An underhook is a clinch hold that is used in grappling to control the opponent.^[1] It is performed from any direction by putting an arm under the opponent's arm, and holding the opponent's midsection or upper body.^[2] Having an underhook with one arm is called a single underhook, while having underhooks with both arms is known as double underhooks. The typical response to an underhook is to try to break it, or to establish an overhook.
