Dojo Rules

Ude Hishigi Juji Gatame

Warning

Judo techniques are potentially dangerous and should only be practiced with proper safety precautions and instruction.  The information on this site should only be used under supervision of a qualified judo instructor.

The Kodokan Judo technique Ude Hishigi Juji Gatame is commonly called jujigatame, or cross armlock. It gets its name from the position of the person doing the technique (tori) across the opponent's body. It is one of the most effective armlocks in judo, and it is consistently the number one winning armlock used in international judo competition. It is equally effective when used for self-defense, and the technique is included in many modern and traditional jujutsu systems. It is particularly powerful because tori is using the entire body, including the strength of the legs and hips, to control the person receiving the technique (uke) and to apply tremendous pressure to the straightened arm.
