Defending the Kimura from Side Mount 

Your techniques are SO LEGIT.

These videos are gold.

9 years ago but still very spot on. I got Kimuraed today and I didn’t know how to defend. I just tapped. Now I know how to defend it. 🥰

You have been an exceptional secondary teacher for me as I have begun my jiu jitsu journey. Everytime I go to class I have at least one thing I know really well and a couple other ideas to try from watching your videos.

these are so awesome. Kimuras are a huge part of our curriculum and I very much look forward to worrying less about my arms being ripped off lol. thanks Stephan!

Love the" tendon put there to counter the kimora"

😆"That convenient tendon was put there so you can counter the kimura" Genius. Awesome explanation of these very useful techniques. I like the way you use your language to your explanations since this game is filled with uncertainty so you do not have a specific all-in-one technique that will be applicable for everything. Words like "hopefully, abandon his move, who knows, potential move, and so on." Also, if you mistakenly knee Richie, coming back with "I am kneeing in the head for good measure." Hilarious.

These instructionals are so perfect. General explanation followed by demonstration followed by details. Awesome stuff!

@5:45 You also have a Kimura of your own on the left arm; if you use the triangle and heavy hips he shouldn't be able to roll. Even if he does you can keep the triangle locked and still take the arm or even the wrist for a double or triple tap. I'm sure that's all obvious but for anybody who might've missed that, there it is.

Thank you for this video. I've been looking for these escapes specifically! Brilliant!!!

Love your teaching style, Stephan...you looked bruised up there bro!

"that little tendon put there so you can counter the Kimura" - brilliant!

great stuff all around, big up to stephan

One of your best videos! Thanks for posting

Not only do I learn heaps but I have a good laugh when watching. Thanks Stephan

That's why that tendon is behind the knee :) Great detailed videos as usual. Thank you!

thanks so much Stephan, you know exactly what you are talking about and you make learning this even more enjoyable

So valuable. Thanks Mr.Kesting🙏

Very good to know especially for those who are very strong and always muscle one into a side mount Kimura. Thanks alot Stephan!

Fantastic. Just what I was looking for. Limita defense from side mount from a heavy training partner.

Stephan Kesting is the best!

Great stuff.. bought the app.. good work explaining this so well!

Yay, free content. Ty Watching this, it took a few options before I started seeing defenses that got my brain firing, ones that will work with the way I move. Definitely used to not be a SK fan but now there's so much garbage out there that it's easier to appreciate the quality of his work.

thanks sensei... It was very helpful... ooOSss!!!

Your videos are great thanks

The Hook and Lift is a great Twister setup

Great teqnique, it works so well!

Simply awesome video! And I thought the guys on Submissions101 were the best grappling videos... In variety of moves maybe they are, but the details you show make all the difference. Thanks.

Best technique .... Thanks for the video 🙂

amazing video! once again, great help for everyones game

It's amazing how well that flip flop technique works I wasn't sold on it when I first watched this video but I tried it a few times now and it does buy u some time especially the first couple times I tried it

thank you stephan

Great video!

awesome escapes!

Top coaching. Dig the dry humour in there... keeps the attention up.

This is fantastic

This is godly just what I needed

Amazing video thank you

Thank you so much it was amazing!

Great instruction!

Thanks man very useful!!!

Stephan YOU ARE BIGGG !!!

Outstanding.

Love technical explanation

Stephen, ur the best man!

Love that side mount Kimura to Oh is your head stuck in my triangle choke reverse. Very nice.

Thank you so much! I am having trouble with a strong opponent who uses this Kimura from half guard as his go-to move and I have been racking my brains trying to find an escape.

These guys are like magicians.

Thank you!!

Great video's!

Love that kieko gi

love the rolling triangle choke

you are the best!

Nice. Very nice.

just exellent

got kimurad tonight, so this is very relavent lol great video

Fantastic defense counter to offense!!! Gonna work on that and tuck it away for a surprise for my partner. . . drill, drill, drill til it becomes second nature-like walking.. Thanks Stephan

Great videos. Im not sure if its intended but you're pretty funny.

@4:30 If they are much heavier, then you will have to do many small bursts of small bumps and wiggles.

Gold

Paused to press the "like" button after only the first minute of the video. ;)

6:40 if you can’t bring hand to body bring body to hand- kimura defense

I'm digging the keiko gi

what if he goes for the kimura from side mount and drops his leg over your face?, similar way when you set up a armbar, only with a kimura.

Flip flop technique is not only funny, but works in practice too, especially if they're not used to it.

Stephan Kesting you rule and love your style with no G, more real then with G even if in street situation you can grap on clothes.

what is on your leg bro?

How do we escape a kimura lock when we are on top of the person,like how brock lesnar does it when he hugs triple h and does the kimura lock .

dang richie is 240?
