Kimura
The Kimura, also known as a double wristlock, is a versatile and powerful shoulder lock submission in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, grappling, and mixed martial arts. It applies rotational pressure to the shoulder joint by isolating and controlling the opponent's arm. Named after Masahiko Kimura, a legendary Judoka, this submission is effective both as an attack and a tool for positional transitions.
The Kimura thrives in positions where the opponent’s arm is isolated, and you can control their posture and Fundamentals/Base. Tight connections and proper leverage are essential for success.
