The Hip Kimura by Mike Gardner
The kimura is more than a shoulder lock — it’s a control system. In The Hip Kimura, Mike Gardner breaks down how to use hip positioning, angle control, and body mechanics to turn the kimura into a dominant attacking platform from multiple positions
Instead of relying on arm strength, you’ll learn how to connect your hips, core, and structure to generate tight, inescapable control
This approach doesn’t just improve your finishing rate — it opens sweeps, back takes, transitions, and positional dominance.
The “Hip Kimura” concept transforms a common submission into a complete system that works in gi, no-gi, and MMA.
