About This Technique
Kuzure Kami Shiho Gatame (崩上四方固), or the broken upper four-quarter hold, is a pinning technique (osaekomi-waza) in Judo. It is a variation of Kami Shiho Gatame where the attacker controls the opponent from a north-south position (above their head), but modifies the arm grips to break symmetry and overcome defensive resistance.
