50/50

Also known as: Fifty-Fifty · 50-50 Guard · Double Outside Ashi

Both players’ legs are entangled symmetrically — each has the same inside position on one of the other’s legs. In the gi it is a sweeping and berimbolo position; in no-gi it is a heel hook shootout where hand-fighting decides who finishes first. Perfectly neutral by definition.
