This is typically taught in judo and jiu jitsu as those are the most common "grappling" arts, although it can be applied to any art where ground work (fighting while not standing) is needed. This can be a very effective maneuver if done properly. The following steps will help give a general understanding of the concept and method.
Hold your partner's forearm with both hands so their wrist is facing upwards - they must be on their back for this particular hold.
Position your legs so your knees are bent and their arm and elbow are between your legs. Make sure you put your leg over your partner's neck first and then the other leg over their waist to make sure they are locked in place (especially important in fights).
Squeeze your legs towards their body and pull the arm towards you. You should make tight body contact to prevent your partner from escaping. The result should be that your crotch is under or very close to their shoulder.
Using your partner's chest as a fulcrum, pull their wrist to your chest and apply upwards pressure from your hips, while slightly pulling the hand towards your chest and in the direction of their pinky finger. Very little pressure is necessary to make the hold effective.
