Bridge (grappling)

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 dodge pin attempts.
