The body lock is a powerful upper body wrestling hold that allows you to control your opponent and transition to takedowns. Depending upon how your opponent defends the body lock, there are a wide range of ways to finish a takedown once the body lock is secured. In this video, US Olympic wrestler Heath Sims teaches a knee tap finish from the body lock.
