A counter is a move that responds to your opponent’s attack. Instead of only defending, you turn defense into offense. Timing is the most important part. You wait for their commitment to a move. Then you use their momentum against them. Counters often lead to quick scoring. They require awareness and control. Staying calm helps you see the opening. For example, a wrestler shoots for a single leg. The defender applies a whizzer and spins behind. The referee awards a takedown to the defender. Counters reward smart reactions. Good wrestlers stay ready to respond.
