Scissors Hold; a scissors hold is a hold applied to a victim while on the ground to keep them from standing once again and to sap an opponents strength.  There are two main versions of this hold one is the head Scissors hold and one is the Body Scissors. To apply one must wrap their feat around an opponents head or body placing the body or head close to the inner thigh for the most power and then clamping down on the body or head with the rest of your legs trapping them in a crushing vice. This is a squeezing hold and can force a person to pass from lack of air and like most wrestling holds is dangerous even if it’s done right.
