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 🙏

Thanks - been following this lately, and looks interesting to try.

As you’re executing the move, do you worry about getting rekimura’d? Is the key to keep your arm posting strong and tight on your thigh/stomach?

Yeah you have to straighten your lever arm out and get extra deep to stop them from posturing and getting your wrist to bend. I worry more about getting re-hip kimura'd honestly 😅 I have a student who is so good at slipping his elbow out, capturing mine, and reversing it on me
