The dropkick is one of the most basic weapons in a professional lady wrestler’s arsenal. It is one of the most efficient ways of taking an opponent off her feet, and it is rather spectacular as well.

Taking a few steps to build momentum, the attacker leaps into the air and kicks her opponent with both legs at the same time, putting her entire body-weight behind the kick. Dropkicks will almost always send the victim to the mat or into the ropes, unless the weight difference between the attacker and the defender is too big in favor of the latter.

When a big wrestlerette unleashes a well executed dropkick on a small opponent, it can be quite a devastating move. I’ve seen Reggie Bennett almost dropkicks girls out of their bathing suits, and I think I’ve even seen a KO scored via a dropkick once.

The important thing is that both your feet connect when you execute the move. Watch your landing.

Possible escape:  if your opponent “telegraphs” you the move, you can simply sidestep it letting her fall to the floor and hurt herself.

Efficiency: depending on the weight put behind it and the technique, the dropkick can indeed be a very efficient wrestling move.
