Cool techniques
Excellent video to add to your collection, it is different from other videos you will come across. But you will not be disappointed. Lots of master keys in Sakuraba's approach to this submission. A lot different from the basic hold I learned in Judo Ne waza many years ago.
da best
Long time Sakuraba fan, so it was fun to watch and learn from him. Plenty to implement in training, and have already been seeing success.
Watch craig jones and bernardo fan boy out to the man the myth the legend - Sakuraba. Sakuraba doesn't speak english and the translator is ok. The real value is having two great fighters ask him detailed questions and try his moves out. Honestly it's a great format to teach...when done correctly.
SOme great details in this I haven't seen anywhere else!
Kimura the whole world!
This instructional is pretty amazing. Sakuraba teaches details about the Kimura I have never seen before and the focus makes all the difference. This went from a submission I never used to one of my favorites.
Without a doubt a must-have instructional. Great quality and details that can not be found elsewhere!
Amazing to learn from such a legend. Fantastic instructional and a must have!
As the title says, you’ll be ******* off your teammates and opponents in no time flat with this instructional. Sneaky wrist locks and pain compliance for stubborn kimura counters are just the beginning.
If you love Kimuras you must get this instructional. I've learned so much just from the first dvd. It has details I've never seen before!
Kazushi Sakaraba is a legend. This video series is very fun to watch and very informative.
Avesome. Great legend teach legend moves. Kazushi Sakuraba changed my point of view.
Watched the instructional and performed a kimura on the instructor the next day! loved it!
Despite requiring a translator, tons of wisdom in the decades of fighting to be shared. Highly insightful and recommended to all!
Great instructional. Sakuraba is a genius and his understanding of the body mechanics are incredible. Some of the best details on kimura I have ever seen. And on the top, the interaction with Bernardo and Craig is a real value in deepening the concepts. Also the wrist lock part is innovative, with a lot of movements never shown by others
This instructional video is sneaky in how informative it is- Sakuraba teaches some veteran details about opening up kimura attacks from the top, transitioning from kimura to armbar attacks, sneaky wrist attacks which can be effective in themselves but also assist in finishing upper body attacks, and a lot more. It is also a great watching process because you watch how Bernardo and Craig Jones learn the techniques and implement their own details - particularly one part where Craig dissects an attack from kimura trap. It is definitely well worth the price as well as well worth the time for multiple watches. Short but very content dense.
With the pandemic and a busy schedule keeping me from getting to train in person as often as I'd like, I love the option of on-demand training by one of the best! The smaller details and step-by-step breakdowns have my wife and kids getting caught in kimuras far more often than they've ever imagined! I can't wait to get back on the mat and put this to use!
I don't have enough level to appreciate the subtleties
Amazing content. Many of the details shown in this instructional I have never seen before. It really improved my understanding of the Double-Wirst lock. The focus of this instructional is on the double-wirst lock/Kimura itself and how to finish a fight with this technique, so only few follow-up techniques are taught. However, the details on how to get the grip and break defencive reactions will make follow-up techniques mostly obsolete. Highly recommended
A video from Sakuraba covers some intricacies of kimuras I've not seen anywhere else. You still need to drill what is in the video. A very worth while video. Just surprise your training partners then show them this. They will appreciate this video on kimuras. Extending the joint before rotation is important. Go slow and you hardly need to rotate for the tap. If you are slow and controlled there is no space for then to escape. Be careful with people that spazz when caught in submissions. A locked in kimuras vs a spazz white belt is not a good thing. Highly rated five out of five video, well worth the price.
This video package provides the techniques the dominate the opposition with the Kimura. Learn from the undisputed expert in this instructional. Sakuraba will help take your game to the next level, guaranteed!
Awesome techniques for the kimura, unable to use the wrist locks at the moment, but they do look very stealthy applied, would catch people off guard
Easy to use right out of the gate!
Different with a translator, but still very informative.
