Kimura escapes, ouch

warning: highly graphic



This video makes me cringe...
...and want to learn more defenses to these type of locks.
Any comments on where the kid could have made a better choice or two?(aside from fighting someone else!)
Seems to me he wasn't expecting the leg to come over..?
Although it went wrong way before that, like when rash-guard started stuffing
his guard and going for position.
So any good escapes people?

“	Seems to me he wasn't expecting the leg to come over..?	”

There was definitely a large discrepancy in skill levels there...

"Rash guard", as you called him, did everything text book perfectly once it hit theground. His pass of the butterfly hook was perfect as well as his setup of the inverted triangle and the hammerlock (kimura). Bottom guy should have gotten to his knees immediately and locked up the leg for a single leg takedown. Sadly, Rash guard would have probably finished the inverted triangle from there.

Any experienced grappler expects that leg to come over and should recognize that setup immediately.

Rash guard should have demonstrated better control and applied pressure more slowly. It makes me wonder if that wasn't a grudge match and Rash guard had a personal issue with the guy and was trying to make a point...

By the way, that's what Jacob's (Urbanus) opponent's arm looked like after Jacob's first MMA fight.
