Breaking a two on one
=====================

Kumi-kata (gripping)

Both of your partner's hands on one of your arms leaves you a free hand and them none. Pulling the held elbow back to your hip shortens their lever and turning in towards the held arm faces them again; the free hand takes a grip as you turn, and the major inner reap or the shoulder throw follows while they still have two hands on one arm.

Key points
----------
- Pull the held elbow back to your hip
- Turn in towards the held arm to face them
- The free hand grips as you turn, and the attack follows

Step by step
------------
1. Draw the elbow of the held arm back and down to your own hip.
2. Turn your body in towards that arm so you face your partner squarely.
3. Take a lapel or sleeve with your free hand as you turn.
4. Attack while both of their hands are still on one arm.

From the other side
-------------------
The held elbow pulling back to their hip and their body turning to face you takes the angle out of your two on one. Let one hand go and take a second grip before they attack, or you have two hands on one arm and nothing else.

VI judo notes
-------------
Two hands on one of your arms is a clear feeling and so is the answer: pull that elbow to your hip and turn towards it. Your free hand finds their collar as you come round.
