I've been trying to use this Kimura defense many times and it never worked well for me and always thought that it was because my opponents were stronger than me, but now i'm sure that i need to posture there to prevent them from reversing me.
Just lost at pans to kimura from half…wish I’d watched this first. As a smaller guy in my gym, I’m usually the guy doing this - wasn’t ready for someone to do it to me… well now I know.
Sometimes I do bait the Kimura, because I know this move is over used and relied upon from bottom half guard. Many times it breaks the persons will right away even if I don't counter submit them. I feel like it's easy for people not to realize it's a 50/50 position and get a false sense of success against lower ranks and or weaker people. In competition it's basically guaranteed that half the people on a local/regional level will try this or the Cross Collar stall from half as well.
Thanks I’ve added this to the basic move set as I very frequently come across this position
Been taking triangles from here if they don't block the hip! Sooo many attacks from this position, love it!
Was taught this a few months ago and couldn't remember the entire sequence until I found this vid, thanks!
Does this also work from full guard

Same here. Lost to a Kimura at Naga. I’m trying to up my game
would you recommend baiting the kimura to get this counter?
