    YKW I'm not saying that you cannot pull things off from an overhook position. But in no gi grappling I feel much much safer and in more control with double under hooks. You can show vids all day of over hook throws, they work in the right situations, but wrestling is about control of the center. If you gain the double Under, you gain access to the legs, balance, and their mobility. everyone to there own, but you'll never convince me that a double overhook trumps a double under.

    I have no intention to change anybody's opinion.

    I may use this thread as a pre advertisement for my up coming book "Head Lock" where overhook is used quite often. Later on, I may write a book "Single Leg" that underhook will be used quite often. If I say that one can use overhook to counter underhook, later on if I also say that one can use underhook to counter overhook, I may just get myself into the old Chinese spear and shield paradox.

    In the story, a man was trying to sell a spear and a shield. When asked how good his spear was, he said that his spear could pierce any shield. Then, when asked how good his shield was, he said that it could defend from all spear attacks. Then one person asked him what would happen if he were to take his spear to strike his shield; the seller could not answer. This led to the idiom of "zìxīang máodùn" (自相矛盾), or "self-contradictory".

    Less opinion -> less argument
