Kimura in Half Guard to Armbar if Opponent Defends (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to get the kimura when he’s in the opponent’s half guard, or the armbar if the opponent defends the kimura. Lucas is in the opponent’s half guard and immediately blocks the opponent’s arm to prevent him from reaching for the head. Lucas now reaches over the arm to get the kimura but the opponent defends. Lucas shrimps out and brings his top leg over the opponent’s shoulder and arm so he can push on the hip to make the opponent release the grip. From here, Lucas can now finish the kimura submission. If the opponent defends by rolling forward, then Lucas immediately transitions to the armbar.
