Kimura from Side Control

Use this standard finish when you've secured the Kimura grip from top side control. It addresses the problem of finishing the shoulder lock by creating the proper angle and preventing escape. The mechanism is stepping above their head to block sit-up attempts while sitting back to generate leverage on the shoulder joint.
