The Americana gets a bad rap these days for being a low-percentage submission. That basically just means you don’t currently see it hit often in high-level competition. But ultimately, the Americana / ude garami / double wrist lock (lots of names for it) is a valid and powerful submission. It just needs some details.

In this video, we look at setups and finishing mechanics for this arm lock, as well as common mistakes that prevent it from working at higher levels. I hope this is helpful, regardless of your experience with this submission.

Included in this video:
0:40 – Basic Americana from Mount
2:55 – Breaking Anatomy
3:42 – Better Strategies for Americana from Mount
5:55 – Americana from Side Control
7:44 – Slot Machine Americana from Guard
9:30 – Americana from Crucifix
10:55 – Ude Garami from Kesa Gatame
12:00 – South Americana from Bottom Side

This series starts from a sweep that seems too simple to be true. However, after being on the giving and receiving side of it, I’ve found it not only to be useful, but a great initiative for submissions and transition opportunities. In this video, I show the fundamentals of this simple scissor sweep variation, as well as transitions from the opponent’s possible reactions and finally a rear naked choke and triangle choke available from it.

The Kimura arm lock is one of the most powerful and versatile tools in the submission grappler’s arsenal. Also referred to as the double wrist lock or ude garami, this lock is not just a powerful submission, but a position, or trap, in itself.

In this video, I outline some common, and not so common, entries and finishes using this hold. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think, and don’t forget to like, share and subscribe!
