Also known as: 寝技, 抑え込み, hold_down, 抑え込み技
A judo hold, also known as a hold down and in Japanese as osaekomi-waza (抑え込み技, "pinning technique"), is a specific type of pinning hold technique found in Judo. The original list of judo holding techniques was codified by Kano Jigoro and the Kodokan judo school.
The purpose of a hold in judo is to control and immobilize the opponent on their back for a specified period of time to achieve a score. This is contrasted with a Submission Hold or a Joint Lock where the goal is to force the opponent to submit or surrender. Judo holds may also be used in self-defense situations outside of judo practice or competition.
Judo holds have been incorporated into several different Martial Arts such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu, sambo and Mixed Martial Arts, and may still be tagged Judo Hold.
