I always like to consult Mother Nature and what other animals do. Bears have a tendency to move to the side and try to push the other bear onto their less supportive axis. Sort of how we do Uchi Mata or some hip drag throw, barreling into the Uki while at their side. However, bears do this not to just get the other bear to the ground, but to reach the back of their necks and arteries.
In states of hesitation or pre entry, bears will ball their heads up and curl their humps on their back up towards the back of their neck as protection before going into an attack. Depending on the size of their foe, they will usually try to spearhead their way into something and maximally close distance. Still, following the principle of getting to the side and pushing their foe to the ground so they can reach around the neck and snap the spine or severe an artery.
Cougars and other large mammals with protruding canines and claws enact this behavior as well.
The takeaway here is if you want to close distance better and get grips around the neck better, you need to take a stance that allows you to spearhead your way into the Uki. Covering your face and battering your way in, keeping your hands close to you and cover yourself while moving in from the sides. Try to avoid straight on attacks into Uki's power or athletic front (the position they are braced in and facing). This can be done by remembering to move the whole body in one unit. Keep your eyes and hands facing in the same direction your toes are pointed, never try to bend your back and abs around as the force you can output greatly diminishes. Anyways, back to bears. Keep your hands and head close, spear into them from the side, and close maximize going for the head and neck earlier and striking before Uki can. Always keep the pressure, break them down by constant snapping motions but not slow pulling and stiff-arming.
