Altho~-l there are many winning
holds in wrestling, Frank Gotch
worlds heavyweight champion, knows
the names of only six of them. The
champion knows how to apply the
locks, but does not know the
terms of one-hfth of the holds which
have resulted in the defeat OF SO
many challengers.
Gotch is known to wrestling as the
original of the toe hold, but h bic
champion says he seldom uses 1t to
throw an opponent. He asserts the
hold is more of a footlock than a toe
hold, and he uses it to trick opponents
into positions where he can clamp on
other deadly holds. His fayorite grip
is a half Nelson and crotch hold. He
claims he beat Mahmout in their last
meeting by use of this grip, and by
the same means beat Zbyszko in 1910
at the coliseum in the second fall of
their match.
II don't believe half the professional
wrestlers know the technical terms Of
half the holds" Gotch said. II thiEk
1 can name about six of the locks, but
there is such a difference of opinion as
to the am OF the holds that I never
have tried to be an authority on the
holds employed by myself or other
wrestlers.
I'm fact, I don't believe some Of the
holds named by experts can be
used for the desired results. 1t takes
a mighty good wrestler to work on an
opponents legs and head at the Same
time. TO say that a man has been
beaten by uset of a footlock and half
Nelson is not reasonable. / have
about as long a reach as any man in
the game, and it is all / can do to use
the crotch and half Nelson effectively.
There are many holds which ever
the novice knows by name. They have
been employed ever since wrestling
became recognized as a sport. I can
call a half Nelson, full Nelson, foot
lock, crotch on either the body or
head. Outside Of these / don't be-
lieve I would be technically correct
in naming the other locks.
'"Wrestlers use different methods in
applying various holds, but the funda-
mental point is leverage. but If he does
not apply his weight and strength on
the proper places and at the right
time. he cannot be termed as a sue
cessful wrestler. I have met q num-
