Reverse kimura

[georgegreece]

Where do you use reverse kimura and has anybody used the variation where instead of grabbing your own arm you make a fist and pass it under it then twist to take off the slack?

Never seen it. I like it. I don't understand the second variation you are describing.

Maybe referring to a "Russian knot?" I use it a little, have some luck against judo guys.

Love it

Due to a weird striking coach I'm naturally in a south paw stance (right leg in front) and I'm 80% of the time in opposite stance from my partner. I see tons of occasions where I'll be able to setup and use this grip and the takedown afterwards.

Plus I already use the reverse kimura grip a lot when I'm playing guard, it's pretty easy to push the arm to expose the back and take side guard.

Do you guys think that it would be a good idea that while you have that grip and you are fighting to get the take down to just push the arm in and take the back?

Yes this is what I'm talking about, didn't know it was called that, thanks.
