How to counter a lift

---

Although Wrestling techniques are suicidal if there are no safety rules, they are quite common nowadays. Imagine an opponent moving in without any safety precaution and attempting to take you to the ground. If you strike your palm on his head, like what you do when you break bricks, you may kill him.

If you control your strike, he would not acknowledge it, and continue to take you to the ground. But of course we do not want to kill him. Hence you have to know how to stop him taking you to the ground, without breaking his skull, goring his eye or tearing out his throat. Two main take-down techniques in Wrestling are the shoot and the lift. Their counters are shown in the videos here.
