, 7. ,Katam e-waza

The katame-waza introduced here are the ones most frequently used in

randori and competition. In actual practice, a throw often precedes the

grappling technique.

As noted in chapter 5, katame-waza consist of osae-komi-waza (holddown

techniques), shime-waza (strangling techniques) and kansetsu-waza

(joint techniques).

Osae-komi-waza

In the descriptions that follow, techniques are executed with the opponent

lying on his back on the mat. The right-handed forms are given here,

but of course there are left-handed forms too.

In the hold-down techniques, the opponent is held in place from åbove.

He is usually on his back and facing you. The objective is to get an unbroken

hold, one that he cannot get out of within a fixed time limit.

The meaning of unbroken is that the opponent is unable to nullify the

technique by gripping or seizing your trunk or legs with his legs.

Scarf Hold

Approaching yow opponent from his right side and keeping your own

body half turned to your left, you take his judogi at the right armpit in your

left hand and put your right arm around his neck like a scarf, gripping his

judogi at his left shoulder.

Be sure to keep your right hip and waist tight against your opponent's

upper chest and armpit. Hold his right arm in your left armpit, close to your

side.

1. Grab your opponent's upper right outer.sleeve

with your left hand and clamp his right arm in

your left armpit. Put your right arm around his

neck and place it either thumb up or palm down on

the mat. Put your hip in his right armpit, bring

your right thigh against the side of his body, and

press the side ofyour body hard against his. Bend

your left leg and stretch it out to your rear, then

touch your head to the mat.
