Kimura from guard is setup exactly the same as the Sit Up Sweep. B swims
his arms around the outside to force T's arms to the mat. The
difference now is that B grabs T's same side wrist. The grip B will use
is called the "monkey grip" which means that the thumb stays connected
to the fingers. This grip allows for more strength to be used. B then
reaches around that same arm above the elbow and secures a grip onto the
wrist that is holding T's wrist. If B is on the left side of their hip
attempting to kimura T's right arm, they will then roll over to their
right hip in a modified shoulder roll". To reiterate the position, B now
has a kimura grip on T's right arm and B is now on his right hip facing
towards T. B has a leg across T's upper back and his other leg is
against T's belly (Top's posture should be broken and he should be
relatively flattened out). The next part is very important and can make
or break the move. B's bottom leg straightens out and comes across T's
shoulders perpendicularly at the armpit. The leg pushes T's body away
preventing them from gripping the inside of their thigh to stop the
sweep. Once the upper body has been pushed away, B bends his leg at a 45
degree angle and lays it down flat along the upper back of T. This
prevents T from regaining posture and possibly powering out of the sub. B
then uses his bottom leg that is across T's belly to pinch and add
chest pressure. The additional pressure from the legs helps to end the
move faster and and a lot more torque.
Kimura note: When possible, B can use that bottom leg and grape vine
around T's leg to help flatten them out. I had trouble doing this
because I'm a smaller guy, but against people my size I'm sure it will
come in handy.
