A number of changes have been made to Kodokan osaekomi-waza classification over the years; how are different pins distinguished in Judo?
kesa-gatame
kuzure-kesa-gatame
any variant of kesa-gatame where the hold is under both arms, not diagonally across the shoulder and under one arm
makura-kesa-gatame:
ushiro-kesa-gatame
kata-gatame
pin similar to kesa-gatame but with uke's arm trapped against their neck by tori's shoulder in an arm triangle (as opposed to trapped under tori's armpit)
kami-shiho-gatame
any hold where tori holds uke facing them head on, with both arms under or over uke's arms:
also includes transitions from yoko-sankaku-jime:
kuzure-kami-shiho-gatame
yoko-shiho-gatame
tate-shiho-gatame
any hold where you are seated over uke's abdomen/chest controlling their head/arm(s)
also includes sankaku-holds from this position
uki-gatame
- any hold from a juji-gatame-like position
- any hold where you are restraining uke by putting weight on their abdomen through your knee/shin
