  • Defence against a Kimura:
    It will not be very hard for your opponent to grab one of your wrists, but that doesn't mean much.
  • It is a warning signal, when the other hand passes on the same side of the head, where he graps one of your wrists already.
  • Don't let his hand go under your arm. If you can grab his wrist with his other hand, you are locked in a Kimura.
