What does 'advantage position' mean in wrestling?

In wrestling, 'advantage position' refers to a scenario where a wrestler has a strategic or positional superiority over their opponent. This can mean being able to control the opponent, applying effective pressure, or having the opportunity to execute a move without being at risk themselves. Such a position often results in a greater chance of scoring points or transitioning into a more favorable hold.

Having the upper hand can manifest in different ways, such as being behind an opponent and having the ability to apply pressure or leverage, or dominating a clinch situation. Thus, the core of the term 'advantage position' is linked to the overall control and dominance one wrestler has over another during the dynamic exchanges characteristic of the sport.
