I have a question about the overhook known as the whizzer. Does anybody here have extensive wrestling experience? I think there must be many fine details that average wrestlers never learned. Kind of like the triangle choke. There are probably 15 different triangle chokes, each one set up differently, and finished differently. Everything down to the specific grip you use.

Im just a judo bum but I like the whizzer a lot. I love uchimata from there and when I was younger I really liked fireman carries from there too

i dont know how you did LOL
THANK YOU!!! I had a student who wrestled for Cornell and he was one of the toughest guys who ever joined my gym. He would whizzer me and he didn’t have a major overhook, he ragdolled me with his fist barely hooked in my armpit. Never seen anything like it. Was his shallow whizzer purposely just his fist and wrist in my armpit? Wouldn’t you want your arm as deep as possible?
Hell yea!!!
My trying to talk technique would make me a bigger nerd than most here…
I will say the whizzer is mostly a defensive/bail out move in wrestling…
I can only think of one wrestler who has used the whizzer consistently as an offensive move… he did AA the covid year…

I used to like to stuff takedowns with a whizzer then knee the guy in the face a whole bunch when I could get my balance depending on whether I had the leg back or not. Even if you miss the face you hit the shoulder or sternum and that was equally effective. Topside cross face with the forearm on the oppo arm to make them push into the impact.

I remember years ago the younger meathead did a sebolt camp…
I love TJ… we are not friends or anything but we used to be around each other quite a bit… he is the epitome of tough Iowa style and I respect the shit out of him…
Anyway…
During this camp he was showing how he stays square and sprawls stuff the head and work for the go behind…
The comment that sticks with me was something to to the tune of “we aren’t doing this whizzer pussy shit”
FWIW

Lol!!! In jiu jitsu the whizzer is maybe one of the most important moves. Without it you will have people taking your back!
Used this or similar quite a bit but mostly if could tell the other person did not wrestle. If person had hips and balance used to cross face from similar set up.
