The following description exists for REFERENCE. It is NOT intended as INSTRUCTIONAL.

How it is done

When the wrestlers are face to face, the Attacker wraps their arms around the Defender, grasps their arms together behind the Defender's back and pulls the Defender in as tight as possible.

How to escape

The Defender can use their legs against the Attacker and force a release of the hold. If the Defender's arms are free, they can perform a chinpush or (in pro) clap the Attacker's ears to cause a shocking release.
