When holding an opponent in Kami Shiho Gatame (Upper Four Corner Hold), you can work Ura Katate Jime (Rear Single Hand Choke) to finish him off. This really puts an opponent into “double trouble” from both the pin and choke.

Kami Shiho Gatame (Upper Four Corner Hold) is the pin used to finish an opponent, but the main part of this video focuses on how to get your opponent pinned. Coach John Saylor and Derrick Darling show how to control an opponent with what we call the Seated Rodeo Ride and then gain further control over him with a hip shift into the pin.

The most prominent Judo ground fighting specialist in modern times, Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki won the 1981 World Championships with a variation of side control in the final.

In this video, Kashiwazaki shows transitions from his favourite side control (yoko-shiho-gatame) position, to two other positions:
– north / upper hold (kami-shiho-gatame)
– mount / vertical hold (tate-shiho-gatame).

Notes on the translation:
—————————————

The English subtitles are original. The approach was not to translate every word, only the key messages.

Yoko-shiho-gatame means ‘side direction hold’
Kami-shiho-gatame means ‘upper direction hold’
Tate-shiho-gatame means ‘vertical direction hold’

Instead of the long names, I have used ‘side hold’, ‘side position’, or ‘side control’. I have used ‘north’ instead of ‘upper’, as it will be more familiar to English speakers.

Also, Kashiwazaki’s full instructional is over 2 hours long. I plan to translate other portions of it gradually. If there is a particular technique you’re interested in please comment and I will work on it first.

Subtitling is surprisingly time-consuming, so it may take some time – please subscribe and turn on notifications (little bell icon) so you don’t miss future videos!
