Nice, also my highest % and beloved pin (to the point that I rarely use it because it feel unfair unless I’m the smaller guy). I like all the tips you had, though in my experience, the balance and posting is usually not a big problem. What people fear is them slipping out to your back. So my cue for them was “own the shoulder”, make sure to have not just the elbow head, but be under the shoulder pref with your leg also. That would roughly cue them for some of the good positioning shown here. Thank you. I think the biggest help here for me was to fully realize that if I’m having to post, then I could have been doing better as described.
Oh and as a follow up. If you do lose the shoulder, then bail. Goto another position, or worst case preemptively scramble from an advantaged or at least neutral starting point before they are half way to your back.
I actually sometimes bait the backtake - I let them clamp onto my trailing leg, then release the head and dive down into a kneebar. That's broken down at the 2:24 mark of this video here: th-cam.com/video/nKITSItbeyM/w-d-xo.html
@@StephanKesting oh nice love it. If I’m losing it, then I actually have mild success and timing then being too excited about “getting to the back” that they won’t defend in time, me turning over and going for knee on belly to mount. Little hard to describe in text.
@@TheDOS I think I know what you mean. I may have pulled it off live once or twice. As they turn into you and suck their elbow IN, their torso is exposed. They forget about it. If you make a HUGE backstep you can sometimes even take the back!
In all honesty, it's not that high percentage an answer, but it's better than nothing (so long as you're willing to abandon it if your opponent starts manoeuvring to turn it into his armlock)
Great position. My old teacher tapped the whole class just by using pressure in kesa gatame. It sucks when the oppt knows how to multiply the downward pressure on your chest. And if u end up here after a long winded roll, it's pure misery.
What if, he pushes your throat with his free hand (the hand of the arm that you're not holding), in order to throw his same side leg in front of your face and escaping? Yes, you can prevent this by putting your head closer to his head, BUT I found this makes the weight pressure that you have on his chest less heavy. How to prevent this?
If you're in Kesa Gatame (let's say after a throw) and want to progress to another position, which one would be the best option? Switch legs and go to north south? Go chest to chest into basic side control?
One of the few disadvantages of this position is that you are kind of locked into it. My favorite transition out of it is to go to the legs and get a leg entanglement

I think I've seen a video of Gokor Chivichean show similar things to the kimura. Much appreciated, Stefan, I'll play around with the Kimura.

Hey, John C Reilly does grappling.
Great position. My old teacher tapped the whole class just by using pressure in kesa gatame. It sucks when the oppt knows how to multiply the downward pressure on your chest. And if u end up here after a long winded roll, it's pure misery.
Great demonstration, good sir. My issue is that opponent doesn't roll me, but takes my back in this position. Any advice?
Make sure you control his elbow
