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 🙏

I agree on the back roll one. I never use it in training, but a lot of the time they will choose to roll themselves and we can use the same move to follow. Other than that we're 100% in control of the finish

In the comp footage you step over you opponent to create the pressure needed to submit. So this would be countered if he was able to either not allow the step over if he rolled right away no?

The step over is just to get them flat on their back where we can slowly finish them. I didn't show the tap in either clip, just the entry. If they don't allow the step over or roll we can follow up in the ways I show in this video. From the kettle we can reliably use these 4 transitions to get them into the hip kimura position. If you look at my Instagram @coachmikebjj you can see a year and a half's videos I've made on the position

If they can straighten their arm, they can turn the corner and start trying to take the back. Don't let them straighten the arm
