Judo Finishing Hold

[shanemm]

while ur in the hold there are a few things you should be trying to do constantly:

 

-get the arm that he's holding free(just push, pull and wiggle it free)

 

-keep moving your body

 

-slip your head out of his arm

 

there are a few ways to escape:

 

-if you get your arm free bear hug him and aligator roll

 

-if you get your head free hold the arm he had around your head and go for an arm bar by throwing your leg over his head and one under(regular juji)

 

-if he's too far over your body bridge and turn

 

-if he leaves his legs too close to your wrap them up with your legs, then rock toward him, then rock back away from him really fast

 

-you can also grab his belt, stick your knee under his butt, and roll him over you

 

-if he leaves his neck open you can go for a choke

 

that's all i know, feel free to critique or add to my list

 

getting out of kesa is extremely hard for anyone if done correctly. last night i was trying to get out of a new guy's kesa and it took me 30 sec!! that's a full point in a match...good luck!
