Very effective pin, also opponenet will waste energy trying to wiggle / shrimp whilst you just apply more pressure downwards.
I nailed this pin over and over as an middle school/high school wrestler 10 years ago. I now use this as a beginner in bjj. Most people have no idea.
Me too! But i didnt know what ti do when i got into it, had no idea about what submission i could go to and how powerful actualy is...
@@noaradja5014 Bit late response, but for my first dan judo exam I had to showcase a series of pins and transition them smoothly while uke tries to get out. There is a lot of transitions from kesa gatame into other pins and I think practising that is key to making it work in BJJ and find options for submissions without losing control. Moving to a kata gatame is the most straight forward one if you are looking for a submission. Squeezing a kata gatame can already make some people tap, but I always found it depends on how thick your uke's neck is and your arms. From kata gatame can try to get on top and go for a tate shiho gatame. From that position there is plenty of options for a kimura/americana/ude garami/keylock/whatever naming is common these days for that type of arm lock.
You can actually be creative and try to get an arm lock from a kesa gatame by using your legs to lever the elbow joint of the controleld arm, but the only times I made that work was against lower skilled opponents as it is rather tricky and its pretty easy as uke to prevent it from happening if you are aware of the trick.
Good luck!
There's a famous quote by Bruce Lee, _I fear not the man who has practiced ten-thousand kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick ten-thousand times._ You can get far just from learning a single technique and perfecting it.
I just started taking BJJ, I've been fascinated by judo for years....I'm gonna use the poop outta this pin.
Very effective pin. Judo does transition into BJJ! Thx for the tip with the hand! Lately the Bjj guys have been able to roll me over I’ll keep in mind the hand on the mat!
you also want to be wary of the angles of your spines - the more aligned they are the easuer it is to get swept - that's why there is often a lot of walking around in this position, the guy at the bottom wants their hips under you and your spines to be in line so they can sweep you and you want to be perpendicular.
Travis Stevens showed one where he pulls the head in his chest stop the legs from wrapping. He then sort of lets them fish out. It's pretty cool. My son hit in an O goshi off a shoot and transitioned into scarf hold and did that exact same Arm Bar during a BJJ tournament. The throw knocked the air out of the opponent, and the armbar tap was pretty quick. I don't think the opponent could breathe very well. I don't believe the children had seen the armbar or knew you could throw off the shoot. The crowd went a bit silent. "Judo is lit!", he said when he got off the mat. He was pretty jazzed about it.
Your tutorial of Geza gatame is the best i ve seen , every judoka should return to the fondamentals . Many Young judokas that i
See in competitions miss the hand controll
Om the matt and get tipt over . Your my hero
Great floating arm variation Kathy! I love Kesa Gatame all the time and will definitely be trying this out.
Thank you guys. Looking forward to the next one!!!
This is literally my favorite position. I do it so often the guys in my gym are like, Oh no, the scarf hold guy. Once you get the form down, you can transition to it from your opponents attempts to escape. I cannot say enough, this should be in the BJJ lexicon for its conservation of energy when applying it and the draining effect it has on your opponent as they squirm, scramble and submit to pressure or that Arm bar finish. I have been taught a kimura lock from that position as well when they try to hide there arm between your legs. I cant quiet get it, learning!
Read my comment 5 months ago.Guess what you describe occurred to me.100% submission.
Good shoulder locks from here also, or transitions to crucifix. Good video!
and kata gatame, basically the weaponized version of kesa
Tips:
1. It also have the advantage that it is trivial to get someone into that hold from various throws.
2. For pressure, also remember to just breath in. This makes your chest expand and your chest muscles are really powerful.
3. You can also put your near fist into the side of your opponent's neck. With the other side against your triceps, it does cut of blood to the head. Breath in and squeeze and it feels like a choke. Works best if the near leg is jammed in tight to keep him in without using the gi arm grip. Many opponents react by wasting time protecting their neck rather than getting out.
4. You can also use your near hand to grab the top of the far gi lapel and pull down around the neck. This can again force hands up to protect the neck, makes arching dangerous as it exposes you to a choke, and helps secure the head from rolling out.
5. Even without a choke or pin, just squeezing hard, leaning over top, and breathing in is painful as heck on the neck. I'd made opponent tap just from this.
Thank you both for the deomonstration.
I was able to apply this during sparring today, including the arm triangle with the foot. Thanks!
This position and crucifix are easiest for me to hold as a small (just over 100 lb) female. I just started teaching and am going to cover this in class today. I'm glad to see someone have it work for them in competition. Thanks for the video.
Great details!
I'm a rusty judo blue belt getting back into BJJ again after a long hiatus. I had an idea to use kesa gatame on spazzy newer people to avoid getting injured by them. If you're skeptical of what they said about the pressure being legit, have a judo black belt put you in kesa gatame and pressure you with it while you try to resist. It can feel like you're getting headlocked by a gorilla. I think it's a good tool to have in your arsenal to help convince people to chill out. Effective in self-defense too.
Great video and really nicely explained!
Awesome. Thank you
Can't. Wait. To. Try :D Thank you!!!
good stuff! ima wrstler and learning bjj...this seems like a good avenue for me, something to focus on at some point..i wont forget Kesa -Gatame
Thanks for this, great instructions
Great pin. I learned a modified version of this in BJJ... rather than putting your arm under the head I go for opposite under hook. There are a few different escapes / attacks if you put your arm under their head, I just don't feel safe there but the I am looking forward to trying to floating hand tip as it does look a bit more stable. I did learn the arm bar that she showed, there is also a Americana there using your legs ;) great video.
It’s pretty amazing how effective this is when taking side control. Very hard to escape.
Love you guys from Mexico
I use kesa constantly in BJJ with a lot of luck. One thing that really works for me personally is that I've really switched over to kuzure kesa gatame (underhook kesa). Two main reasons for that: it flows very naturally from side control because of where your arms already are. You can flow between the two positions relatively easily if one position isn't panning out.
The other reason is security. With the underhook in kuzure, you have a whole added layer of protection from back-takes.
Underhook kesa getame is my favorite position in BJJ. Such a dominant position with so many options. Easy transition to triangle and several kinds of armbars, can easily go back to side control or north-south
Nice!!!
Greatness!!!
How cool!
Just started judo grappling and this is one my training partners go-to move. Completely drains me to even attempt to get out. Doesn't help that he's 80 lbs heavier too 💀. Love the challenge tho, gotta try some of the counters and keep working on my cardio
Discovered this position while fighting a dangerous person. He was very strong and very big, but he was unable to escape this headlock. I negotiated him with an Americana arm bar.
I saw a tik tok video called something like "little Asian girl beats white boy with judo throw" or something like that. It was like a highschool wrestling exhibition match. She threw the guy with an O Goshi and pinned him with kesa gatame. Very quick match. I'm still pretty new to judo but really working on that kesa gatame.
He he. I kept my buddy there for a long time he is 60 lb bigger and strong like bull lol. I got a arm lock on him after he tierd out. I hook my fingers to my bottom leg then roll up my opponent like toothpaste. It my take a while withba big dude but it can work. He he. Great video
The floating hand is a very good point. Hm. Counters?
I like this variation. The problem that I had was my opponent's free arm reached around and pried away my floating arm, then I got rolled. Any suggestions?
Wow that arm bar is fucking savage
finally taught right
While in Kesa Gatame, the following escape was done on me and it is very effective. Person on bottom: take your left hand and push her face away with it, really shove it away. Throw your left leg over her face and push the rest of her away. You will automatically have access to her right arm and can finish with an arm bar. You're welcome!
I do chockes from Judo side control 😀
Aleksei Oleinik is the master of kesa gatame
this is my favorite side control concept, never execute properly though and just assumed the other guy was too strong for me. Would have liked to see a few more ways to counter the escapes
I'll just add onto some things they didn't mention in the vid
1) Grip high on the sleeve and pull the arm THROUGHOUT the entire hold. This pulls you deeper into their ribcage, stops them from turning into you, and lets you instantly feel any shift in weight
2) be heavy on their false ribs. Scoot up over their body, then grind into their LOWER ribs as you bring your ass down to the ground. False ribs are soft making it difficult to challenge when you're under. This can make it so heavy and tight that inhaling becomes progressively more difficult the longer the pin is held. I have tapped people and been tapped with these 2 points alone.
3) keep your center of gravity on your ass. That means keeping everything down...Like keep your head down towards your knee. If your weight shifts upwards, it become easier for them to buck you up onto their shoulders, bridge and roll away REVERSING the pin. Keeping your head down also makes it a little harder for them to grip your collar which is a usual control point for either escape.
Kesa is a dynamic pin so keep those 3 points in mind and you should be able to react to most escapes
Another escape from there (when they put the hand around your head) is to frame (careful not to frame where you can get arm triangled), hip escape, push your frame, swing your legs over neck, and you can choke. Yes, I know that does not make sense if you don't see it. I don't like the hand around neck because there are a number of escapes. I learned to use the arm she had around the head to get the under hook. The way she had the floating hand though is probably the major key here. Everything else she taught though is how I learned and I can tell you it sucks being on the receiving end. I will also note that I learned this as a transitional pin to stabilize, this is great when person on the bottom has gotten elbow on the ground and is escaping side control and you need to regain space and control.
keep trying. it can totally work. I use it all the time in BJJ.
Does this work against Rickson or Ryron Gracie?
we practice how to escape this/be weary of armlocks at our gym but shes good at it
I did wrestling in high school for 4 year
You have more control if you put your knee under their shoulder , shoulder on the mat makes it easier escape.
White dragon judo club st.louis mo
It's my go to position, but I'd argue wrestlers do it best.
100%
Rock Flag and Eagle brother!!!
We use this a lot in Catch as Catch Can as well. Actually I feel that Judo has a lot in common with Catch, especially on the mat, but they have a more limited arsenal (I don't mean this as a criticism, its mainly a function of 1) philosophy and 2) rules of the sport, which come from the philosophy).
3:57 I spot the classic black and yellow bat-signal and see It's a Batman gi. Nice :-)
A few weeks ago, I was nailed to the ground in front of a bar immobilized in a similar hold by an tiny Asian lady. But she squeezed my right wrist under her left armpit making my right arm completely useless. After two minutes, I pulled my right arm free and threatened to punch her. She then snatched for my right arm and drew it around her right leg, so my right elbow pointed to the sky. I thought there was a knot in the arm and couldn't move any more . I just fidgetted helpless with my legs in all directions.
@Jam S Then your wife will probably know how this hold I was in is called. Knot in the arm,elbow pointing to the sky. This tiny Asian 150cm lady used the expression "makee " and forced me to repeat.
@Jam S You are right, only a slight touch on the elbow with her little finger and I pronounced this "makee " to avoid further aching.
@Jam S I never saw my strong right arm poised in such an awkward and helpless position.
@Jam S When I was released from submission that day I walked away red-headed with my left hand permanently sustaining my right elbow. But now everything is sane and safe. Both arms are o.k.
Seems an effective judo and sports pin, but not so sure about the selfdefense application. Or have I misunderstood?
Oh im sure it would work
It works. See my comment 5 months ago.
They don't have this pin in BJJ?
I gather that modified kesa gatame (arm and head, not head only) is generally preferred in bjj since an escape attempt from that position has less consequence for the attacker, and often just means you transition to side control.
A proper hon(basic) kesa gatame from someone that are good at is still an awful pin to defend against, especially if they also know attacks and transitions from it.
They have it, but most BJJers don't feel comfortable using it. You need to know your pressure and transitions like the expert in this video, and easily transition back to side mount at any moment - if you have that down, it's wonderful.
Never seen any black belt at Marcelo Garcia’s in NYC do this. Those animals will take your back in a NY second.
I don’t agree with her about not having the other leg up and planted. The thing to do is keep walking clockwise so that the guy on the ground doesn’t trap your leg and take your back. Another thing is to lift your butt off the ground and exert all that weight and pressure on the mid section. That’s the key, to lift your butt off the ground with the other leg. I don’t agree with her method at all. Dr. Rhadi Ferguson taught me the best way to do this. This is called Osaekomi Waza. Most BJJ players don’t know this. A good judoka can tap you out using Osaekomi Waza.
very very strawberry
Floating hand.... mmmm
Stephan tapping that tonight
Especially embarrassing to get pinned like this by a chick!
1:20 what? no its not
"Toketa" (hold-down broken) is usually called by the judo referee as soon as the tori's leg is trapped...
@@KathyHubbleNTBFIGHTGEAR that isn't the definition of trapped and even if its in that position it can be easily slip out cause the half guard isn't even closed. By the current rule set it's not toketta by simply putting your foot ontop like that. and if it constantly switches from escaping to being on top they will keep counting
Yes and that’s why I mentioned if the leg gets “trapped” in my comment... only then is it Toketa... sorry if I wasn’t clear...
I don't know why judo guys can't do a decent kesa...
You should never ever be relying on exclusively your upper body strength. You should always be using legs extensively
First You have to wrap around the head and shoulder with one arm cupping the inner thigh. That lets you effortlessly hold the position and attack for dozens of subs.
