Kimura from Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a Kimura from the closed guard. Beginning in the closed guard, Lucas circles his hands to force both of the opponent’s arms to post on either side of his body. Maintaining one wrist grip, Lucas sits up and reaches over and behind the opponent’s trapped arm with his other hand. He establishes the Kimura grip using monkey grips with both hands, then lays back, placing his back on the mat. Lucas then adjusts his hips and legs to lock the opponent in position. To complete the submission, Lucas pushes the opponent’s wrist toward his back.
