Gustavo Dantas Kimura Setup from Side Control
Gustavo Dantas, a black belt in a white gi, has side control locked down tight. He's kneeling with one knee on the student's torso, the other on the mat. His right hand grips the student's left sleeve. His left hand grabs the right collar. This is an Advanced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Gustavo Dantas tutorial, and it's all about the kimura.
The student on bottom is trying to bridge. He's fighting for space, but Dantas keeps his weight heavy. He shifts his grip from the sleeve to the wrist. Now he's got the left wrist in his right hand and the right lapel in his left. The setup is coming together. Dantas cross-faces with the lapel grip, controlling the student's head and making the bridge useless.
Here's where it gets interesting. Dantas starts rotating that left arm toward the ceiling. The student keeps it tight to his body, resisting hard. But Dantas adjusts his knee placement, driving more pressure into the torso. He's cooking something. The arm is getting closer to that breaking point with every second.
Can the student survive the pressure and escape? Or will Dantas finish the kimura and prove why the setup is so effective?
