On May 31, 2025, Adam Maslach led a focused Gi Seminar on one of the most essential — yet often overlooked — tools in grappling: the underhook. With his signature attention to detail, Adam broke down how the underhook functions as both an offensive and defensive anchor across multiple positions, including the clinch, guard, and passing scenarios.

Throughout the session, attendees explored how proper underhook mechanics can neutralize pressure, create angles, and lead directly to dominant transitions or submissions. Adam emphasized timing, grip efficiency, and body positioning to make the underhook not just a frame, but a pathway to control.Whether working from half guard or standing engagements, the seminar drove home one clear message: whoever wins the underhook often wins the exchange. Practical, positional drills reinforced the concepts, giving participants actionable tools to take back to their training.

This seminar is now available on RŌL TV.
