Outlier Mat Minute: Underhook and Collar Tie Combination

Grips that help you move your opponent are super useful—especially in events like CJI where the walls are angled and controlling the space matters.

• #throwby - You can use the underhook and collar tie to set up throw bys. A strong way to do this is by locking your hands in a pinch headlock first.
