I'm sure I'll get alot of hate for posting this comment, but then again, I think I still have the right to my opinion. With all due respect, I do not believe this man is an actual black belt. I'm not saying I could do better, and he obviously has BJJ experience, but I think he is a blue belt wearing a black belt. His positioning isn't tight nor does he have his body positioned correctly as he makes transitions. He gives too much space for the bottom man to escape and counter.
great move, great grappler, but it still tickles me how such a knowledgeable and disciplined grappler pronounces the kimura , "chimera", quite the chasm haha
Hey Lloyd. Nice job cornering Brandon Vera at UFC 137! I was wondering do you also have a striking background as well? I know you are known for your BJJ but you also give some instructions/advice when you corner a MMA fight.
I always wonder about these kinds of things in MMA. Sometimes I see 3 coaches in the corner (striking, wrestling, and bjj coaches). I have also seen some striking coaches give advice on the grappling aspect of the MMA fight. How do these things work?
Oh and by the way this is a beautiful technique. This kind of stuff isn't usually taught, even at a high level. Of course they teach Kimuras and Americanas, but the way in which you so seamlessly transition between them is just beautiful. It seems like someone is pretty much fucked once you get side control and have a good hold on their arm. I wouldn't wanna have you on top of me in side control.
like I said this stuff is all over the internet for free.How do I know?Not only have I been in Martial Arts for 25 years, BJJ for 15.I watch as many videos I can on youtube unlike yourself as this video tells.Its not my fault .Its yours .What was that name again,fresh prince or something.True practitioners also spend time researching videos and not worrying about nicknames or taping themselves,but you already knew that ,Master pffffft.There is no blackbelt that will give you that arm anyway.
its funny how im really good at this series already and learned something from this video, that being the way to stop the opponent from going to his belt/gi to stop the kimura. its just a small detail, and now it seems like common sense , but i feel like i will finish from this position 20% more of the time just due to that. i wish so bad i didnt live in missouri and could do some training with mr irvin. lol blue belt pipe dreams i guess....
Ground work like BJJ is essential to a fighters skill set. I hold black belts in TaeKwonDo & Hapkido. Hapkido is very similar to Aikido in its flow of kinetic & potential energies on the feet. I had to rely on Judo & JuJitsu instructors for my ground game, however. BJJ is a great system, but was not created so much in Brazil as it was from Japan. I think the Gracie family takes too much credit, although they have proved to be some bad asses.
More great stuff from Team LI. I saw Mike Fowler show these moves in Gracie Mag a few issues back. But here I see the detail about moving the arm with the underhook to avoid the belt-grab defense to the kimura. This is going into my practice gameplan immediately. Thanks!
This is great instruction. The kimura itself is basic, yes, but making it work and knowing about / being sensitive to the various escapes and counters is not basic: It's the secret of sucsess! This type of instruction is helpful for every belt.
How many guys would you say Lloyd is training at once right now? Is he still there doing most of the training himself personally or has he gotten too big and has to use his former students and other trainers?
I can't believe someone thinks this is crap.. this is the bread and butter of Jiu-Jitsu man, i love the flow you have with these, deff be working on this, thx for sharing Lloyd!!
@grappler84 honestly I wonder how people believe the flashy stuff wins the most? If you do just the slightest bit of homework, you see that triangles, straight armbars, kimuras, and even CROSS CHOKES (up to Roger hehehe) WIN world championships! It's more rare to find someone using a twister to win their entrie division, then someone using the simple lapel chokes to win the Mundials! I couldn't agree more with your statement!
Master Iloyd Irvin. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Your videos have been helping my BJJ game tremendously. Thank you very much for sharing your secrets. :D
great video and technique im only 2 and ahalf months into bjj. ive been here and couldnt finish i see now why thank you mr . grappling renegade will keep you posted. guaranteed i can finish in this posistion now.
Hi Lloyd, fantastic to see you showing this done so well. I'm sure you already use the strangle I am about to show you, but if not it has worked well for me and my students in the past. I am a Japanese Ju Jitsu instructor but we compete in the BJJ grappling tournaments in the UK. would love to see your take on the Thai Strangle. - Check out "Training the Thai Strangle", I'm sure it would work for you. JJA
Wow this takes me back. This was the 1st drill I ever learned and I learned it on those very mats. My entire side control game is based on that exact flow sequence. Even though I'm no longer part of Team Lloyd Irvin, Team Lloyd Irvin will always be part of me.
