Well, of course. EVERYTHING in MMA requires leverage and angles of your hips.
Kimura is most certainly a power sub. Most subs use leverage to a larger degree and need much less force to apply. You can watch many videos of guys forcing through or nullifying a kimura. You don't see anyone powering out of an arm bar. At least not that I've seen (you can see guys get out, but it's by technique, not brute strength).
Sorry, but the kimura is known to be a strong man sub.
Sapp attempted to power out of a Nogueira armbar.
