Purple Belt · Kimura & Shoulder Locks
Deivid's answer to a kimura that will not finish. His caption asks, "Can't finish the kimura? Not anymore! Try these classic power kimura." From the head end of a partner on his back, he wins the bent arm, hugs it in, and uses a turn of his whole body to finish.
Your partner is on his back and holding on to defend his arm. Stay heavy over him at the head end and work your hands in until you control the bent arm at the wrist.
Lock your second hand through so you hold the kimura grip with both arms, pull the trapped arm clear of his defensive grip, and hug it tight to your chest with your head down over it.
Keeping the lock hugged in, walk and turn your whole body around the head end. You finish seated at his side with his arm bent up behind his back.
