It is a very effective and powerful lock that can be placed from almost any position, top or bottom.

Finishing the Kimura from top half guard is a tricky one. You cannot block your opponent’s head so they can actually sit back up. Also, your range of motion is limited. A better option is to go for a one-handed- kimura…
