Hour three of my client’s course in Submission Grappling continued our work with the kimura grip. Previously, we broke it down through a series of games. This time we traced it backwards, beginning with 2 x 5 minute rounds with the kimura hold in place and then 2 x 5 minute rounds of attacking with the cross-arm over-hook. The former teaches ways to counter the kimura and also to execute it through a number of different positions. Both allow for exploration of useful setups. The latter places a great emphasis on better positioning when attacking and also noticing when the elbow is open.
