Bridge (grappling)
Grappling move
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bridge is a grappling move performed from a supine position (lying down, face-up).[1] It involves lifting the pelvis off the ground so that the body weight is supported on the shoulders (or head) at one end and on the feet at the other.[2] This move is used in wrestling and other grappling and groundfighting sports, often combined with a twisting motion, to dislodge or flip an opponent who has established a position on top.[3] The bridge is also a common exercise position. This maneuver can also be used to avoid pin attempts in wrestling.
In Brazilian jiu-jitsu, this move is referred to as an upa, and is commonly used in attempting to dislodge an opponent in mounted position.[4]
