Complete Kimura System - The Most Powerful Shoulder Lock!

[@monsoncole]

Hey Josh, have your editor throw a noise gate on your audio file for your videos to get rid of the AC sound in the background, will help your vids sound more professional, and be easier to hear

[@dickatry2854]

One of the best jiujitsu videos ever

Ranga's mullet is becoming remarkable

[@silvermediastudio]

The perfect "I've never had an original thought in my life" look.

[@JustT725]

Kimura trap system is on my 2025 list.

[@sergezogheib8377]

Very detail oriented! Thank you!

[@worldreaper]

Thanks Josh this fixed an issue i was having with this chain and showed me a new leg entry. Thanks

[@TheBuffer0verflow]

very good details.

[@stefanwagner1841]

I always have trouble seperating the elbows to get the Kimura grip from North South. Will try that angle you take. 🤙

[@Ghiuvhhj]

Great stuff, please do armbars!

[@joshmc8814]

If you're caught in a kimura don't grip your own hand. Monkey grip on top of their kimura grip with your free hand. It is amazingly stronger. Instead of them pulling on your weak grip they are pulling your body weight.

[@stephenbeatty5788]

Great tip! Thanks

[@Minx717]

You can actually escape using that grip. It can cause a wrist lock on them.

[@stephenbeatty5788]

@@Minx717 that makes me curious. I need to learn that one.

[@Minx717]

@ let me see if I can find a link to something similar to what I do.

[@Minx717]

@ it is an old school move. Be careful the harder your partner hangs on the more it hurts their wrists.

[@hermixtonen]

Your instructional videos are awesome . I have a technique request - can you do one on the best way to get your guard back when you are on bottom half guard no gi and the top guy has gone into the sit out position where he is in half guard but has sat out and is looking south and has the reverse underhook position and he weighs a lot ? I have seen the Danaher explanation . Was wondering if you had any techniques / details

can you make a video about how to get to north south for kimura?

[@mmaforever594]

Could you please do some close gaurd content ?

[@7887luca]

Interesting details. Danaher guys seem to favour the pulling breaking mechanics where the elbow is pulled instead of pushing the wrist. The detail about the roll is interesting. Did the danaher guys change their mind or is this your personal preference out of curiosity?

[@rorymahon8586]

Why not just go straight for the inside heel hook rather than passing the leg over to outside ashi?

[@hermixtonen]

I don’t mean to claim I know what the answer would be , but my experience is that the cross heel hook , while extremely powerful , involves some risk , when you let go of the secondary leg, that they can foot pummel for inside position with the secondary leg and either escape or get you stuck in that leg entrapment that Nicky Ryan trapped JT Torres with (honey stick ? ) . I think that this is not a risk if you try the reap/same side heel hook that he does here . That’s my best guess

[@hermixtonen]

I am not realizing my answer might better be said that in the inside heel hook attack , it is easier for the guy to leg pummel his secondary leg (once freed ) for inside position from the “running man “ position where he hides the heel of his primary leg and tries to pummel for inside leg position. I think that pummeling for inside position with the secondary leg might be more difficult if in that “diagonal Ashi “ position he moved the foot to

[@silvermediastudio]

Why pass up the opportunity for an old fashioned tea baggin'?

[@yannmoyes2493]

Can't you just finish the Kimura from the dorsal position ?

[@kris3451]

very tough with anyone who has a lot of energy left (or someone bigger/stronger than you). they have many options to off balance you, since your base is narrow, and your centre of gravity is up high.

[@yannmoyes2493]

I don't know man I'm seing more finishes from the dorsal position than from the side at high level , and if it's on the side it's from a Yoko sankaku dilemma, dorsal is a better pinning position than side Kimura in my opinion since you're also blocking the head, which is not achieve before stepping over the head from the side

[@kris3451]

@@yannmoyes2493 comps are usually weight classed tho. I'm just talking from my experience with people much bigger than myself. If you're controlling their head/ribs with your knees, you're base is narrow, and they can easily rock you back and forth. As soon as you prevent rotation by widening your base, you give up control of their head. Big guys just straight up rock side to side and force up onto their knees. Personally, I just fake the kimura/armbar attack and go for yoko sankaku. Much higher percentage for me. I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I've broken a big guys grip, and can't remember any times I've had enough leverage/balance to finish afterward - I just get launched.

[@DrHarbirSingh]

Yes lots of great examples of this in mma like Islam vs hooker

[@heymelon]

If you can you can. But it won't always work.

[@coffemaster123]

Do i need to be super strong to finish and play kimuras

[@waynetrains_]

No. This is powerful way to set up the kimura. It works great even when they are trying to not engage with you and just are just being defensive.

[@kage2606]

nah as long as you do the move properly they’ll tap, it’s crazy strong if you get it correctly

[@WakeRunSleep]

White belt question. Why can’t you just sit on their face?

[@philipdru4782]

step 1 to having a good kimura: get on trt amiright josh?
