31. Ulna Press Takedown From A Two Hand on One Wrist Grab

Your opponent grabs your right wrist with both of his hands. It should be noted that while both of your opponent's hands are busy holding your right wrist, your left hand is still free.

Begin by moving your right foot forward into a defensive stance, dropping your center of gravity and bringing your right elbow in toward your body. This movement will off-balance your opponent forward by taking the "slack" out of his hands and at the same time maintain your strong balanced position. By taking the "slack" out of his hands, you will in effect, reduce your opponent's strength, weakening the hold. (1) Circle your right hand in a clockwise motion bringing your palm up. (2) Circle your right palm downward and grasp your opponent's right wrist and pull his arm tightly across your lap. (3) Grasp the back of your opponent's right wrist with your right hand so that your right thumb is on top. Make sure that you point your opponent's fingertips forward (in the same direction you are presently facing. Make sure that your opponent's right shoulder is at a lower level then his right hand, otherwise, he might be able to stand up and resist you. (4) Apply pressure downward on your opponent's right shoulder and toward his head in a corkscrew-type motion causing him to go face down into the floor.

32. Ulna Press Takedown From A Double Wrist Grab

Your opponent grabs your left wrist with his right hand and your right wrist with left hand. This is the reason that this hold is called a double wrist grab.

Begin by moving your right foot forward into a defensive stance, dropping your center of gravity and bringing your right elbow in toward your body. This movement will off-balance your opponent forward by taking the "slack" out of his hands and at the same time maintain your strong balanced position. By taking the "slack" out of his hands, you will in effect, reduce your opponent's strength, weakening the hold. (1) In order to further take the strength out of your opponent's left hand, extend his hand forward toward you, then bend your right hand in an upward direction so that the '"C" of your hand (the curvature between your right thumb and index finger) catches your opponent's left wrist from underneath. (2) With your left hand, reach over your opponent's hand and grasp the chop of his left hand with your left hand placing your left thumb on the top of his hand. Twist your opponent's left hand in a counter-clockwise motion as you step forward and across in front of him and then bring his hand across your lap causing him to bend over forward. Keep his finger tips facing forward, the direction you are presenty facing. (3) Once your opponent is bent forward, twist his left hand so that his left shoulder is at a lower level then his left wrist. Slide your right hand down toward your opponent's left shoulder controlling both his shoulder and his wrist. Drive your body weight downward and toward your opponent's head in a corkscrew-type of motion and drive your opponent down to the ground onto his face.
