Instructions

  1. 1Secure a figure-four kimura grip from side control or guard.
  2. 2Trap the wrist tight to your chest and step over into a mobile control position.
  3. 3If they roll or turn away, follow the roll while keeping the grip connected.
  4. 4Finish once you've stabilized position, either from the top or after the roll.

What to focus on

Following the opponent's escape roll instead of fighting it statically.

Common mistake

Cranking the shoulder from a static, off-balance position and losing the grip.
