What is the Kimura Trap? Why is it so powerful? 

10:15 ladies abd gentlemen all passengers of the flight aa308 are requested to head to the gate number 4.

Good explanation + good video quality = great content. Thanks man !

Thank you again Keenan for sharing all of your knowledge with us.

3:02 why's the homie gotta get up hella quick and mean mug me like that for? I'm just watching a video and he got me feeling like I cussed his mom out.

Keenan ty for all of your tutorial vids. Ive been watching and following you for a long time and have learned so much from u. I first started training in 2006 and have sorta been off and on due to work, life, and other things but ive never been away from bjj for long. Ive done multiple ibjjf tourneys as well :). I have this technique ive always used with the kimura and just wanted to run it past you and tell me what u think and if youve ever done it yourself...it seems to always work for me even with the higher lvl grapplers. Once i get into side control and i'm on top i love work on the kimura from that position. Once I get the kimura from side control it feels like I have so much control of their body and i tend to transition it right into an armbar. So for instance if Im on the left side of their body i will get the kimura lock on their right arm..spin around their head then drop back for the armbar..as im sliding down the arm I break the kimura lock and finish with traditional grips on the arm. A few things work against the guy on bottom so if they are not paying attention its not that difficult to get the kimura. First is when they try to turn into you and second is how they keep their arms in close when on the bottom. Thank you again Keenan for sharing all of your knowledge with us.

legit technique so useful pls do more of this amazing content keep up the great work

These are some of the details I have been searching for my whole life!!!!

10-4, that’s a 10-32 on scene, pause all non-emergent traffic until earape ceases, lol hahaha.

The kimura trap is even present in John Wick, so it must be effective !

This is actually wrestling vs wrestling..... or was, until it got banned. In wrestling it's known as Doublewrist lock. It used to be one of the most popular holds in wrestling, if not the most popular. There's youtube video on Mark Shultz using this move against Turkey's Karabachek as late as the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Quite brutal to watch.

Thank you, Keenan! Since we can't really train at the moment due to the quarantine, it's a great time to work on grasping some concepts.

LOL Keenans hair!!! Love the content! thanks Pal!

Great tutorial! Thanks

I do it from wizzer first. I always throw that wizzer in first to stifle/stop their momentum and the go for it after they’ve stopped bumrushing.

Very informative. Great video overall

Great technique. Thank you 🙏

Awesome video 👍🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻

Good job great info thank you

Brilliant details. 👍

Very nice class....thanks.

I love this dude's content. Very well made and informative. His deadpan eyes make me think he might be a sociopath, but who am I to say?

Americana from mount to armbar then triangle (if opponent sequentially defends) is my favourite sequence use the kinura trap to take mount our take back. Beautiful technique and well explained.

Very useful. Shot alot💪💯

in moments like 9:15 is like one of those weird memes where everything goes super loud and deformed

Thank you professor

Its very good trap. Thanks for the lesson dude. I love it.

Hey Keenan, I doubt you'll see this comment but I wanted to publicly say thanks for helping me with my bjj. I've watched your videos for a while and learned a lot. As someone who started bjj at 45 years old, your videos are super helpful. I came by your gym a few weeks ago and met you, but you were working out. I recently moved to Riverside, CA but will definitely come visit Legion again! Thanks again.

6:15 come up top or back triangle 7:22 if they turn away 8:41 avoiding kimura trap 12:10 holding kimura property

SAKUUUUUURAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAA

Excellent techniques, definitely need to watch a few times and then drill. As I get older I am having to fall back the Kimura

Awesome. And I think for your setup you would love a decent boom mic like an NTG3 or MKH416 with a sturdy mic stand like a Hercules boom or a good C-Stand. Way better quality and consistency and you'd totally eliminate the brushing against the mic.

10:00 you can actually counter him with your own Kimora at this point. And thank you for all the details

Nicely Done.

Good Teacher (1st Class) - should hold valid among different kind of martial arts - more people will learn jiu jitsu because of this channel

I’m honored to be the 4 thousand like 🙌🏻🙌🏻👻

Literally just trained this an hour before the post. Love the back take and leg scissors chokes with it!

Thank you 🖒👍👌

The Kimura is my favorite technique and I love to use it or connect kimura with other finishes and sweeps but it costs a lot of energy it can’t definitely have a negative impact on your game and your stamina if you use it too much during your competition and have a lot of fights in a short period of time

Nasty ! I love it !

