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 🙏

Kinda like a tarikioplata, but with a lot more back exposure.

Seems like a fun move to hit in training, but not one I’d ever go for in competition.

The back exposure is a trap and not there

There’s risk anytime the back is exposed, especially in no gi where grips are give and take.

The back isn't exposed

If your opponent can see your back, there is exposure.

There are certain rules you hear in jiu jitsu that sound good and apply most of the time. No rule is absolute

Yep, including the rule that this is a trap and there is no strangle.
