I have been doing the reverse Kimura wrong... been gripping my wrist and people have been getting their elbow free. Now I do your grips and none can escape... also that long range is so nice. Obrigado!!! 🥋
I started doing this by accident. I am left handed and I kept screwing up straight Kimuras trying to translate it from right to left handed. I noticed that it was actually working for me. The last technique looks killer. I am balls deep into that !!!
We learned this like 2 weeks ago I love it. My coach was telling us to use our punch hand to reach behind the thigh and you can add more tension that way as well
Being a friend and student of Drew's I thought he was just trying to get more of my money, but turns the instructional is actual worth every dollar. I've been able to use it a lot of the technique since getting the extra study time with it. It is broken down super well and in easy bite size pieces.
Wow. Super lesson! Never seen something similar. Do you think that it can be applied also in MMA or the risk of being punched from the free hand is to high? For what I see and what I have learned in MMA, if in bottom guard, first priority is get up as soon as possible, second one is to close the distance. Anyway the second option you showed seems good to me also vs strikes
I think it has mma application. You already see it a lot standing in modified Russian ties (although this isn’t a Russian). The interesting thing about the free hand in the ground position is that once the grip is established and the guy is stretched out it puts a lot of necessity for the free hand to post, making it difficult to get it off the ground. Hope that makes sense.
a humble question: is it possible to apply the baratoplata using the left leg (wich in the video is on the opponent hip) to squeeze the shoulder? i have many big guys in my gym and using only the arms doesn t work for me. As always great content Knight!
Thanks for the comment. I’m not an expert in this position, but if I understand your question right, then yes, you can use your left leg to assist and it makes the emphasis on the bicep slicer more than the shoulder lock.
@@KnightJiuJitsu Thanks. I had a skillful dodger try it on me twice the other day. On my injured shoulder. Turns out he was also a considerate dodger and gave me room to get up and stack him. Always good times on the mats. :)
Honestly this is good but I find getting a cross wrist grip is extremely difficult. Guys will just yank it out because everyone knows that's a set up for alot of things.
Drew addressed this pretty thoroughly in his seminar and goes into a lot of detail in his course too. I had the same problem for a long time, and encounter it rarely now.
The yank is the important part of baiting to get that overbook over the elbow. You can also, catch what is called a snare (Neil Melanson), which is another way to get a reverse kimura or triangle. You have to be pretty aggressive with that crossgrip pull to bait that reverse kimura position. It is a solid position setup to many things. I use it quite a bit and is very easy to setup once you get the hang of it. I use it when breaking posture. I get a 2 on 1 on the elbow at the same time use legs to pull partner forward. This is probably the easiest way to catch the reverse kimura.
The main version of this doesn't benefit from grabbing the shoulder, but there is a position called the Great White that uses similar concepts with a shoulder grab, almost rear naked choke style grip, for different options.
The Russian is a different control configuration for different purposes and usually just standing. This, as well as the Russian tie, both fit into the family of double wrist locks, but this is different than a typical Russian tie though.
