Overhook

In wrestling, an overhook is a clinch hold that is used to control the opponent. It is sometimes incorrectly called a wizard, which is a malapropism of whizzer (when the opponent's armpit and shoulder are lifted with an overhook hold, usually done against leg takedown attacks). An overhook is performed from any direction by putting an arm over the opponent's arm, and encircling the opponent's arm or upper body. Having an overhook with one arm is called a single overhook, while having overhooks with both arms is known as double overhooks. Overhooks are typically employed in response to underhooks by an opponent.
