What Will You Learn?
The underhook and the overhook show up in almost every grappling exchange, and few competitors have turned both into attacks better than Garry Tonon.
Tonon built his reputation on nonstop offense, winning multiple EBI titles, taking a medal at the ADCC World Championship, and training alongside the Danaher Death Squad before moving on to MMA in ONE Championship. Now he's sharing how he uses the two most common upper body ties in grappling in a short, focused Quick Concepts format.
In Quick Concepts: Underhook vs Overhook, Tonon covers both sides of the tie across four volumes. You'll learn the Double Trouble Roll, momentum based Harai Goshi and Uchi Mata, lat scoop juji, triangles and the whizzer toss from the overhook, then nearside scoops, leg engagement, back takes and the V-grip from the underhook. This isn't just a course on two grips, it's a fast, practical map of the upper body ties that decide who wins the scramble.
Whether you're standing side on, stuck in a dog fight, fighting from half guard or locked chest to chest, the underhook and overhook serve as the connection that lets you throw, take the back, enter the legs or finish a submission.
These concepts work because you don't need a perfect setup to use them. Every time your opponent gives you an underhook or an overhook, you'll have a clear next move instead of a stalemate, from the knee shield whizzer and knee lever in half guard to ashi waza, snapdowns and quick underhook counters.
If you've ever wondered why elite grapplers seem to attack from positions where everyone else just holds on, this course shows you how Tonon thinks about each tie.
Learn how to turn the underhook and the overhook into takedowns, back takes and submissions with Garry Tonon.
