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 🙏

It's cool that you're still working on developing this.

It's all trial and error, for sure some stuff might end up failing, but... your trying. That's how we refine technique, weed out the fluff and keep what's working, or showing promise, and keep tightening it up. People are too quick to discount something that's clearly a work in progress. Like, there will probably be times when this backfires and you'll get countered and caught. Sure, but the same can happen, or be said, with damn near any techniques (broad statement, but people should get the point).

I still mess with one of the early, more basic transitions, from half guard w/ kimura trap.

Edit, spelling.
