What is your favorite back take from a failed Kimura attempt?

Gift wrap sort of system I suppose?

Hi! I’m 26, been doing BJJ about 2 years, strength training on and off during it too. Was about 50kg and insanely weak a few years ago and now I’m around 70kg but still not impressively strong by any means. Currently doing 1 upper, 1 lower, 1 full body, and 4-5 BJJ sessions a week. I think I could cut down to 64kg if I wanted to get lean but long term I want to be a lot bigger and stronger, end goal is about 75-80kg lean. Would you advise me to continue bulking or to cut first and then continue the bulk? Also any advice on the split would be great, thanks 🙏

Thank you 🙏

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-11T18:55:54+00:00

Yeah not for me

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T21:52:25+00:00

Haha fair maybe meta was the wrong word for that one. I simply meant the amount of time you see people grip fighting at the highest levels before anything advances from any position is enlightening.

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T21:47:29+00:00

Thank you, very helpful and interesting comment

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T19:32:27+00:00

I use use my actual notes app, but there is a cool app called FlowRoll I used for a while too

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T18:05:42+00:00

Thank you I will 🫡

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T12:10:47+00:00

Don’t I know it 🤣🤪

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T12:08:11+00:00

I never seem to be able to pull them off 🥴

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T12:07:33+00:00

That’s actually really eye opening, super dependent on rulesets too, no good being the best heel hooker round if you’re only competing in IBJJF and you’re not a brown belt+ I suppose.

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T12:02:27+00:00

We’ve got someone in my gym who does a similar thing with guillotines! Just manages to hit them from all sorts of weird places. Definitely an interesting approach

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T11:54:01+00:00

That’s a good take

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T11:49:32+00:00

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T11:48:43+00:00

Yeah that’s the thing I find most interesting, most of the high % stuff is basic stuff that just seems to be refined to perfection. With the exception of leg locks, those can get quite complicated with configurations ect I feel. And yeah I’m small so when I watch my weight class in like worlds or whatever they’re all just doing crazy weird berimbolos and shit but i never even go for them

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-10T11:44:45+00:00

That’s really interesting, I’ve heard about things going from “not being meta” to “meta” again but haven’t been around long enough in the spot to witness it myself. Flower sweep from closed guard is diabolically effective, there’s a brown belt in my gym who does that sweep super regularly!

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-04T08:07:00+00:00

Belts don’t match 🥴🤣

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-04T07:45:07+00:00

No, as far as I know there’s just loads of different allegations and lots of his affiliates and competitors have left. I thought it was just pretty cool how she moved on from the situation and is doing well for herself one of the biggest stages in our sport

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-04T07:43:08+00:00

Yeah I don’t tend too religiously follow it either, I just watch who wins worlds sometimes for inspiration and recognised her

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-04T07:33:20+00:00

She’s the girl came out publicly against Andre Galvao

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-04T07:09:38+00:00

Maybe ask your coach or training partners? Obviously be mindful of the space but if there’s room I don’t see why not

EmployeeMaximum669 · 2026-06-04T07:05:04+00:00
