The goal here is to block the strikes, get two underhooks (by putting both arms under the opponent’s arms, and holding the opponent’s midsection or upper body) then circling around to their back and controlling the upper body with an underhook and an overhook. Having someones back is one of the safest/strongest positions in Jiu Jitsu, two underhooks provide a direct path to the back.Â