Be warned! This is nothing like pretty much any other video I have ever seen. Someone is translating, it’s maybe not as structured as some others and there’s someone with a Lucha mask involved. All that said, if you can get past that, Sakuraba delivers some great insights — and shows a remarkable sense of humor — in this unique video. It’s not for everyone, most likely, but those who approach this video with an open mind will get some great new ideas for the kimura.
Kazushi Sakuraba, say no more! Must have!
It's called 'Kimura Hunting' but there's a load wristlocks in there too. I love Sakuraba and to see his dirty tactics on Craig and Bernado is awesome (elbows in the ribs, fists in the sterman etc) Probably my favourite BJJF video
Great to see how the legendary saku became the gracie hunter!
Don’t be dissuaded by Sakuraba using a translator or by Craig Jones being there. It actually adds to it. I feel like hearing everything get translated allows for better absorption. It almost feels like being at a seminar with them with Bernardo and Craig asking questions and proposing different scenarios for Saku to problem solve.
A little bit different to other instructionals. However, very good extra details. Definitely worth it.
At first I wasn't sure about getting an instructional with a translator but it worked out perfect . I loved the knowledge that Sakuraba shared and everything he showed I had never seen before even though Ive spent countless hours on youtube and watching Bjj instructionals. I couldnt wait to get on the mat and try them out. I wished that Bernardo and Craig would have came with a list or some structure of questions to ask. Instead it seemed like they asked him random things that he had to come up with on the spot and he did a great job but they could have had a list of positions Situations etc and ran them by him before filming so he could answer instead of answering on the fly. I wished they picked his brain more because I know what he showed was the tip of the iceberg. I will definitely be getting more Sakuraba instructionals if they come out and thats coming from someone who already had tons of them from danaher lister etc. Also they could have made the video with labels so i can find certain things he taught instead of forwarding through the videos trying to locate the details of the moves. Sakuraba 5stars :call_me_hand:
Excellent details
Kimura Hunting by Kazushi Sakuraba is very good! A lot catch wrestling set ups !! Highly Recommended!
Good content, and presented in an entertaining manner.
This video was fun and educational as soon as you put it on. I love his teaching and the participants. I felt like I was in the video :smiley:. Will definitely purchase more of his videos.
I love the videos with him.... He shows awesome stuff which is out of the box. Also who the videos are made is great. Not like step 1 step 2...its like u get the feel of a seminar. Thx
Funny and instructive. Awesome details. I have an itch for test them.
Excellent instructional. Have already had better success with kimuras from watching it. Hope to see more content from Saku soon!
This is a great video for learning some new variations on the kimura
great stuff
This is a great instructional for me, being at a white belt level. I landed my first Kimura on my first roll after watching, and escaped an americana the very same day based on this video. I am going to buy his other video this week when I get paid. I think his videos are perfect for white or blue belt levels wishing to make dramatic improvements, probably higher belts too, who knows.
After watching Sakuraba in Pride win almost all his fights from single leg takedowns and kimuras I had to buy this. The dvd was great. I implemented some of this stuff he uses. I was impressed with some of the tricks.
Really cool details to help finish the kimura or control the positions to open up other attacks. Great series on armbar finishes. And some cool wrist lock options. Really cool to have Craig jones and Bernardo involved asking the questions for setups and counters. Props to the translator who did a great job for having no BJJ experience. Short tutorial at about 2 hours run time. But lots of key points that really help tighten up the kimura and armbar game. Worth it!
If you train MMA, Combatives or any grappling based martial art, this is the DVD :dvd: for you. Kazushi Sakuraba is just awesome.
Loved it very informative it really opens your eyes to a broader look into options for the Kimura.
Well done and entertaining
Great video
There’s a lot of Kimura videos out there but this one has the sakuraba flavor and humor. The one aspect that’s really nice and shown in detail in the dvd is the chaining of the Kimura to different positions and submissions.
