You NEED this KIMURA Setup from Bottom Side Control!
Mar 19, 2021Submission setups are EVERYWHERE - if only you look for them, you'll find them! For example, this Kimura setup comes from a failed reverse Armbar from bottom Side Control.
As demonstrated by Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares, one of the most important details when catching the Kimura to make sure to prevent your opponent from defending by protecting his jeopardized arm. As you can see in the video, this can easily be eliminated with a small adjustment.
When you catch the arm, make sure to isolate it by placing your hand on your thigh until you can switch the grips and properly secure the Kimura. Make sure to integrate this detail in your game and your Kimura submission success rate will skyrocket!
