How To Do The German Suplex For MMA

The German Suplex is one of the most beautiful and most lethal slams in wrestling. If you manage to execute it during an MMA match, then you might be able to gain momentum or to get a huge score from the judges. Most of the times, a properly executed German Suplex could also knock your opponent right out.

To properly execute a German Suplex, please follow these steps:

1. Grab hold of your opponent from behind using a bear hug clutch. Pull your opponent's back as close as possible to your chest.

2. Duck a little to lower your center of gravity. Make sure that your hips are positioned below your opponent's hips. In order to do this, bend your knees but do not forget to straighten your back. This motion has to be done quickly because at the same time, your opponent will also try to lower his center of gravity as well to make it harder for you to lift him.

3. Snap your hip upward. To do this, straighten your legs quickly and pull your opponent up with the strength of your arms.

4. Keep your back in an arch form while you lean backwards. As you do this, your opponent will struggle in mid-air to cushion the slam.

5. This is the most vital part of the slam because if you fail to do this, you will also slam yourself and feel the impact of the German Suplex. Remember to twist your body sideways as both you and your opponent are driving to the ground with your backs.

6. Slam your opponent to the ground once you have reached the mid-way point of your slam. Gravity will pull your opponent hard. Your opponent could land on his back or on his head. Either way, the German Suplex will seriously hurt him and you are halfway to victory.

Remember, do not attempt to do this move unless you are training with professionals under the guidance of credible mentors. The German Suplex is one of the most dangerous wrestling moves.
