Judo Hold downs


The Ground hold is use when an opponent is on the ground and on his back and held for 30 seconds to win the match.

I soon hope to get a complete breakdown of each hold down.

The hold downs are learned at the white and yellow belt level and no more are required to be learned for any other belt but there are more variations.

Once again, the pictures I have intentions on doing.
