Digging for Inside Control

Wrestlers are constantly fighting to gain the upper ground in the battle
for Inside Control. This battle is called Pummeling. If you lose control
on one side look to dig back with an Underhook on the other side,
never giving ground where your opponent achieves a double
Underhook position.

With the overhook and the head inside - as your opponent steps back you
have room to step and rotate your hips through while also locking your
Underhook into a head and arm secured lock. Step the hips through
pivoting in while pulling downward on the locked head and arm. The
closer you can keep your feet together through the pivot the higher the
pop will be to your opponent as you make the throw.

on the trapped arm. Or use your outside leg to trip out the near
leg as you pop your hips and pull downward on the arm.
