Waki Gatame Escape
O.K. all you Judo and Jujitsu folks out there, I am looking for a vid of a waki gatame (armpit lock) escape. I did a search but could not find one. OR, a good verbal description of a waki gatame escape. Thanks in advance.

There are a number of ways to apply "waki"... Standing or on the ground? As ALWAYS the best "escape" is prevention...IMHO? -
Thanks, I knew I could count on you for a judo reply but that is not quite the answer I was looking for. What if? What if you are in Waki gatame, how do you escape?Comment

Lets look?
A standing takedown version you might expect to see in Aikido or jujutsu, eh?

These variations are often taught as defenses against front lapel grip. Defense can be as easy as grabbing your own sleeve or letting go of the grip on his (gi)
One of my favorite waki variations is good for attacking the so called "turtle" position.

Defenses are hard to find! There are a few Mifune clips but that guy was exceptionally nimble....(phenominal?)Comment
