Ah ok, thanks a lot, I'll start putting time in it. Will doing that set 2x a week tuesdays and fridays bring a noticeable increase or it's not much?

Beware of getting reverse Kimura'd though. Im catching a lot of people that think they can catch a kimura on me from half guard and I trap their hands and just pull up. I do it slow so as not to break poo poo.

Yeah, good luck with that. I'm either pinning your hand to your hip and getting the sweep/transition to the back or I'm clamping your shoulder down with my elbow to break your posture or I'm gripping low enough to internally rotate your hand and shoulder to prevent you from doing anything.

The kimura is a fundamental control position, with the actual kimura sub being only one of many outcomes. There's armbars and triangles galore, along with strong back takes.

There's a smaller guy I roll with sometimes who absolutely *loves* the Kimura grip. I can pick him up and throw him halfway across the room, but if he gets that drat grip, it doesn't matter how many scrambles and positional changes we go through, he's eventually gonna use it to teleport to my back.

Notably, threatening a Kimura counter from top half is the only way I can reliably get him to abandon the grip, and I suspect the size difference is a factor there.

Thanks for the suggestions. What I'm really looking for is what to work or target when working cardio. How long? what intensity?

Get some kind of heart monitor and hit the cardio heart rate limit (different for different people, based on age and weight) for 30 minutes I'd say.

Yeah that poo poo doesnt work on me. This best explains what I do, the higher belts are on to me as soon as Im in this position, purples and below from what Ive noticed, not so much. The key is to drop (in the case of the video) my left hip, if I do that, no one has yet to sweep me, but like I said I have to watch them coming back on top but more often than not they are worrying more about their arm. Its so fast though I have tapped a few people with it.

Yes it does.

That video, while good, isn't taking into account the pinning of the shoulder, driving of the hand to the hip or internal rotation. All of which shut down the idea of posturing. If you flop to your hip when I have your shoulder controlled you have no leverage. Anyone who is competent at the kimura from bottom half isn't gonna get tapped by this.

There are two ways to defend both of which I have tried and they work.

1. First way is to do whats in the video and drop your hip. You might get the reverse kimura, maybe not. Like I said against lower belts Ive caught it. This is less effective, its more of a "oh poo poo I didnt know you could do that" submission.

2. The second way and, from what I have noticed is the most effective, is the moment the kimura grip comes on, leaving your (in this case) left arm bent in a L, gripping your left hand and pulling up, it will break the kimura grip. In fact if they hold on to the kimura, there is a good chance they will break their arm. The angle for me to break the grip is actually much less than the one you would need to finish the kimura, hence the reason I always win that battle. Just tried it against one of our black belts last Thursday and he immediately let go of the kimura grip.

But hey man, Im just telling you what works for me, who knows maybe I will get caught with something or there is some counter-counter that works on that.

We can keep this stupid circle jerk going all day. A properly set up kimura from bottom half doesn't allow you either the room, angle or ability to grab your own arm at an L and yank. I'm aware of what you're trying to say you do.

Yeah this. If you're putting pressure on their triceps, they can't get the posture to rip their arm up to counter the kimura.

People think they can just rip their arm out with my kimura and learn very quickly they cannot.

:getin:

Edit: once I get the grip I usually straighten my arms and drive their hand towards their hip and really think about my top arm clamping down on their tricep. Saw that in a yt vid, and I really think it works.

Yeah I dont want this to happen and from what I have noticed the adjustment comes after they get the grip, and by that time Im already pulling up.

The kimura-er should have a good bite on your shoulder with the grip to prevent early pull outs. :v:

Most people think of the kimura as encircling the elbow, and don't focus on the clamp which prevents a lot of the common resistances (like sitting up) much in the same way that people don't clamp the opponent when going for a triangle.

Could try an inverted armbar provided you have the leverage but that may be a poor position for it, someone of a higher skill level can probably tell you why that's a bad idea and I'm dumb for saying it.

Anyone here get high and roll? It's such a strange idea to me. I don't get high very much (few times a year? ) and if I do the last thing it does is make me better at coordinated physical activity, unless eating and laughing count. I sure as poo poo would not want to fight anyone, even pretend fighting. My guess based on the stoner bjj'ers I have meet is that they just do everything high all the time, so bjj is part of that.

Even though I know some NFL / NBA players say it helps them with athletic performance, I just don't see it. Speak up stoner goons.

Nah I haven't. Rogan has mentioned a few times on his podcast there's a kickboxer he knows in Europe that microdoses mushrooms and apparently that little high he gets makes him stupidly fluid or something (so says the kickboxer). It'd be interesting but the times I got high I just napped so I feel doing BJJ while high would just result in me taking a nap in the middle of the nap without my opponent even touching me.

I'm not Yuns proficient but if someone manages to straighten their arm I'll transition to an arm crush/straight arm bar, if they straighten and posture I'll use that space to get a sweep or transition to a leg attack.

It doesnt bother me. I have friends that roll stoned. Most of the people in my gym dont, but I can think of a few people and one in particular that I am pretty sure does, but hes in pain a lot after being blown up by a roadside bomb in Iraq so no one is ever gonna give him poo poo for it.

Not illegal in the cool parts of :fsmug:

Anecdotal, I've gotten high and rolled a couple times, it really depends on the strain you're smoking. Sativa's make me a bit more in tune with my surroundings and a lot more analytical, and calms me down. It definitely helps my poker game and I can see myself thinking through moves and outcomes a bit more in jiu jitsu. I've known a few people to micro dose mushrooms and play poker to roughly the same effect as described.

Got my rear end beat tonight. Brown belt just destroyed me. I defended against the blue belt well but he manhandled me like a bitch. gently caress.

edit: regarding weed, I don't think I could ever get high at my gym, maybe during the fundamentals class when we just drill. I don't think I could row while high, it doesn't seem fun to me and I would be afraid of my professor yelling at me.

I briefly toyed with swimming as supplementary cardio but no longer have access to a lap pool. It puts very little strain on your joints and helps your breathing while also being a cardio workout. You could count laps and shorten your break times to measure progress? Your joints feel really good afterwards.
