Blue Belt · Top Control → Submissions (Kimura)
A taught-to-camera kimura lesson: seated in mount with the partner's arm isolated, the instructor locks the figure-four kimura grip, spends the middle of the clip adjusting the grip and explaining from the mount, then falls to the side and cranks the arm behind the partner's back to finish.
The clip opens with the instructor already seated in mount, the partner's arm bent up and isolated in front of him. He holds the wrist with one hand and talks to the camera, gesturing and pointing with the other — the teaching starts from the isolated arm, not from the mount entry.
He threads his other arm through and grabs his own wrist, closing the figure-four around the partner's arm. By the end of this stretch the kimura grip is fully locked while he is still seated upright in mount.
The long teaching middle: still in mount with the grip locked, he re-seats his hands, clasps and unclasps the grip, and talks through the position to the camera. The partner stays flat and patient — nothing is cranked yet; this section is all grip detail.
Keeping the figure-four locked, he leans and steps/falls off the mount to the side, landing on his side up by the partner's head with the trapped arm still in the grip.
On his side, he rotates the partner's arm up behind the partner's back and holds the crank, still talking. The partner's arm ends raised and rotated, his free hand open and reaching — the finish is fully applied and held for several seconds.
He lets the grip go, the partner's legs come up as they separate, and the instructor sits up beside the partner to close the demo.
