Spencer Lee is an absolute hammer on top. 

We’ve seen him put up major points from the top position, specifically in the first period (check out Nomad’s scoring breakdown of Spencer). He’s got his top game down to a science. Tilts to bars to the fall (watch the match above to see it in action). 

Now instead of just wallowing in amazement as he turns about 90% of his opponents with this series, we can learn it from the same person who helped Spencer become the dominant force on top that he is.

Young Guns’ Jody Strittmatter, who coached Spencer Lee and once manned the spot that his protege now occupies for the Iowa Hawkeyes, takes us through this series step-by-step.

1. Pick up some back points with the cross wrist tilt.
