Lock In The Reverse Kimura For The Win! 🔥👇

This week in Freak For The Technique, we check out how you can throw up an excellent Triangle to Baratoplata sequence from closed guard - using the reverse kimura grip to really lock it in. 🔥 

Starting with the reverse kimura before moving to the triangle gives great control over the opponent's arm, allowing you to work on getting your leg through.

From there, your opponent will need to defend the triangle or risk calling it quits right there and then. If they defend by hunkering down and keeping their arm on the inside - you can punch your own arm through, grab your hip and apply the nasty but nifty, baratoplata 😬
