This is great. What submissions can you go for from here? I see an arm triangle available. Aside from that?
I guess I just have to practice this position more to hold it, it looks like a strange way to put your base. Gotta learn how to hold it. Cheers!
As always, your techniques are excellent. I am in Oklahoma, a huge wrestling state and the judo here is very strong in newaza. We train newaza every week without fail, as well as tachiwaza. Keep drilling your students in newaza, they can only get better with practice. Rock on !
great sensei!

Hello sensei. I enjoy your downloads which are amazing. Where did you learn all these moves as most judo schools have “lost” their knowledge of newaza?
Are you associated with traditional judo society or the kodokan? have you visited the kosen schools in Japan?
Thanks for your teachings.
Perfectly legal hold and it makes for a good pinning hold for those who wrestle competitively
Good stuff! Will try at my gym today.
Hi andrew7913, You are correct in that the downward strike elbows (going from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock) are illegal. Dave was just using them as an example of strikes, probably not the best choice, and not making contact. This groundhold, though, is perfectly legal and is an extremely strong hold.

illegal in ufc and most mma organizations big ones at least use ufc rules though the hold is not illegal the downward elbows are illegal
my favorite hold
so under utilized in mma today.