@lloydirvin you really think he is going to show you anything? nahh man keep ur hopes low LOL...keep up the good work. by the way, i might open a gym in south of france for combat sports and specialise in Bjj. maybe u could teach there , hollar... pce.
What else would you expect in a video for beginners other than basic jiu-jitsu? The good thing about this type of video is it shows the flow between moves, and isn't just a huge collection of distinct moves taken out of context. The mousetrap shows the context of going from basic move to basic move. I like it.
@imajorhavoc are you a fool,everything good is basic,well most things.The tech itself wont catch anyone good ,its the set up and counters to his escapes that catch him.
@imajorhavoc not that it needs to be said but Lloyd Irvin is one of the best bjj coaches in the world. He has top notch, world class competitors as his students, he's won world championships himself in the executive category and he has legions of normal, self defense type students. imajorhavoc, this may be basic but the details are there to make it successful for yourself IF you practice it.
@imajorhavoc wow! that's a bold statement ......how can you call this crap? every single piece of this so called crap as you put it all adds up to a great system that is proven..c'mon please at least act a little more intelligent
We have very specialized flow systems to counter 'every single' counter that is possible to escape this position. Even if the person makes it to their belt, we have a system to counter that. But if done correctly they won't make it to their belt.
Make sure that when you open up to catch the kimura that you open up towards your opponents wrist and at first sign of a bump attempt, simply bring your elbow into their armpit and back out.
Practice this slow in the beginning until you get it.
@kingshahine I actually have the old Ralph/Ceasar Gracie orginal VHS set. Lloyd is the blue belt helping with their Vale Tudo techniques. I believe it even has his match at the Virginia state Vale Tudo tournament, if not mistaken.
I don't know, hard to say. I have my favorites for sure. If you forced me to say, as of 2009 I would say cobrinha. I love it when a lighter guy can do his weight and the open.
I've always built my top guys to be able to do the open division. At the highest level it's a risk for the light guys to do the open division because it's the day before their regular division.
Cobrinha took that risk and is an animal. He's also probably one of the nicer guys out, and not a fake type of nice.
Dear Mr. Irvin, great drills. I am a big fan. Quick question: how does one counter the opponent on the bottom from grabbing his leg (or gi pants) instead of the belt? What I mean is that in no-gi grappling we are taught to raise your leg to your hand if the opponent is preventing you from grabbing your shorts or leg. Thanks.
This may be hard to explain by writing only because there are lots of variations for me. FIrst 'if' they make it to their belt I have alot of counters for that. The belt is much tougher to deal with than the gi pants, but same principles apply.
If they go for their leg in gi or no gi I have reverse triangle options, I can follow their arm to finish etc. "IF" they get around their leg, it just slows down the finish, but it all flows into the next submission and or counter before submission.
We have very specialized flow systems to counter 'every single' counter that is possible to escape this position. Even if the person makes it to their belt, we have a system to counter that. But if done correctly they won't make it to their belt.
Make sure that when you open up to catch the kimura that you open up towards your opponents wrist and at first sign of a bump attempt, simply bring your elbow into their armpit and back out.
Practice this slow in the beginning until you get it.
I have taught this series for the last 10 years to my students, and every problem we ever had with these submissions you just solved. Thank you Professor Irving.
Yes, but don't let the messenger stop you from getting the message! If you don't like my marketing fine, if you don't like me fine, but what i'm teaching is the real deal. I'm not doing this to be liked, I"m doing it to try to help as many people in the grappling World get better and until someone comes up with a way to reach more people than I reach, I'm going to keep doing it this way.
But I'm always open for ideas. Thanks for your honesty
This works like crazy! I rolled with Lloyd a few months back and he got me in the same kimura about every 30 seconds for ten minutes straight. He showed me this drill and I've been killing it with shoulder locks since.
@gramero I just forwarded this to my instructor out here in West Sacramento. Looking forward to getting his thoughts and utilizing the flow in classes!!! :-) Thank you as always Team Lloyd Irvin!! Now, if I can find my Grappler's Gameplan, I'll be VERY happy! hehe
Master Lloyd is the man. Thank you sir for posting this. It makes me feel like I'm closer to home and training at your school. For everyone else...If you don't get it, you don't get it. Todd Margolis

Make sure that when you open up to catch the kimura that you open up towards your opponents wrist and at first sign of a bump attempt, simply bring your elbow into their armpit and back out.
Practice this slow in the beginning until you get it.
