I came to this method independently. I also stress the importance of using the trapping arm elbow to drive and pin the opponent's shoulder to the mat. It makes the kimura very, very strong.
@@EvolveAcademyofMartialArts not really... I play a kimura trap system game, was originally a judoka for years then transitioned to BJJ and now submission wrestling, in the position you did it I will go for the sweep if not transition to kimura most don't have time to react but I hug the arm different, the one element I use is with the top arm I'm very heavy on the upper tricep and shoulder which makes it much easier to secure the kimura... "I wish I could show you what I mean" also if they try to body lock me I extend them but if I can't I can usually go back to the sweep depending on there weight positioning
Kimura works great in side control, north south, T position. You don't see a lot of Kimuras from guard above purple belt. Just seems it hits better in other positions.
Interesting, I thought I was being sloppy or overly stylized, but I am using the same methods, except I am not using the lions maw grip to pry off their defense. I'll have to test that the lion's maw grip and see if it fits with my game. Thank you!
@@JamesBrown- definitely a risk of that! Try it out and keep that in mind. Think it would be harder for the opponent to do if you’re prepared for it. 🙏
@@soumyabratachakraborty3544 could you elaborate please and clarify if you believe it would be a bad idea even as a momentary means of defence against this technique, or just if you remain in that position for any length of time?
@@JamesBrown- in both cases. Bodylocking is mostly used in standing for takedowns and against seated/butterfly guards to kill the butterfly hooks or make everything below the waist immobile for a pass. Doing a bodylock inside closed guard makes no sense as both your hands are trapped behind your opponent's back and you can't work any attacks and if it's gi you just gave your opponent an easy cross collar choke. Also number one priority for the closed guard player is breaking the posture of the top guy you're kinda doing it for him.
I like it, but on the first method you didn't use thumbless grips ("monkey grips"). That also makes a big difference. The thumbs stop you from rolling your wrists forward into a more powerful position.
@@EvolveAcademyofMartialArts you know when you grab the wrist and the person rotates the arm to the outside? In that position one cannot push anymore and finish the kimura. I don't know if I'm explaining right. English it's not my first language 😁
Still incredibly easy to defend. There's a reason you don't see this at a good competition standard and it's not because we don't know the grip. Kimuras from bottom are risky and low percentage.
Your guard prevents the back take. And a standard kimura is also the same way. Your not just going to crawl out of their guard and take their back. He also has your arm. Don't trust me though. Drill the idea on the mat next time
Theory ,slo motion moves,,,,,,I cant stand these guys....." instructor " forgets that as he moves,his opponent moves aswell,,,,who is just going to sit there and wait holding a position while another guys does his thing,,ha,ha,ha!! So unrealistic.... Remember, you need strength to HOLD ON to another person,this man looks like hes 130lbs......so unrealistic.....

I never really thought about it, but I’ve been accidentally doing this to stronger guys for a while.
Good stuff!
@@mozes42 awesomeness!! 👊🏼🙏
I remember Leitao teaching this detail good stuff!
i have a devastating wrist injury where the wrist is fused. i will try this technique and add to my tool box. thank you so much for sharing
You just blew my mind..... 😲
Nice details...keep up the Great work 👍
Nice. Absolutely genius. I did jiu jitsu for years never really thought of this . Use to just grab the wrist first. 👍
I've been doing this for years and I love it
@@jonmoris9354 do you have trouble with them body locking you?

Clean
I WILL TRY THIS. GREAT BREAK DOWN.
I use this and the no grip Americana. Thanks for sharing this.
This I like a lot. Good stuff
Thanks, I'm going to try this out
great!

Love it! Great tip! Thanks
Nice! I'm going to try that this week.
Sick, going to class in a bit, will def try out in sparring 😊
@@CHRISTICAUTION 🙏👊🏼
That "No Solution" technique applied to opponents. Thumbs up, sir! 👍
@@Kareem_Alcindor 🙏 ❤️
Like it!
Nice leverage technique there--especially like the lion choke principle on the kimura
Thats a Catch method🤙🏽. Been around forever but I just learned it myself back in 04’ from Ron Kosakowski out of CT
👍❗️
looks like a winner...I'll have to find some poor soul to check this on....lol Thanks
this is very good detail
Thank u 4 that brother, will add it 2 my arsenal 😊
Nice
very nice
Good stuff, thanks!

Mmmm I like this
I've always gotten a grip on the wrist first before attempting, 🤷♂️
I like how tight their arm is cinched up.
Hi, do you consider there to be a risk of the opponent body locking you and flattening you back out, before you’ve taken ahold of their wrist?
@@JamesBrown- definitely a risk of that! Try it out and keep that in mind. Think it would be harder for the opponent to do if you’re prepared for it. 🙏
@@EvolveAcademyofMartialArts thanks for the ideas, I’ll try it for sure 🙏
Bodylocking against a closed guard is a very bad idea

@@Spiritof_76 makes sense!!
Very nice, Im gonna give this a shot this morning 👍👍
Way cool
@@Santafunk ❤️
Nice. But do you have some suggetions for dealing with the counter of just rotating the arm to a supined position?
@@scorpionsubzero9066 do you mean the counter to the Kimura?

What does Mante Leone mean? The Lions tail? I have also heard the lion tamer.
“Mata leão, meaning ‘lion killer’ in Portuguese…”
Great! My opponents will suffer. ;)
sick, do you think its as effective in the gi?

Amazing
Friday I will make people tap ;)
This video is so sweaty I got a staph infection just watching it.

Still incredibly easy to defend. There's a reason you don't see this at a good competition standard and it's not because we don't know the grip. Kimuras from bottom are risky and low percentage.
Your back is open when sit up to a elbow
Your guard prevents the back take. And a standard kimura is also the same way.
Your not just going to crawl out of their guard and take their back. He also has your arm.
Don't trust me though. Drill the idea on the mat next time
Yea not from within someone's guard it's not
