double underarm grip (sumo)
A sumo technique where a wrestler reaches under both of the opponent's arms to grip the back of the mawashi, preventing the opponent from grabbing the belt. Highly advantageous offensive position.
The yokozuna aimed for a double underarm grip from the initial charge.
Once he got the double underarm grip, his opponent lost any means of attack.
Mixed kana-kanji spelling that clearly shows the reading and meaning; common in sumo contexts.
Kanji spelling using 両 (both); natural for the meaning but less common than the mixed form.
Alternate kanji spelling using 双 (pair); seen occasionally but not standard.
Irregular kanji usage; 諸 normally reads しょ or もろ (as in 諸手) but this spelling is non-standard.
Compound of もろ (both) and 差し (from 差す, to insert/put in). The kanji spellings 両, 双, and 諸 all convey the idea of 'both' or 'together'.
