Pins & Covers
Lateral Press
beginnerpinfundamental
The standard pin — lying across your opponent's chest with your body perpendicular to theirs.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Your opponent is flat on their back
2. Lie across their chest perpendicular
3. Hook the far leg with your arm for leverage
4. Press your weight down through your chest
5. The referee counts to three
6. The opponent kicks out by bridging their hips up
7. Always hook the leg — a cover without hooking the leg is less believable
