WAKI-GATAME




DescriptionHide Description
As Uke tries to escape from Kesa-Gatame by pushing with a hand and twisting out towards Tori, Tori takes control of Uke's wrist, pulls it forward and straightens his arm over. At the same time Tori comes over Uke's shoulder with his other hand and traps Uke's shoulder under the armpit. Armlock is applied in a slow motion as Tori pull sUke's straightened arm upwards, also assuring that Uke's palm is facing downwards and Uke's elbow is upward.
Tori demonstrates Waki-Gatame as a response to Uke's escape from Kesa-Gatame by way of twisting-out towards Tori and pushing Toris head away with his hand (displays of understanding of counter action in newaza).
