I’m not talking about when driving of course, but when using what is known as the “Seat Belt” in wrestling.

The classic seat belt in wrestling is when both people are facing the same direction and one has an arm behind their waist, the other with an over hook (or whizzer). This is usually a precarious position that is dangerous for both people.

The Reverse Seat Belt is much more beneficial. This is a simple yet effective reversal that you can use when in bottom half guard or side mount and your opponent goes cross body on you. It gives you the option of taking their back or sweeping them.
