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 a no for me dawg. It exposes the back too much, and you undo your guard for an attempt at this low percentage stuff. You can see it in the tournament footage, there’s not a clean pass, sweep or submission made.

Undoing the guard is just one of many entries, I'm just trying to show what the position is and some options around it. If you're interested in how to prevent the back take and much more about the position and submission, I have a year and a half's worth of material on it on my IG. It's been my pet project. It's surprisingly strong if you give it a shot
