Editing Pankration (section)

====Heave from a waist lock from behind====
The athlete passes to the back of his opponent, secures a regular waist lock, lifts and throws/drops the opponent backwards and sideways. As a result of these moves, the opponent would tend to land on his side or face down. The athlete can follow the opponent to the ground and place himself on his back, where he could strike him or choke him from behind while holding him in the "grapevine" body lock (see above), stretching him face down on the ground. This technique is described by the Roman poet [[Statius]] in his account of a match between the hero Tydeus of Thebes and an opponent in the [[Thebaid]]. [[Tydeus]] is described to have followed this takedown with a choke while applying the "grapevine" body lock on the prone opponent.<ref name = "Pankration - An Olympic Combat Sport" />
