Mune-gatame
is not in the Kodokan Gokyo, and so there is often some confusion with the technique. The Kodokan refer to the above technique as Yoko-shiho-gatame.
In our syllabus though, the above is how the technique should be performed - omitting the head would be kuzure-mune-gatame. Your chest against your partners, your arms hold around your partners head and around their arm at the armpit.
To apply more pressure, your hands could be connected attacking your partners shoulderblades.
