Nami-Juji-Jime, Kata-Juji-Jime, And Gyaku-Juji-Jime Tips | Riki Judo Dojo

Riki sensei explained nami-juji-jime (並十字絞 - normal cross-handed strangle), kata-juji-jime (片十字絞 - half cross-handed strangle), and gyaku-juji-jime (逆十字絞 - reverse cross-handed strangle) as well as some escapes during judo class on 5-23-2022. Apologies for the subpar audio, we had to swap in some audio from the overhead GoPro here and there and had some color correction challenges too, but the teaching was excellent!
