Your lack of RESPECT is disturbing, Hon-Kesa-Gatame, Scarf Hold.

[Matthew Edlund]

Also Sitting Mount.

I'm with this guy... it has nothing to do with respect. Don't get all defensive just because someone doesn't want to learn the japanese Judo newaza names.

Mono mount control, reverse knee on belly

Knee on face

While I appreciate the list, I also cannot understand
positions when I have no idea what they say or mean.

While I could look up every position that I don't know,
it would be easier to know the English translation/name
for them, especially since those are the names I would
be using when in training and trying to explain them.

Was that disrespect toward you? Or toward an inanimate word?
In either case, seems a little silly to me.

Knee on face

knee on balls?