Thank you

8:14 @Keenan, how do you think I got here?? haha Great video

“I’m having trouble with the radar, Sir”

Too good sir respect for you from india

thank you

That’s genius 🤙🏼

Keenan won against Dean Lister with this move

Muito bom!

there was a longer version of this video where is it? there was a move where keenan was in side control then he let the bottom man get to turtle then keenan got the kimura trap

awesome

How does this apply to kimura from half guard? Do the same concepts apply, or is kimura from standing and kimura from half guard basically two different games?

8:12 I googled kimura trap on youtube and I ended up back here. I am trapped

Vary nice

What about when they back roll in the position you first land in, Michael chandler talks about using this successfully

Whoa

I mostly just use it to get armbars from positions other than back control. lol

This is why you keep your elbows in and head in the chest on a single.

Great video. You are a genius. Make it sound simple. lol

I'm a white belt that used to get smashed week in week out, im the smallest and lightest in my gym also ... after mastering a few variations I've become deadly to say the least, proud to say I love this tutorial

I think it’s called the “elevator” in wrestling term.

7:42 step the top leg across the body, post the forehead and finish the kimura. Found this 5-6 months ago, worked the options off of it and we can't figure out the defense for it yet. Opinions?

9:13 “and even if I do finish the single leg VVSSFHSFFYBFFD”

Marcelo has a RU-vid vid about just shimmying your back straight on top the person to counter it and eventually turning towards north south to get back to ur knees. What's the counter to that?

Man, having English as your first language really makes communicating jiu-jitsu so much clearer. 💪🏼

How dangerous is this move from standing? Should you try it habitually or are you asking to break someone's arm horribly if you do it habitually? How much is the level of damage dependent on you, compared to your opponent's reaction?

And what if the person attempting the single leg goes for the high crotch and goes for a slam (as seen in Andrade vs Namujunes)?

If you roll him do you get takedown points?

I’ve done this trap while sparring with a friend Had wrist control and just went for it and drove him to knee. Was too funny

Hey Keenan the text code for the Gi-Book isn’t working

i wanna see keenan vs khabib, bjj vs wrestling, we wanna see who would tap out

hmmm get this from the Renzo crew?

Hold on is that Meha? From yoga for jiu jitsu?

But what if they pull out shrunken and 700 of their closest friends have glass hand wraps like Kickboxer and when you control their arm it’s actually Megaman and he has the robot dog and Venus is out of alignment?

How about a hizza gery tow the face. It works.

555888 no longer recognizes "keenan". Is promotion over?

Can you also show the Kimora Trap from half-guard in another video?

Boom, its on the wall (American Jiu Jitsu)

What happens to me: instead of turning in or out, they drive hard and heavy backwards, into me which destroys my leverage. I haven't found a way to really deal with that.

Khabib: But Coach, what about face smash trap?

The key is hand control. Peel his hands fingers first.

Could function depend on the level of enemy compared to you. If he is faster and better that don't work because he would not stop the momentum and use the head to attack the leg or the hips. Even in street fight if the enemy comes full speed for take down even an eye poke won't stop the force

Bro DROP THE HEADGEAR, i want to buy it nooooooooooow. Do you think i would be able to fit a wireless earbud in there or something? Would be awesome

Why would you take the Kimura vs the head outside position over the Guilitine when they can finish you with a dump onto your head?

If the opponent catching the thigh region is of heavyweight and more muscular,what are going to be the consequences?

Osss

Wtf i dont wrestle or ever seen any but my buddy in wrestling wanted sumone to spar n im like sure n did this I didn’t think to sit tho

why's it so effective? ask all the Gracies beat by Saku

What if the guy just punches you in the face while you are doing all that?

Cmon man, buy a boom mike! I hate that clip on thing 😅

Instructions unclear.. tried to reach over while getting taken down, woke up hours later with no money and a severe headache.. please advise Edit.. just messing mate great technique

Excuse me, you pronounced "double wrist lock" wrong.

Keenan that mic is terrible.

Like Karo and Saku did

Having tiny arms , legs and having ZERO upper body strength must really suck . Why grapple with the opponent when elbow strikes will knock him out and break his jaw .

kimura wasnt he the judoka who destroyed helio gracie in brazil ? cool that a bjj practitionner learns a judo technique , which by the way its called ude garami i judo ,

This does not work on wrestlers who shoot only low singles. Ask me how I know.

We

PSA: This will ONLY work on wrestlers below a D1 level. So everyone with a JJ base and 99% of wrestlers transitioned to JJ.

Catch wrestling 101 It's funny how we're reliving history. All these have been said and done over 100 years ago, and yet your average jiu-jitsu player is still amazed by it. Just rebrand and recite.

As a wrestler who plans on getting into BJJ I do not like this

Watch gsp vs hendrix. You will see an effective Kimura trap counter 😉
