In this module, we will cover the five modes of entry you can use if you decide you need to engage your enemy with the goal achieving Command control.

Mode One: The Handshake

  1. Using you lead hand, grip your opponent’s right wrist.
  2. Next, come over his forearm with your right hand and Cup Grip his triceps.

Mode Two: The Arm Drag

  1. Using your lead hand, grip your opponent’s right wrist.
  2. Next, come underneath his forearm with your right hand and Hook Grip his triceps.

Mode Three: The Hook Grip or Overlap

This entry technique can be useful if your threat has his hands on his hips.

  1. Bring your left arm underneath his upper arm and Hook Grip the triceps.
  2. Bring your right arm over and overlap your left hand.

Mode Four: The “C-Clamp” Grip

Again, this entry mode can be handy if your opponent has his hands on his hips.

  1. Bring your left hand underneath his arm and Hook Grip his triceps.
  2. Using your right hand, apply a “C-Clamp” grip on his neck.

Mode Five: The Frame

This entry mode works best if your threat is walking toward you.

  1. Using your right hand, Hook Grip the trap muscle.
  2. Make sure that your forearm is resting against his chest. This creates a “frame”.
  3. Bring your left arm underneath and Hook Grip his triceps.

If you practice these entry methods, it brings you a step closer to Command Control.
