Hey guys so Ive been getting put in this position where either during HG or side control my opponent get a Kimura grip and they go for the far spinning Arm Bar. My master showed me a nice arm bar counter and Herzog taught us how to ghost but I was wondering is there another counter or method of reacting to the far spinning AB with Kimura grip THX
Other than a specific recounter I usually just turns my hips over to face them and shuck my elbow in and out of the arm bar. This usually leads to a scramble. A lot of times I defend the kimura by turning away, hooking my arm under my knee and then turning back towards them. If this turns into a stalemate then I usually know that they are going to spin around for the arm bar. So, if they forget to pin my head, I just turn in and pull my elbow down and out of the arm bar mid transition.
Most people tend to screw up the head pin on the spinning arm bar thinking that the move is all explosion and speed.
