Kesa gatame "Scarf Hold Strong"

Kesa gatame, or the Scarf Hold, is a fundamental pinning technique used in Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and other grappling arts. This technique is special for its simplicity, stability, and effectiveness in controlling an opponent, especially in Judo where pins can lead to victory. It's often one of the first holds taught due to its strong positional control and strategic value in both sport and self-defense.
Despite its strengths, it has vulnerabilities—especially to bridging escapes or submissions if posture and pressure are not maintained. Because of this, many practitioners evolve toward Kuzure kesa gatame, a variation that controls the shoulder instead of the head, offering better stability and safety.
Overall, Kesa gatame is a cornerstone of ground control in grappling, combining simplicity with effectiveness, and serving as a base for transitions, submissions, or pins.
