After losing partial use of my right arm due to a neck injury, I needed to find a way to protect my new limited arm and compensate with my strong arm, for the lack of power in my right arm.

Luckily, my instructor had taught us a lot about Kimura. While using the Kimura a lot my training partners started to catch on to what I was doing and were doing a great job of countering my control and attacks.

I started using the Kimura, especially in nogi as an upper body half guard, allowing me to control my opponent's posture and the distance between us.  It also allowed me to stay connected to them and have leverage points to reverse the position, sweep, and maneuver into positions allowing leverage for me to submit larger, stronger opponents with two working arms. This is a powerful game-changer that every BJJ player should understand and have in their game.
