Thanks for laying this sweep out for us. I’ve seen it used a lot and I think it will go nicely with my game as well. I’ve developed a more defensive half guard (not a good thing) by using the knee in the chest just to keep from getting my guard passed, and I think this move will help me get on the offensive.

thank you very much Blister.

maia’s english is funny, “look. look, move so people can see. look.”

i’ve seen a similar counter, people at my gym just lock their hands together and posture up hard, twists your arm really bad. this is better.

Featherweight—you can see a vid of this kimura counter by looking at a snippet of volume 6:Counter Attacks of the Demian Maia instructional video found here: http://www.groundfighter.com/details/prodid/243.html

I was practicing this before class last week and my instructor was watching and then for the technique in class he decides to show us a counter to the guy trying a kimura from bottom half-guard.

The top man, steps his free leg over his arm to protect it and then sits his left hip on the ground (assuming same positioning as in these photos) and then grips his own hand palm to palm and leans into the bottom mans shoulder and lifts, it applies a kimura to the bottom man.

Needless to say i couldn’t use this entry for DHG lately… i have to wait until some people forget this kimura counter
