Clinch/Upper Body Control
General standing grip-fighting engagement: sustained bilateral upper-body contact where both fighters are actively gripping, without commitment to one named tie. Functions as the umbrella category for standing throws — most of the Judo nage-waza catalog (hip throws, shoulder throws, sacrifice throws) is filed here when the specific entry grip isn't distinguished. Parent to the more committed two-hand ties, Double Collar Tie and Double Underhooks, which represent a step further than generic clinch contact.
