Noah Hermosillo's Short Offense | Technique Tuesday
Mar 2, 2026
On this week’s Technique Tuesday, 2022 NCAA Division II National Champion Noah Hermosillo breaks down one of the most difficult positions in wrestling: short offense when your opponent controls your elbow.
Instead of accepting a stalemate, Hermosillo shows how to stay dangerous and create scoring opportunities from the front headlock. He covers key positioning details, how to free your elbow when it gets trapped, and multiple ways to attack depending on your opponent’s reaction.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- How to keep your elbow “short” to stay balanced in short offense
- A bounce snap to free a trapped elbow and return to scoring position
- A powerful shuck when your opponent hangs on to your wrist
- How to use a dresser dump when your opponent sits back on their heels
- How to read reactions and choose the right attack from short offense
