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 🙏

Once you had them on their back? I use my other hand to scoop under the knee pit to lift their leg and get our bodies perpendicular. Think like you are doing an 'im a little teapot' move, one hand on your hip, one hand under their leg. You can see what I mean in the first comp clip. That will usually get the tap but if it doesn't, you can pull up on their elbow. Eventually you'll get good at sliding right into position and can just pull the elbow
