The reviews

• The Filthy Kimura

  Great video, Neil is IMO the best at teaching Kimura techniques. Appreciate the video and the education!

• Great catch wrestling and MMA details.

  In my opinion, this is more suited for cat wrestling and MMA. It’s great stuff that can transfer well to no gi. I wouldn’t recommend this for the gi necessarily. Feel free to disagree it’s a great instructional nonetheless and has great detail details.

• Flawless

  Great information and presentation. Neil's instructional videos are always fantastic, but for me this one is a standout. No b/s...just practical and instantly useful information that improved my kimura game considerably and gave me a slight advantage as an older novice.

  Allen H.June 8, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlack belt4-6 yrs training

• Sound introduction & upgrade to a great go-to & high % technique. Instructor has a tendency to ramble when he could be repeating techniques or giving details, and the sound could be WAY better, but his systems are always solid & practical.

• Amazing!

  Amazing!

  John S.April 27, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt1-3 yrs training

• Another excellent instructional

  The older I've gotten, I have come to rely on the Kimura grip, figure four grip or whatever you want to call it, to slow down the younger guys. This is another excellent instructional with little details to help your game.

  Neil has a great system and great details on the kimura!

  Scott L.March 3, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Excellent Details

  I'm a big fan of kimuras, they're my number one submission, top or bottom. I've pretty much seen it all when it comes to all of the variations of it that exist out there. This instructional showed me the technique in variations I haven't seen before. The variations are simple, detailed and can easily be added into anyone's game. I know they're in my game now. Definitely check this out.

• Filthy Kimura

  This is a great overview of the kimura submission. It is unlike anything you will find in pure jiu jitsu because of Neil's catch wrestling background. It provides you with a good set up from most relevant positions (i.e. not bottom mount or anything like that) and is a good threat to have in all these positions.

  Very in depth. Amazing detail.

  Jalen J.December 5, 2024United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Very good

  Very good instructional about different grips. Lot of small details to make them as brutal as possible. I’m sadly working with a weak hand due to nerve damage and lots of his technics are making me see new way to keep control even with the younger one whom already give me a hard time being very fast and strong!

  Jamey W.June 28, 2024United StatesVerified buyerBrown belt7-9 yrs training

• quality instruction from Mr melanson

  I own most of Neil's instructionals and all have quality content. I think his experience in catch and MMA gives this a slightly different slant than the usual nogi video. Many good kimura concepts and tips.

• the filthy kimura

  Neil Melanson is the best. He blends old school catch wrestling, pain compliance, and technique into a relatively easy to replicate style.

  Stephen S.April 13, 2024United StatesWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Lots of details!

  I have a kimura instructionals, and this one is definitely the best!

  MGBJJMarch 11, 2024United States

• One of the best Kimura instructionals

  I bought a few different instructionals over a year a go and Neil's tips and tactics have definitely been the ones I use the most. He is also hilarious.

• An encyclopedia of kimura varians and entries.

  I am a begin fan of his style because it reminds more of catch. The moves come one quicker than your opponent can react. It's almost a complete system if you want to build around this one series.

• The kimura is more than a submission

  The title here says it all. My double wrist lock is a control position, a wrist lock AND a shoulder lock thanks to Neil. The turtle position drill is one of the best I've seen and has my training partners wary to attack my turtle
