Kimura: Enter The System

By John Danaher

View course on BJJ Fanatics

Kimura: Enter The System treats the kimura as both a submission and a way of changing position. John Danaher covers dorsal and T-kimura situations, defensive grip problems and transitions to back attacks or other submissions. The course fits someone who wants options beyond finishing the shoulder lock itself.

Is this for you?

• You want positional transitions and alternative attacks from kimura control.
• You want kimura entries from guard, top positions and takedown exchanges.

Also consider

Edwin Najmi: Darces, Triangles and Estima Locks — Mission Submission offers separate darce, triangle and Estima-lock sections rather than building the course around kimura control.

Coverage and limits

• Grip and arm-position mechanics, dorsal kimuras and reinforced-hand defenses.
• T-kimura connections to the back, triangles, arm bars and leg entanglements.
• Entries from pins, guard, turtle and standing or single-leg exchanges.

Limits

• The eight volumes are organized around kimura control; they do not survey all submission families equally.
