Osae-Komi Waza Hold-Down Techniques


These ground holds should be practiced to the right and left. By the time you reach black belt you should be able to move smoothly from one ground hold to another.

When moving between ground holds try to maintain control of uki throughout the change to the next hold.

Don't try to use strength to maintain the hold you have when your opponent has partially broken the hold. Allow Uki to move into a position in which you can apply another holding technique.
