Breaking a two on one
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
Left-handed: these steps use the standard right-handed form. Swap every left and right.
- Draw the elbow of the held arm back and down to your own hip.
- Turn your body in towards that arm so you face your partner squarely.
- Take a lapel or sleeve with your free hand as you turn.
- 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.
