In this week's mini-episode, we discuss how the torso and levers become **points of control.** With **torso control,** we clamp or hook onto our opponent's torso so we can hold them in position or rotate around them. With **lever control,** we use our opponent's arms, legs, and/or head to create leverage. Attacking a **single lever** usually affords more force, whereas attacking **multiple levers** simultaneously usually affords more control.
