Escape from the Kimura Trap (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the Kimura trap. In this situation the opponent is kneeling with the Kimura arm lock. Lucas keeps his elbows tight to his body and does not allow the opponent to kneel over his free arm. He then pushes with his hands locked, turns his body, and drives his elbow to the mat to release the Kimura lock. To finish the escape, he pushes the opponent with his hands and feet to spin and recompose an open guard.
