I'm sure you already know this. But when you mentioned the standing position and getting slammed, there's a pretty quick counter to it. Bring the left foot around, hooking the top of your foot on the back of his knee. It nullifies the slam so that you'll land on top of him. It was a favorite technique of Sakuraba's as well. Something I remember from my freestyle wrestling days.
Very detailed and comprehensive breakdown. It's nice to see techniques really explained in detail like this. In a lot of cases they're shown but not explained terribly well this is detailed very well. I look forward to trying this in my training and this teaching style is perfect for someone like me who is somewhat technique obsessed.
Fantastic video. This is something that a lot of grappling gets too as well from the back and there is so many transitions from the way you moved your hips and elevated your weight. Great technique thank you for posting these videos can't wait for the next one.
I was going to call you a master instructor or something, but I don't feel like that would have much weight coming from a random person; I'll just say you have some of the most impressive techniques I've seen/tried. Thanks.
Damn that's a nice instructional no wonder you have a stable of killers world wide. Always great to see one of MMA's greatest minds passing it on to the masses
I might come down to tristar but not for boxing this time...you're explanations are so well explained that anybody would feel they can perform this with ease.
That was really cool!! The idea of attacking from turtle instead of responding or escaping. Many thanks for the great instruction and demonstration. It is sure to help me.....or if I'm not athletic enough to pull it off...fun to try!
Trust me you wouldnt really be able to do those techniques youve seen just naturally, i started training at tristar last week and i had watched tons of his instructionals but they didnt serve me anything since i had a low level of experience in actual grappling, i bet that after i gain some experience ill come back to these videos and actually understand how to implement them in my game
@3:36 there is a great opportunity for leg scissors around the neck, when I'm tired I go that route. I've had many success in training doing this on people my rank - is this something you feel is a sound strategy overall? Thanks for the excellent videos Zahabi ji! Keep up the good work!
I was just wondering why people stopped applying this kind of kimura. There was this other guy, I guess his name's Kanehara, he used to do some interesting variations of this move too.
Hey Firas! I was trying this in an open mat, and was wondering what is there to stop the guy from taking your back when you're posturing up for the kimura? Man I was training with asked that, and proceeded to take my back. Am I doing it wrong, or is that just one of the dangers if you're not proficient enough with this technique? Thank you, love all of your videos!
Jesse Tietjen I know this response is a bit late, and I'm not Firas Zahabi lol, but my advice would be to take a big step out like Firas does, and immediately sit to the kimura with no pause in between. Obviously he's breaking it down nice and slow for us, but in a live situation, it's probably a quick blur through til he gets on top. That's generally how my kimuras look (to an extent), basically a blur that almost looks like a sloppy scramble, but I have the kimura control, so in reality I'm just using it to roll through to a dominant position. Initial hesitation when beginning a kimura attack seems to be the mistake I see most , and yes even the mistake I personally make most lol.
J'aurais une question concernant cette position ( pour les francophones :-) ) : Quelle est l'option envisagée si le seat belt est Bien Fermé et qu'il est trop difficile de casser le grip pour amorcer la kimura ? Encore merci pour ces vidéos.
Dans se ca il y a plusieur options. 1. rouler et returner a la guard. 2. Le "Peekout" 3. Se relever debous et trouver un "under hook" Je vais montrer see option ici sur yotube bientot.
Tristar Gym Perfect! I was wondering too why wouldn't you go for an underhook and stand before the "limp arm" part ... I understand it is another viable option, right? Really digging your videos, specially the striking ones... Would really love to see your favourite mma setups for a takedown!
albertoliverserna yes going for the undertook is also a very good option. However if the guy behind you is a better wrestler the Kimura is also a good option if you are very skill with this hold.
love this technique, been playing around with it since watching this vid! is there anything you can do with the kimura grip when they have both hooks? or would the risk of being one arm rnc'd be too much?
i think sakuraba no use thumb on wrist. it helps him maintain control while pulling of those whiled armbar transitions which look like he should be shooken off the armbar. i.e. vs. randleman. this is just my guess to why he doesn't use the thumb could just be the way he learned it and got use to it. nonetheless it definitely helped him in those situations.
@@hayek218 Ju-jutsu has strikes and weapon mastering (even swords depending of Ju-jutsu style). For historical purposes is great but strikes are not at boxing level, thw throws despite of having the same principles, are not like Judo or jiu-jitsu throws and the ground fight will never surpass a solid ne-waza.
I am not Firas Zahabi but I am a catch wrestling apprentice. What I can tell you is the fact that catch wrestling stylists have the highest kill ratio in MMA.
Your partner doesn’t look happy to be there, especially after you rolled on his face a few times.. If your partner ever sees this- you took one for the team my man, you are appreciated.
Thanks for the support everyone. I'm very happy you are all enjoying these videos! Please be sure to like and share.

I learned that technique since I was a toddler and my older brother would always try to powerbomb or back suplex me. Old school haha
This was by far the best instructional on this situation I've ever. Excellent detail sir!
I'm a big admirer of Sakuraba's grappling too. Would love to see a breakdown of his single leg technique.
I made a video explaining just about all his moves. Please watch and share. Enjoy!

Love your techniques and the way you integrate wrestling with your jiu jitsu. I've tried to emulate your approach at our school.

Best instructionals on youtube by far. Thank you very much.
Wonderul explanation of Sakuraba's kimura!

proper kimora breakdown really nice extra detailed technique so nice thanks

firas so great fighter..Great MMA master all time.
great video
awesome vid. will try.
Firas looks like a ninja in this video!
Great tip on the leg being far away from the head - I missed that tidbit and it cost me :)
I have never done a day of Jiu Jitsu, but I feel confident that when I start I will have an arsenal of Zahabi Zen.

+Jesse Rai yes head scissor can be a good control and even a sub sometimes.
All this is catch wrestling good demo firas
Nice tutorial!!!!
Does Sakuraba refer to it as a Kimura or a double-wrist lock? Thanks for sharing this information and your expertise with us!

Hi! In 3:27min can the kimura be applied if we go over his right leg with our left leg and trap it to prevent him to roll?
always very good
After you posture up and lock the kimura, is his free arm a threat to your neck?
i think sakuraba no use thumb on wrist. it helps him maintain control while pulling of those whiled armbar transitions which look like he should be shooken off the armbar. i.e. vs. randleman. this is just my guess to why he doesn't use the thumb could just be the way he learned it and got use to it. nonetheless it definitely helped him in those situations.
is this japanease jj or catch wrestling move coz saku did it against gracies many times
The original Jujitsu is more like the combination of present day Judo and present day Jujitsu, I think.

50/50 arm entanglement
Coach Firas, I have a question: What do you think about Catch wrestling as one of the disciplines being trained for mma alongside boxing & muay thai?
I am not Firas Zahabi but I am a catch wrestling apprentice. What I can tell you is the fact that catch wrestling stylists have the highest kill ratio in MMA.
I have a wrestling background and my son just started bjj. Are there any attacks from the turtle position
saku is the crazy
Thats some ninja shit.
Double Wristlock.
Saku did this to Kevin Randleman
haha awsome vid who the f disliked lol thank you
Your partner doesn’t look happy to be there, especially after you rolled on his face a few times..
If your partner ever sees this- you took one for the team my man, you are appreciated.
