Outlier Mat Minute: Jaxon Smith (Continuity)

Jaxon Smith is a wrestler who builds his game around one simple position—the right overhook. Everything he does helps him get back to his preferred attacking position.

• Russian Arm
  -He attacks the left arm of his opponent. Watch it here.
  - When it fails, the defender usually takes an underhook—giving Jaxon a right overhook. Study it here

• Go Behinds
  -His slide bys are to his right. Watch it in action.
  -If it doesn’t work, he ends up with a right overhook. See epic ending to the match.

• Right Leg Lead
  When opponents shoot on his lead right leg, he uses his same tools to counter—go behinds and Russian arms—all on that side.
  Counters the shot with a go behind
