It is best for a wrestler to maintain a lower stance with shoulder, knee, toe alignment to ensure their position is not so forward or offset that they are open for attacks from their opponent. Along with this, hands & head defense is essential to make sure that your opponent is blocked from getting to an attack. Having covered these fundamentals, Bajrang’s hands and head defense are solid enough but it is that his stance is offset from pressuring so much that he can often be caught by strong rivals in leg attacks and score on him early and continue to capitalize on his increased pressure he will apply to make up the deficit.

This strategy has been utilized brilliantly by world champions #2 Takuto Otoguro of Japan and #7 Nachyin Kuular of Russia. But to cope with this weakness, Bajrang has developed a strong crotch lock and chest wrap that he uses to get go behinds or redirect his opponents for exposure.
