Russian Tie Takedown
Position Details
The Russian tie (two-on-one) takedown uses control of their arm with both hands to off-balance and take them down.
Key Principles
- Secure their arm with both hands - one on wrist, one on tricep
- Pull their arm across your body to break their posture
- Circle behind them using the arm control
- Finish with a takedown or back take
Concepts
- Two-on-One Control: Both hands controlling one arm is powerful
- Arm Across: Pulling their arm across breaks their balance
- Circling Motion: Circle toward their back while controlling
- Chain to Back: Often leads to back take opportunities
