Two on One - Wrestling in Schaumburg, Naperville, Aurora, St. Charles and Merriville - Hobart, IN

Two on one control is when you grab one of your opponent's arms with both of your hands and then pin his arm to your chest. This essentially makes his arm a part of your body, so when you move, he is forced to react to the  a movement. The key to becoming proficient with take downs off two on one control is learning what movements will create the reaction you need to set up a specific take down.

The nice part about the tow on one is that it's a very low-risk control position, which means you can execute your take downs without exposing yourself in the process. However, two on one control isn't as well suited for MMA because both of your hands are tied up, giving your opponent an opportunity to punch you in the face. I feel the under hook is more effective for MMA because you have a free arm at your disposal, which you can use to either throw punches or defend against strikes. The two on one is still important to learn for MMA because you'll sometimes end up there, but it is generally not a control position that you should focus on establishing in a fight.
