Defending the kimura at the end seems doable. But the real problem here is that you first have do get out of full guard by sacrificing getting mounted. And then, from lying on your side and partly on your back, and with your body between his legs, you have to get the leg closest to the ground and most trapped between his legs, out and over his legs. This will be a major problem.

@lorentzus just do it. As is with many moves when you see them, they don't look like they should work. I have hit this in rolling live and also have had it done on me as well. Great addition to the tool box!

@Submissions101

I will. But what I meant, was that I wished Keith could explain and adress in detail what you really must focus in order to get this working. Like controlling the opponents upper thigh and shrimping out, and that timing is essential.

@lorentzus oh, got yeah. I actually had a long talk with Keith about this move and those exact questions. The problem with all videos is that they cannot answer questions that arise after you watch them ;-(

[Submissions101]

@DJS12345678 certainly more tough nogi but your option would be 'hand on your belly' instead if grabbing the belt.

This was very informative. VERY informative. I have a no gi tournament coming up on 2/12/12 and this will help out a lot. I've been watching your videos for a while but never bothered to subscribe... Until now **subscribed**

you know there is a variation to this where you dont have to leave yourself exposed to a mount...when you scoop you hand in..grand your lapel and pull his hand out so its not stopping at his stomach, then push foreward as to touch your ear to his ear..and that leaves you on your knees and your right hand free to push his left knee down and you pass the guard and take his back....im not trying to be a youtube expert..its just in case anyone was wondering about the mount thing.

Interesting. Seems like handing them a sweep though.

great counter that would make opponent look like fool. seems a little 2 risky though, putting self in a bad position
