Genie Variation Kimura from Side Control

Use this when the opponent defends the standard side control Kimura by keeping their hand off the floor and resisting arm extension. It solves the finishing problem by compressing the forearm instead of extending the shoulder. The mechanism is the modified grip that creates simultaneous shoulder pressure and painful forearm compression.
