This video dives into the mechanics of the "goated" crackdown position, a near-unstoppable technique popularized by Henry Cejudo. Ideal for freestyle wrestling, it emphasizes proper posture (head up, butt down, back straight) and effective use of pressure to control an opponent. Key techniques include threading the arm deeply, rotating the body, controlling at the shin, and executing a scissor split finish with a knee slide. This baseline position provides a strong foundation for various freestyle and collegiate scenarios, helping wrestlers dominate on the mat.
