Good stuff with a unique move
I really enjoyed this series. I love using the Kimura but have never used the reverse Kimura. This has opened my eyes to whole new options. Can't wait to try out.
Unconventional attack that works. You will catch people off guard. Recommend.
compliments well with a 2 on 1 game. I like the russian tie and thats essentially what this is, but in novel situations and used for takedowns, sweeps, and subs
David Avellan’s Kimura game is absolutely incredible! This video course is truly worth every penny.
David's details are sweet and simple making for a great instructional that's quick and easy to access all-around.
Dave shows every nook and cranny of each topic and I especially love how he shows the move to start off each technique. That way I don't have to fast fwd and rewind to catch details - I get a glimpse of the move right away - which I love.
David hasn't been on the forefront of the grappling scene for a while so the young cats don't know him, but he's a savage. His techniques are great for MMA too!
David shows the Reverse Kimura or "keylock"and it's just as useful as your everyday kimura. Lots of options!
Love all his stuff
Love the Kimora and this adds a new wrinkle. A lot of these are very doable for anyone.
I'm a big fan of David Avellan's entire Kimura system, and this 3rd part course is no exception. I highly recommend all 3 of his courses on this, each covering a different aspect.
Dave's approach is nice and simple. Not 1000 details. Just straight to the point. I love this as an option.
reverse Kimura
good
Great system on rv kimura but also covers a lot of diffrent gripping options.
Professor D. A. offers the Reverse Kimura: imagine you grap a kimura trap and lead the arm to the opposite side in front of your opponent. Imagine you grap a kimura trap from behind your opponent - reverse kimura trap appears. It is a great alternative for more conentional two on one grips. Easy to translate into a regular kimura trap. Great addition to your closed guard and half guard game! Highly recommend!!!
Kimura traps are a cheat code.
