chain
Tate-shiho-gatame to Juji-gatame
The commonest ne-waza chain in contest: they defend the lengthwise hold by pushing with an arm, and you swing a leg over to take it. Age limits apply to joint locks; learn this only under instruction.

Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Hold them in Tate-shiho-gatame, astride their waist with your knees tight to their sides.
- Feel them straighten one arm to push at your chest or hip.
- Trap that arm against your chest with both hands so their thumb points upwards.
- Post your weight forward, swing your far leg over their head and sit down close beside their shoulder.
- Lie back with their arm still clamped to your chest, your knees squeezed together on either side of it.
- Raise your hips slowly against their elbow and stop the instant they tap. Never apply it with a snap.
