Knee Cut Attempt to Kimura or Amrbar when Opponent Underhooks (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a systematic approach on how to use the kimura to finish the opponent with an armbar from the top position. This scenario applies when Lucas is trying to pass using a knee cut, and the opponent tries to sit up or use an underhook to defend. Lucas emphasizes keeping the opponent's elbow isolated and away from their body to prevent them from hiding the arm or recovering. He uses a monkey grip and curls his wrists to maximize leverage and protect himself from injury. Lucas then shows how to roll with the opponent, where he then demonstrates how to finish by transitioning to the armbar submission.
