arm drag

An arm drag is a technique in combat sports like wrestling or MMA where a fighter uses their hands and body to move an opponent’s arm out of the way, often to gain a better position or setup for a takedown. By quickly grabbing and pulling the opponent’s arm across their body, the attacker can create an opening to control or unbalance them. It relies on timing and leverage and is useful for redirecting an opponent’s movement without direct force, enabling smoother transitions into offensive moves.
