About this video
Executing a double step over Kimura from side control begins with an attempt to secure a guillotine choke. When the opponent prevents the hands from meeting to complete the choke, the focus shifts to attacking the arm.
- Start by trying to place your knee on the opponent's back. As they escape their hips and grab your right hand to prevent the guillotine, switch to controlling their wrist.
- Pass your right hand over to secure a Kimura grip on the opponent's arm.
- Place your left knee on the mat and step your right leg over the opponent's head to apply pressure.
- When the opponent defends by gripping their hands together, you must adjust your position to break their defense.
- Drop your right knee down while swinging your left leg over their body, positioning yourself to sit on top of their neck.
- Attempt to finish the Kimura by applying pressure. If the opponent's grip is strong and they resist, use your left leg to help break their grip.
- Stretch your left leg while pressing your knee down to assist in breaking their defense, allowing you to finalize the Kimura submission.
