Stuck in Mount? What do you think about… Going for a Kimura?
Playing defense in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is most commonly associated with evading submissons and escaping bad positions. However, just because you’re defending yourself doesn’t mean you can’t attack – that you can’t surprise your opponents by submitting them!
One of those surprising attacks is the Kimura from bottom mount and all the other variations that come with it. Here’s how to do it, explained by bjj black belt and ADCC bronze medalist Jeff Glover.
Glover attacks the Kimura and even though he probably won’t get the tap, he forces his opponent to defend by front rolling out of mount. Glover then ends up in a much better position: a Kimura Trap!
Yes, for a Kimura. From bottom Mount.
