Standard Double Wrist Control

Grab the forward wrist first, then immediately collar tie your opponent, then scoop or shuck their head, and come over the top to establish the figure-four lock.

No—once you lock it, you never let it go. You keep that figure-four on there until you finish it, as this was the bread and butter hold of catch wrestling.

If they try to defend their arm, grab both their hands, drive your hip in, and rip to counter their defense, then reapply the lock and continue walking them down.

The Standard Double Wrist Control positions the attacker's hands on both of the opponent's wrists, gripping firmly to control hand placement and prevent the opponent from establishing offensive grips or defensive frames. The attacker can use push-pull dynamics on the wrists to off-balance the opponent, create openings for level changes, or release one grip to transition into collar ties, underhooks, or arm drags.

Standard double wrist control is a universal clinch technique found across all grappling arts, from traditional Japanese jujutsu to modern MMA hand fighting. Its fundamental nature means it has been independently developed in virtually every combat system.

Double wrist control is used in striking-based martial arts competition (Muay Thai, kickboxing) to neutralise an opponent's offence, and in MMA to prevent punches in the clinch.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Holding both wrists at the same height — stagger them (one high, one low) for better rotational control / Gripping with fingers only — wrap the wrist fully with each hand / Standing square-on while holding both wrists — maintain a staggered stance for balance / Not releasing quickly enough to chain the next action — double wrist is a beat, not a position.
