Lock On These Creative And Effective Upper Body Wrestling Systems From Internationally Ranked European Medalist Zoheir El Ouarraque
The ability to shoot from open space requires a certain amount of explosiveness and athleticism, whereas attacking while attached is something EVERY wrestler can do. The European Over/Under System looks to provide a consistent method to getting to a position of control and attacking directly from underhooks, overhooks, and the over/under position.
Zoheir El Ouarraque was a European standout who did what few other top tier wrestlers did at the peak of their career, focus on coaching and helping teammates. Zoheir, commonly referred to as Zo, made his way to the US where he met up with legendary coach John Smith. This unique experience allowed Zo to combine his European credentials with an Elite D-1 wrestling school in Oklahoma State to cultivate a unique outlook on wrestling.
This is where European Over/Under System really shines. The details you learn throughout this 3-part series will make you a much more proficient wrestler with the upper body techniques. You may be thinking that wrestling the upper body requires you to be big and strong, Zo wrestles at 125 pounds. His unique approach to throws from the underhook, overhook, and over/under position applies a small wrestler’s mindset. This means that regardless of your size you will benefit from Zo’s superior knowledge of leverage and find an all-new power to your upper body techniques.
The European Over/Under System isn’t all upper body. Zoheir utilizes BOTH the underhook and overhook to seamlessly transition into High C’s, single legs, and ankle picks. Benefit from the control your underhook generates and enter into takedowns from a more effective range. As an added bonus Zo keeps you safe if your opponent gets an underhook on you by implementing his overhook series.
