About This Technique

Do Jime (胴絞), or the trunk strangle (body scissors), is a compression technique classified under Shime-waza in traditional Judo. It involves wrapping both legs around an opponent's waist or ribcage, crossing the ankles, and extending the legs forcefully to crush the opponent's torso and kidneys.

Forbidden Technique (Kinshi-waza) Due to the high risk of internal organ damage, broken ribs, and spinal trauma, Do Jime is strictly banned in modern Judo competition and illegal in almost all sport grappling format
