How to Execute the Referee Position in Wrestling

A wrestling basic position is the referee position. The second period of the match allows the opponent to choose whether he wants a neutral position to begin the period, be on top or bottom or use the referee position. He also has the choice to defer to the other player and choose his position in the third round.

      Understand that the referee position has two players. Each player that executes the wrestling basic, the referee position, has a different position. The bottom player gets into a position on her hands and knees, with her knees on the rear starting line and the back of her hands on the forward one. Her placement is complete.

      Decide to be on top. The player that's on top coordinates his position with the bottom. The wrestling basic position, the referee position, has specific body placement for both players.
