hand fighting
Wrestling for control
Hand fighting is the use of hands and arms to gain position, control, or leverage against an opponent, especially in wrestling, mixed martial arts, and football.
Fighters engage in hand fighting to establish grips, clear an opponent's hands away, or prevent them from securing a hold: He won the exchange through superior hand fighting.
The term emphasizes the tactical battle happening before throws, takedowns, or blocks.
