Do-jime
Do-jime is a trunk squeeze performed by encircling Uke's torso with the legs and extending them to compress the body. It is prohibited in judo competition and must not be applied in randori.
Movement sequence
- Recognize the position as both legs closed around Uke's trunk.
- Do not cross and extend the legs to squeeze the ribs or abdomen during free practice.
- Study only for identification under supervision; this prohibited action can impair breathing and injure the torso.
- Apply only under qualified supervision, monitor Uke continuously, and release immediately when Uke taps.
