What is Russian Tie Entry in BJJ?

Quick Definition

Methods of establishing the Russian tie grip from neutral standing position.

Full Explanation

Russian tie entries are the various methods of establishing the Russian tie (two-on-one) grip from a neutral standing position. Common entries include the snap-to-Russian, the inside tie transition, and the wrist-to-elbow pull. Establishing the Russian tie gives dominant control of one arm and opens up takedown and submission opportunities. Understanding multiple entries makes the Russian tie harder to defend against.
