Training background: mechanics-based description
Names the two grips of the arm drag
Wrist-and-tricep drag is a descriptive name for the arm drag — naming the two grips, wrist and tricep, that execute the drag.
Etymology. “Wrist and tricep” specifies where the hands grip to pull the arm across; “drag” names the action. The label foregrounds the grip configuration, where “arm drag” names only the motion.
Mechanics. Pulling the wrist and tricep across redirects the opponent past their own centreline and opens a scramble; the dragger wins it by reconnecting first on the far side, arriving with the higher hips and the structural advantage that the scramble hands to whoever gets behind.
Cross-reference. “Arm drag to back” is a sibling alias. Full mechanical coverage on Arm Drag.
