Stephan Kesting shows the easiest way to learn the swinging Kimura backtake. Download his free BJJ checklist at https://www.grapplearts.com/book

The Kimura isn’t just a submission; it’s also a great big bloody handle you can use to manipulate your opponent’s body in space and to swing yourself around him. The swinging Kimura backtake is a showboat move but it is actually quite high percentage especially if you use the Kimura to tilt his body sideways towards the ground (which also prevents him from stepping over you and doing an armbar counter). Give it a try!
