KIMURA: step by step in jiu-jitsu

SUBMISSIONCLOSED GUARD · ON BOTTOM

Step by step

  1. In closed guard, break his posture by throwing your arms inside and pulling him close.
  2. Push one of his arms to the ground and grip the wrist; do not let that arm come back close to his body.
  3. Sit up supporting your weight on the elbow; pass your arm over the top, between his elbow and his shoulder, and grab your own wrist.
  4. Open your elbow and return your back to the ground: the lock is already in place.
  5. Open the guard and do one or two hip escapes to the side opposite to where he is looking.
  6. Close the guard again, keeping the figure four grip and his arm away from his body.
  7. Rotate your torso and arms taking his hand toward the back of his own neck.
