Powerful Kimura Setup for White Belts to Stop Basic Guard Break

Here is a powerful Kimura setup from Guard that works off of a Basic Guard break many White Belts (and just people in general) will use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
Many times setting up the Kimura from closed Guard can be tough because people are very conscious of their hands and arms and don't allow someone to isolate them. If you've train Brazilian Jiujitsu you get a 6th sense about not letting your arms get over extended or pulled away from your body.
This is why you 1st have to focus on breaking the posture of the person rather than attempting a submission. It's similar to the way a Judo player will explain a throw.
In Judo, before you can worry about the actual throwing technique. You have to focus on Kuzushi. Which is the pushing and pulling that causes a person to be off balance and open up the attack.
Attacking from the Guard on the ground is the same way. Before you begin to attempt the throw. You 1st have to knock the person off balance and break their posture.
Once the posture is broken. We can then attempt our actual attack.
In this video I try to share some of the simple details that can make the kimura from Full Guard work.
1. Isolate the arm.
2. Secure the figure 4 armlock for the Kimura / Ude Garami.
3.Move the body to the finishing position.
4. Use the WHOLE body to finish! Don't just focus on pushing with the arms.
To drive home the idea of the 4th part of that list. When doing a submission in BJJ. Remember that the idea of a submission is to attack a part of our opponent's body (arm, shoulder, knee, etc) with our WHOLE body. In the case of the Kimura. Recruiting as many muscles as possible will help to overwhelm our opponent's strength with our shoulder lock.
If you're a BJJ White Belt or you just enjoy the Kimura. I hope this video is helpful!
Thanks!

Do it like me, watch video go to the mat and try one technique and drill this with your buddy’s. If this works like it allways will, go watch another video.

[@MrNellynellson]

I wish my coaches were like you and warn us to get the position but don't crank submissions like this. Instead I have guys that crank so hard I have to yell tap.

[@BandakaKush]

That wookie will tear your arm off! Thankyou Chew-Jitsu, great content as always.

[@amcauley26629]

Thanks for the lesson! I was able to get my first submission using this technique.

[@Onur-xq4ce]

do you still train after 5 years?

dude, i dont know adam, but he has to be one of my favorite persons ever

[@franciscoramos7339]

Adam "Jazz hands" Wilson.. Lol. Great details Chewy.

[@johnlufflum1245]

Lovely stuff !! As the whitest of white belt this definitely looks a move I could use and more importantly remember :-)

What is the color of Adam's belt? Olive green??

[@Djhighlimitz]

First off your channel is awesome. My question is my joints tend to be really stiff because of old military injuries, so I find when I'm rolling I feel like a beached whale. What can I do so I don't feel so awkward when I'm on my back. I feel like its hard to get my legs wrapped example like when trying to do x guard or something.

[@teddyl7006]

I had to laugh when you did the mirror (from right to left). I my right so dominant that using the left side feels like writing with the wrong hand--it's stupidly clumsy. It was so bad that my instructor always told me to put my right arm behind my back (karate not grappling). I got strangely proficient at one-armed sparring.

[@lordofwarnick1557]

Thank you for making white-belt-friendly contents for white belt like me. Now I'm spending my time everyday to watch your video (after returning from the gym) and apply it on the mat.

[@Drwcorner]

Thanks for that basic posture break to get to kimura

[@Bluecollarrealtor]

Finally kimura from guard!! I love this demonstration of this move. I’m shorter so triangles aren’t my thing. This move is sneaky and discreet

[@shanelstevens]

Wow that's brutal! I love it, but white belts always wrench on these moves. I've had a subluxation from a similar move :(

[@AnthonyDonnellyTT]

Shane Stevens Sorry to hear that man. As a white belt, I'm always extra careful due to my lack of refined (read any lol) technique. Had a fellow white belt in an Americana submission scenario and all the while I had it locked in... I was saying, "You okay?" while slowly applying the finish. Respect is essential. Hope you've recovered mate...

[@antischocken4735]

But the guy has another arm, which in this presentation is 100% unused. But will be the main problem to successfully be able to apply the Kimura grip. Unfortunately you skip that part. Usually people lock both their arms with their elbows into your thighs and hands on the hips. I'm not sure if the pull with the leg will break the free arms lock so he really loses the balance/posture.

[@hamishmakepeace3386]

Hi chewy thanks for your continued content it has really improved my Bjj would you be able to show escapes from the mounted triangle and wrist locks from a straightened armbar

[@lukedynamite4210]

Brilliant move,thank you 😃👍😃.

[@billycrstal1]

Good video

[@johnhagebeuk8]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you. So many moves for me are based on using strength instead of using technique when rolling this gives me 1) more motivation to keep on rolling more and more and 2) Prevents me from gassing out in minutes. Thanks brother 👊🏻🙏

Anyone feel free to comment but I've been doing bjj for almost 2 months with no gi (I train gi and no gi classes) and it's about time I buy one now but I don't know the first thing about gi's and need help, I'm a male 16 and don't have a whole Lotta money but I won't hesitate to spend what I must for a decent gi or brand, what should I look for as far as brand, material, size, color, price, websites?? Thanks

[@andysaldivar319]

Alex Echeverria fuji

[@nathanieltillman2355]

Venum are good quality and not to pricey, Tatami are also great and good on the wallet. These day I like Wartribe but they are more expensive. Hyperfly make great lightweight gis. I would go with a Venum elite in black. I choose black because its way easier to clean. It's almost a certainty that I will get blood on any brand new white Gi and here in China it is not the easy place to get white clean without bleach. I would also consider if I want to do comps, after all they don't let you use all colours. I would buy direct from their websites if not MMA warehouse has some good Gis and often a few deals.

