A NASTY KIMURA FROM SIDE CONTROL!
In this instructional video, you will learn how to execute a nasty Kimura from side control in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). The Kimura is a highly effective submission that can catch your opponent off guard, giving you the upper hand in a fight or competition.
Starting from the side control position, the first step is to establish a solid base and maintain control over your opponent. You want to ensure that you have good pressure and are controlling their hips, preventing any escape attempts. This is crucial for the success of the Kimura.
Once you have established control, you will transition your position slightly to create the opening for the submission. By sliding your knee across your opponent’s chest, you create leverage and pressure on their shoulder, making it easier to isolate their arm.
Next, you will grip your opponent’s wrist with your same-side hand. It’s important to maintain a firm grip, as your opponent will likely try to defend the submission. With your other hand, you will reach under their arm and grab your own wrist, forming a figure-four grip. This grip will provide you with better control over your opponent’s arm and increase the pressure on their shoulder.
With the grips locked in, you will start to apply pressure by raising your opponent’s arm towards their head. This motion puts tremendous strain on their shoulder joint, making it difficult for them to resist. As you apply the pressure, it’s crucial to maintain control of their body with your weight and hips.
To finish the Kimura, you can either continue to raise their arm until they tap or transition to a more dominant position such as mount or back control. It’s important to be patient and maintain control throughout the submission, as your opponent may try to escape or roll out of it.
