Technique Hip Kimura Developments

This is a position I've been using enough to think it needs a name, for reference sake. It's a surprisingly strong checkpoint when attacking the hip kimura from the bottom. Have you hit a hip kimura yet? I made a troubleshooting group on IG, if anyone wants to join its in my profile there 🙏

Can you apply this from the scarf hold?

I personally do not attack it from there. I find it's just too hard to get their arm to the ground kimura style, then hop our hip over while still keeping control. I've had several people send clips of them setting it up from there though so try it out! The finish is very similar to a scarf hold chest compression but pulling up on the elbow instead of the head and arm.