[@Fenglang1]

Alex Echeverria found mine through gireviews.com

[@damianwhite7332]

I'd recommend either Fuji or Gameness. Both brands make good quality gis for fairly cheap (~$100). You're probably best off just getting a white gi for your first one, since it's the most traditional color. If you really want a colored gi then you can get a blue one. I would stay away from other colors for your first gi since some tournaments/ schools don't allow them. Each brand has their own sizing chart you can use to select the right size for you. Fighter's Market is a really good website if you live in the US or Canada. You can also check with your school to see if they get special discounts on any gis and to try on gis so you can get an idea of what size you take.

[@alexecheverria8971]

Thanks doods this will definitely help

[@stucatz511]

Nice setup, I dig it. TY!

[@johngotti9479]

hey man.. . do me a favor and change the culture. . . you need new people in the game , bring money to the sport, treat white belts with more respect when they come in your gym . .. dont turn people away from the sport. and whats up with not having true weight classes in jiu jitsu.. . the sport really should change some things.

[@chijaytavaakachija1513]

Hmm. No. Who sees purples or browns caught in this? This is a white to white belt maybe thing.

[@williamlaurin7811]

Good stuff. Thanks.

[@SweetSpotGuitar]

Is that blood on Adam's gi his or someone else's?

[@AZtheOG]

Is the guy really not going to be posting on your chest when you try to just pull him with your legs? The posture break is missing something but pulling at an angle is a good tip

[@mamabearthrives7815]

2L2Q as always, and thank you kind sir

[@mikebrowne3995]

if you're on top, how do you escape that Kimora?

This is the kind of BJJ I like , not those crazy guards , due to my small hands I gave up kimuras from guard XD

[@s216674]

Nice details. Do you think this is feasible if someone posts on your hip/belt to stand up for a standing pass? Obviously, the timing would have to be pretty spot on, but it seems like it should still work. Thoughts?

[@AnthonyDonnellyTT]

Liking this a lot. My regular newbie kimura attack has a new "sting" for unsuspecting fellow newbies...lol... I hope! Now... can't wait to try it out! Great advice at the end too guys... total respect.

[@marek4940]

Isn't you making your kimura attempt more difficult by blocking his arm by your nearest leg which is high on his back?

[@Chewjitsu]

I don't think so.

[@stevevoyles3816]

Great instruction.....

[@jon-kurtisberry9683]

Brilliant thank you

[@MrMZaccone]

Once I lock this up, I'm very conscious of where my body is. If I can get my body perpendicular or more to the opponent, the arm is mine without any need to torque it at all. The position does all the work.

[@pegasusofdark3768]

Thank you Chewy. That is a great detail that I was missing regarding pushing my elbow into his shoulder

[@dangerdjk]

How could you pull him in when he has a straight arm on your torso? would he be able to prevent getting pulled in?

[@bruno007Obe]

👍💯 for you ! Extremely good demonstrate.

[@samjoal10]

Is this still doable if the defender has already gotten his knee under the attacker's butt?

[@ClimaxingTillDecline]

Bro.... that is a sweet looking gi. I love that kimura set up 🤙

How do I get a 3rd degree green belt like Adam!?

Oooohhhh I like I like will definitely try this.

[@paulzenchuk7807]

smart!!

[@pipokatz]

I guess it works specially fine against people grinding your legs with their elbows?

[@JFullerUCSB]

Not really, IMO. It's part of jiu-jitsu. Try to break their posture and dislodge their arms if they're doing that, or transition into a submission/sweep. It's hard to dig your elbows into someone's thighs if they've just broken your posture.

[@danpearman270]

Gotta agree with Jeremy Fuller - it's a legit technique. Remember, there's a difference between pain and injury: someone digging in their elbow is just pain, ignore it if you can until you can use it to transition or break their posture. Assuming they're only doing it on one side, they're pretty much giving you a perfect opportunity to slip them into a leg triangle choke. If they're doing it on both sides at once, they have no support to stop you breaking their posture.

[@jimminykricket4067]

adam

[@mexicanotaku1]

Ill try it when i get passed my rib injury. One question i do have is what should I focus on working out in a gym to help my jiu jitsu? Pretty much just working back, core, deadlifts, and swimming for now with the occasional bi/tricep and shoulder workouts

[@Chewjitsu]

Lifting is great. Building more hip extension and strong upper back muscles to counter act all of our hip flexion and rounding of the back. But outside of the gym the biggest things I would say is diet and rest. Yoga and stretching can be very good too.

[@mrorbit2u]

Great advice on the finish. Ty

Haha, me twerking looks like a dog doing number 2 in the yard.

What is on adams fingers?

[@fuloran1]

Adam can't tie his belt.

[@schism1986]

Hey Chewie, Is twerking your whole upper body the same as twerking with your lower body? I'm just curious seen as I can't twerk either way...

[@Chewjitsu]

Haha. I said torque and torquing. But it sure as hell did sound like twerking.

[@FergusScotchman]

That was an awesome new thing to try!

[@paarthpatel7619]

[@keandredennis6838]

this is going to enhance my game so much

[@geromeegans]

😁

[@PolarBearon]

Good stuff Chew. Question. How do your opponents other arm effect this technique? If he posts it quick, or he's posturing up with both arms on your hips, is it viable? And can you use your other arm to help break down their posture as you pull in with your legs? Thanks, man.

[@Chewjitsu]

If you keep the arm tight to the body and immediately move as the person's hand is forced to post. You should be able to prevent them from locking the arms together and defending.

[@danielmacca7268]

As always....great stuff!
