THIGH HOLD
1. Thigh hold is an individual skill which can be applied
by any defence player.
2. This skill is a major advantage for defence players,
since the playing system or the position of the anti is
immaterial for applying it.
3. Every team uses the thigh hold technique as a
planned and surprise tactic.
4. With the skill, most raiders are caught not only by
corners and covers; but also by supporting players.
TYPES OF THIGH HOLD
1. THIGH HOLD ON SAME STANCE
(WITHOUT CHANGING POSITION)
(COVERS/CORNERS).
4. Hold/Grip
To hold the better grip, it is suggested
that the grip is made with the elbow,
since this is more firm when compared
to a grip made with palm or wrist. Inner
hand should be placed below the knee
joint to give the better support to the
hold. It is advisable to put a supporting
hand on the ankle from behind to change
the raider’s direction easily.
5. Follow-through action
Lift up: situation
In condition when the raider is not
heavy compared to defender’s body
weight.

thighs and lift the raider up.
Holding at same place: situation

the anti hold the raider at the same place
with firm grip.
