Most people don't realize, the purpose of a Collar Tie is the push with your wrist on their clavicle/trap region. Then when he "puts the breaks on", then you pull. You don't want to just grab a Collar Tie and hold because then his back gets all stiff and it's now impossible to Snap Down. Pasted image 20231027083000.png|360 Source - Ch.

Breaking the Collar Tie Incorrectly
Rotate your shoulder into him but maintain your posture. Do NOT pull away (pictured below) because this compromises your stance. Pasted image 20231027085223.png|360

Another way to break the double collar tie is to

  1. Switch your stance (note: everyone underhooks with the same side as the lead leg)
  2. Push on his lat and pull with your underhook to spin him away (This leaves you with the underhook)
