourage anyone to try it.

Yea, learning to do it wouldn't be to smart, but seeing someone do it is pretty amazing. There are a lot of reasons not to try it, but props to those who can.
