The Double Touch Rule
The "Double touch rule" is basically what it sounds like, touching something with both arms.
it's a bit more complicated than that but that's about what it comes down to. Here is what you want to do
Grab a joint with both hands, if you haven't gotten a DM by then move your arms in opposing directions.Notes
This doesn't always have to be a grab, after all it is called the double touch rule, but grabbing makes a DM much more likely. You can also just grab close to a joint, you don't have to be exactly on it. When you move your arms in opposing directions it should be a violent, jerking movement if you can. Pecs, elbows, and wrists work best. if you don't get a DM you will almost always get a frac. Also like all thing Related to DM's, this is not guaranteed. since it's not guaranteed perhaps we should just call it "Double Touch".

It's hard to get both hands to grab a joint sice most people use a noobclap opener. If you are able to, this would give you full control of the particular arm, leg, where you have the grab. In a mod like aikido, a dismember would be unlikely (maybe a frac).
It also takes great precision to grab a joint with both hands

Don't Be Racist
Sprawl and general antileg grab before and after the fact
i use sprawls as a counter to shovels and leg grabs. against a single leg grab want to try to grab them on the grabbing arm as close to the shoulder as possible. sit heavy on the back leg. with my free hand i want to strike or lock down limbs. once i've sat down to prevent any lifting shenanigans.
the best place i've found to practice sprawls is against a shovel. against a shovel i want an upper arm grab with a contracted wrist and straight elbow to create a T. twist the hip on the same side a the grab away to give you more space to play around with. once you have your T. let your standard skill set take over.
grab prefferences + reasons
over the top hip grab either side- feels like i can sit heavier and my arm is already stretched out for saves.
underhook to leg. very strong leads to slower games
underhook to body can be used with or without grabs so you can toggle for ghost disruption.
over hook good starting point can be used with or without grabs
TLDR: sprawls are applicable in toribash. not as a finisher but as a control postion

I like sprawls, super effective against shovels and pushes, I will try to explore this more
Also I've been getting into baits recently, they're super effective and usually make games a lot more interesting.
first one is push bait, act like I am going to push, then throw to ground.
next is drop down bait, act like falling, then bounce back up and I go into throwing motion.
