About this video
Executing a double attack from the closed guard involves transitioning from a Kimura attempt to a triangle choke when the opponent defends the initial submission. Begin by pulling the opponent's elbows out and drawing your right knee to your chest to establish a clinch. Anticipate the opponent's attempt to posture up and use this to your advantage.
- Open the clinch and grab the opponent's wrists, transitioning to a Kimura grip.
- When the opponent defends by bringing their arm inside, use your bridging foot to hip escape and create space.
- Position your left knee against their collarbone, similar to holding a phone to your ear.
- Weave your foot to the outside of their shoulder, kick it straight, and pull them into a triangle choke position.
- If the Kimura grip is still intact, lean back and pull to break their grip. If the grip breaks, you can fully transition to securing the triangle choke.
- Adjust your position to become as perpendicular as possible, underhook the opponent's forearm, and finish the triangle choke.
This sequence offers a dynamic approach to attacking with a Kimura and seamlessly switching to a triangle choke when faced with resistance, maximizing the potential for a successful submission.
