Kimura / Arm Lock

When an opponent defends against a Kimura from the windshield wiper position in side control, follow this sequence:

1. Ensure shoulder pressure is tight and not loose, with the shoulder driving into the opponent's neck.
2. Peel the opponent's arm away and staple their wrist down with your foot.
3. Switch your hip and base, keeping your base leg on your toes.
4. As you set up the Kimura, if the opponent grabs their belt, pull them towards you while maintaining shin pressure on their arm to keep it trapped.
5. Rotate your base leg and use your shoulder to help pull the opponent, ensuring you stay connected to them.
6. Use your knee as a kickstand to keep the opponent on their side, pinching it into them with your foot based out.
7. Bring the opponent's elbow and arm close to your chest to use your whole body to break their grip.
8. For the finish, keep your knee pinching into the opponent and turn only your upper body, maintaining a 90-degree angle at the opponent's arm to trap their shoulder.
9. If the grip is too strong to break, pivot on the knee that's pinching the opponent's ribs to transition to an armbar.
10. Hook your foot onto the opponent's shoulder to elevate it, making the armbar tighter, especially against flexible opponents.
11. Pinch your knees and keep the arm tight to your chest, and either go back slowly or apply the submission quickly in a tournament setting.

This sequence emphasizes control, leverage, and tightness to effectively transition from a defended Kimura to an armbar.
