So, what exactly is this 'flying squirrel' maneuver?
This move is a hybrid of defense and assault. At that critical moment when your opponent bends down to dive at your legs or tries to pull you to the ground, the aim is to leap over them like a squirrel, grabbing them mid-air and slamming them to the ground. This move went viral worldwide when American wrestler Ellis Coleman executed it during a match in 2011, and it has since been known in the literature as the 'Flying Squirrel.'
The flawless execution of each step in this move is of utmost importance:
Timing: You need to seize the moment when your opponent makes a move and lowers their head.
Leap: The wrestler must jump high enough to clear their opponent.
Grip: While in mid-air, the wrestler locks onto their opponent's neck or torso.
Landing: The wrestler scores by pinning their opponent to the mat using their own weight.
If you fail to nail the timing, you'll be left hanging in the air, giving your opponent the chance to slam you to the ground.
