Options from the seated Kimura position when the Kimura isn’t quite happening:

– The Genie Kimura is a powerful alternative that can get the finish vs a strong and stubborn opponent

– The Tarikoplata is even more powerful and a great option if available

– The Japanese Leg Scissor Choke is a timeless classic that is underutilized these days

These and more were featured in this seminar I taught at Balance Point BJJ in New Hampshire recently. The full seminar on Kimura Trap Strategies, as well as a secondary session on Leg Entanglements and Attacks will be on Patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu

The Kimura Trap is a unique method in grappling of utilizing a submission as a position / transition. It tethers your opponent to the threat of the lock, forcing them into a dilemma of maneuvering between two undesirable outcomes, allowing you more time and efficiency in your offense. In this video, Prof. Jared Jessup (@professorjaredjessup & @iqjiujitsu on Instagram) and I explore some of our favorite uses of this concept and why it is so effective.

Attack Style Passing typically refers to threatening a submission in order to pass the guard. Sometimes this is higher risk than other times, but the effectiveness of this idea comes from the necessary response of the guard player creating space or opportunity in their reaction, allowing you to pass, potentially with a submission already working. Here are some of my favorite examples.

0:00 – 0:42: Intro
0:43 – 2:12: Diving Kimura Trap
2:13 – 3:29: Front Headlock to Anaconda
3:30 – 4:28: Front Headlock to Darce
4:29 – 5:43: “Flying” Triangle
5:52 – 6:53: “Flying” Arm Bar
6:54 – 7:57: Front Headlock to Back Take
7:58 – 9:09: Arm Drag to Back Take
9:10 – 10:31: Diving Toe Hold
10:32 – 11:48: Ham Sandwich

Hope you like it!

Out of the many effective uses for the Kimura trap concept, attack-style guard passing is one of the best. These two options shown here originate typically from a thwarted knee cut pass, resulting in a pseudo-quarter guard.

Depending on whether the opponent on bottom clasps his hands together to defend either outside or between your legs once you achieve the Kimura grip, you may be able to take the back or possibly go straight to a rear triangle.

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!
