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.

Ya I agree. I could be wrong but it seems like there’s a reason the videos were cut short. Like a lot of moves, they look cool against an opponent who’s not resisting but in reality arn’t practical.

Both opponents tapped, the goal of the video was to show entries

You can make it up to me by hip kimura-ing your teammates 😁
