Kimura from Standing vs Seated Guard
Use this when passing a seated guard and the opponent creates a wedge on one side. It solves the problem of completing the pass while securing control by attacking the arm during the pass. The mechanism is creating an opening in their defensive wedge, then rolling into it to hook the arm over your shoulder and establish top position with the Kimura already locked.
