Kesa Gatame to Juji Gatame

Kesa Gatame (Scarf Hold) has been effective in all forms of sport combat for years. This video shows some specifics that can make Kesa Gatame a great move to start to transition to Juji Gatame (Cross-Body Armlock). Derrick Darling coaches and demonstrates with Mike Pennington with coaching commentary by Steve Scott.

Nice transition and good instruction as always.

Good transitions to armbar for the near side attack. If I may add one detail. Before sitting back for the arm lock grab the pants with your left hand to prevent the hitchhiker/homer simpson escape. Thanks for sharing!

Steven P Good point and thanks for watching.

[@scarred10]

its not a good transition,the uke ad no trouble pulling his elbow past the hip even in slow motion here.There are far and away better versions on youtube of juji from side control
