KennyEBHS Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Zain delivered some pain in Turkey with his bow and arrow. I bet none of the international guys have seen or FELT Zain's bow and arrow. He's showing how folkstyle can influence freestyle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threadkilla Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 In the last match, Zain almost had a turk, he had the leg a couple times but the ref stopped him, Zain cranked the head and took him over anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa morales Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Since international refs blow their whistles every 10 seconds for the tiniest things I'm shocked they don't stop him from cranking the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crotalus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Except that a bent leg TURK came from freestyle.Yeah, I learned it as a freestyle move. You can actually roll it through for multiple exposures the way you would a gut or lace. You don't see it that much internationally, though.

Crotalus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Thank you. It appears more people need to watch more freestyle. Dave Schultz popularized the technique in the US.To be fair, the first time it was used against me was in folkstyle (although by a Cadet freestyle national champ). I was not aware that my foot could get that close to my head..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who hasn't seen it in freestyle hasn't watched a lot of Dave. Wasn't there a match where he had someone screaming from it? Makybe Koll? I couldn't find it on YouTube. The late great Morris Johnson had a great story on TheMat.com about Dave putting the hold on him and seeing his own foot so close to his head. Claimed that in the moment he thought it was Schultz foot and said to himself "wow... Dave has the same shoes as me." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerlock3 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 go to 4:30 mark watch the finish for the fall, makes anything zain's done look romantic by comparison. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see that folkstyle move making in an impression in Freestyle! Thank goodness for the PSU influence! I wonder who showed Dave how to do that? Do you think it was Zain? Or maybe Max Dean? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously not about shallow narratives. 1 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Schultz called it a "bent leg turk" btw (what is commonly called a bow and arrow) Zain was attempting the Bent Leg Turk a couple times and the ref waived him off. So he hooked the guy's leg with his leg and cranked his skull. Edited May 13 by Threadkilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously not about shallow narratives. Yes, I would challenge anyone who thinks that is a folkstyle move to find a video of someone hitting it in a folkstyle match that pre-dates Dave Schultz. Good luck! Edited May 13 by Interviewed_at_Weehawken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultz has been mentioned, but John Smith did the bent leg Turk and standing Turk and he was Schultz contemporary. I don't believe either of them invented the move. I've seen it attempted quite often in freestyle, but oftentimes it's flagged as potentially dangerous by the ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
