Do-jime
胴絞 · trunk squeeze
Also known as body scissors (English)
Why this technique is banned
Prohibited act under competition rules: squeezing the trunk with crossed legs (scissoring the body) is penalised with hansoku-make. Unlike most banned techniques it has no legitimate contest history to preserve; it is listed so it can be recognised and stopped.
Documented for recognition and history; deliberately without a step-by-step. See the prohibited techniques list.

About this technique
Squeezing the opponent's trunk between the legs, ankles crossed around the body. Judo classifies it among the strangles but bans it outright: compressing the trunk this way can injure ribs and organs, and it wins nothing. Documented for recognition only.
Key points
- Recognise it: legs wrapped around the trunk with the ankles crossed, squeezing
- Prohibited in competition and in randori alike
- If you feel it applied in practice, tap at once and say so; it should simply not be used
