Many Judo throws lead naturally to Kesa-Gatame, sincethe classic judo hold places one grip on the opponent's lapeland one grip near the opponent's elbow.Then as one enters the ground phase,one arm goes around the opponent's neck andthe other arm secures the opponent's arm.
In "The Canon Of Judo",
Kyuzo Mifune points out that tori's arm should lift uke's head andtori's leg should be under uke's shoulder.Exemplar Videos:
