The second Hammerlock is a double bar hammerlock on the ground. You are over your opponent's back on the opposite side. When applying this hold to your opponent's right arm, you use your left arm to control the arm and your right arm is positioned under your opponent's forearm grasping behind the tricep. This creates a bar. The wrist can also be bent over the arm to create the double bar. Both of these Hammerlocks are very painful and effective. The Hammerlock is used in professional wrestling and other grappling situations, and is useful in self defense.
