The side triangle links with the kimura system. In a situation where you start off against your training partner in a seated guard position you are looking to step in and attain back control. As this will be a battle for grips, you want to connect with your opponent’s shoulders, biceps, and neck. You put yourself in the perfect position to lock up a simple kimura attack by taking a step in towards your opponent. Danaher demonstrates the “T Kimura” position with his opponent’s back on his stomach. The only counter your opponent has is to turn in towards you due to the kimura lock. When your training partner turns into you then you should slow him down by lifting the elbow, giving you space to bring your knee underneath the trapped arm. Now you can swing your leg over your training partner’s head. As he fights to come up all you have to do is kick through, getting your belly to the ground and punching your legs through, allowing you to lock up an incredibly tight triangle that will cause your opponent to quickly tap.
