BJJ Dictionary- Underhooks and Overhooks

Transcript:
Welcome to the BJJ Dictionary. Today we're learning about Underhooks and Overhooks. Let's get started.
An underhook is when you use your arm to hook your opponents arm, starting from underneath their arm.
This is not to be confused with your hand ending up under their arm. What matters is where the entry happens.
Overhooking is the opposite, where your entry into your hook starts from above your opponents arm, with your
grip ending below their bicep or armpit.
Again, most people confuse the ending hand position for determining whether or not they are over or
underhooking an arm.
A mix of these is used in a ton of positions.
From standing you can get an underhook to win inside position;
Or you can counter an underhook by getting a deep overhook, often-times called a "wizzer"
Side control you get a deep underhook on the far side arm, and overhook their inside arm.
Butterfly guard you get an underhook on the side you need to elevate,
and an overhook on the side you're sweeping towards.
Mount you can actually set up double underhooks to get deep arm isolation to set up submissions.
Hopefully now when your professor asks you to establish an underhook or an overhook, you'll know what they're
asking of you.
Happy training!
