I was looking through some sambo vids, because im a leglock guy, and i found this gem. The Kimura variation is really cool, but the neck crank at the end is brutal. It seems very much like a twister to me. What do you guys think?

Looks cool but it's gotta be tested and proven before it gets added for sure
Yeah, but with the rubberguard dominant guard system, i doubt many people will use it. Its the only kimura that i get on experienced people.
This position does come up tho like with a failed arm drag

Very similar to the "octopus guard" that neck crank is a much lower percentage option than simply taking the back. BJ Penn vs Matt Hughes is a great example in Mma.
I can see that being a move off of mission control; zombie then release leg to swim through, test the crank, then take the back.
Eh. I don't think it's revolutionary or new at all. I've known this back take for years. All the 10p high ups know this back take or even a better refined version I'm sure...
The kimura is an interesting variation but don't much care for the neck crank. I think this video has come up a couple times in the past with low approval rate. About as good as the Puppet Master.
I liked some of the stuff from puppet master, the inverted spider web or whatever looked very similar that system. I caught some shit for posting the master lock series too, but i thought it was cool.
The neck crank is just cool, the kimura variation is the only move that i actually can pull off.
The kimura think is cool, but has a big time size threshold. Can you kimura someone like that with 50lbs of muscle on you? I believe the kimura variation is probably as low % as the neck crank. If a kimura was that simple, this wouldn't be an obscure variation, it would be the standard kimura grip. "If the shortcut were easy, it would just be the way".
I wish that were true, but as practitioners of 10th Planet, we know it isn't. Not in jiu jitsu or life.Quote:
