Guest post by David Avellan, an ADCC bronze medalist. Avellan has defeated many of the world’s best grapplers, such as BJJ Black Belt World Champions Rafael Lovato Jr., Tarsis Humphries, Amaury Bitteti, Alexandre ‘Xande’ Ribeiro, Roberto ‘Cyborg’ Abreu, and Rener Gracie.
Avellan is credited for developping The Kimura Trap System , a powerful submission system that counters half guard, turtle guard, and take down players with brutal efficiency.
The Reverse Kimura is a weird grip from the closed guard that while difficult to finish as a submission, it is very easy to sweep from. In this video, I show you how we can use it to execute all of our basic guard sweeps, such as the Flower Sweep, Elevator Sweep, Scissor Sweep, and an arm drag. Plus, with some of them you can finish the reverse Kimura after the sweep.
