 Wrestler's cradle
Wrestling has a lot to contribute to grappling. Leg hooks for back controll, no-gi takedowns, effective stance and sprawling, spinning to the back, ect... However, I have never seen the cradle used in grappling. Often my wrestler/grappler friends will end up getting someone in a cradle when they curl into turtle gaurd, and they bring the person over into side control. I think that there may be more submissions and ways of attaining possitional dominance witht he cradle, because it controlls so much of an opponents body and nearly completely stops movement.
