Takes years of training to pull a kimura from a standing position and do it successfully

.

@bmeyer2011 I am sorry you have such a difficult time with the Kimura - one of the easiest techniques in the arsenal - but I teach police recruits and I see how easily they can master the technique within an hour. Practice hard and give it a chance. This is not the only answer we provide, but is a strong answer to a bigger, stronger, more skilled opponent. Read the explanations within this thread to understand when to use it. Good luck. Any questions, please contact the website.

It is ideal to be able to disloge the grip of the perp while on your feet, but, is unrealistic if disparity of size and strength is an issue. If you don't connect with perp, you will be tossed around like a rag doll, preventing you from striking or using other techniques to disloge the perp. The ground is the equalizer of strength when technique is applied and if they give the arm for the kimura... you win before you hit the ground! A small boo-boo from bad surfaces is a small price to pay!!!

[allforryan123]

It's not that I am necessarily pinning the gun inside, I am connecting with the perp and becoming one with him so they can't knock me off balance or strike me effectively. I deliver strikes when balance allows. I don't go to the ground unless I must in order to overcome strength differences and only when the kimura is set. As you know JJ was developed to overcome size/strenght differences and if they give you the arm for the kimura... you already won. Surface issues = small price to pay!!!

These techniques would definitely work, but it bothers me that the solution to the standing weapon retention was to go to the ground. If you're facing more than one suspect, this a really bad idea

[allforryan123]

@hapkidopip = I agree with your assessment when there is more than one assailant. That is why we have different techniques for multiple assailants. Keep in mind, this is only a sampler. In addition, it should be said that we cannot dispense with techniques that lead to the ground because we don't want to be there with multiple assailants... it may not be our choice in the matter and then what? If we don't prepare for undesirable situations, we will lose in those situations!!!

hopefully we'll be lucky enough to encounter a perp that moves in slow motion too

[wheelkick]

Going to the ground to retain your weapon ? Give me a break. If the perp is too strong to handle standing, the ground is the last place you want to be.

excellent technique, like the way you pin the gun inside the holster to keep suspect from getting it. My only problem is the first two that you demonstrate, you were not taken to the ground- you chose to go down and finish. What if that was gravel drive, hot asphalt or had broken glass under you. I agree with you that what you are showing is the way to go if forced to the ground, but we should never go there as our first option no matter what the Gracie's tell us(trained for 3 years in it)

best fighting i8s on your feet? but what if the ground is hazard? What if you have more than one person. well never the less i say its better than nothing. I would use bits and pieces of it. But i would go to teh ground last. Master Sam 5th Dan TKD blue belts BJJ

i like that you demonstrate with your rig on!

[Kbails84]

I agree with the statements made about going to the ground. You'll find 100 people with 100 different ways to complete these control tactics so I find this video that you've provided to be more beneficial than not. Thank you for the post.
