Tarsis shows a Kimura from the side control, using the same set up as the armbar he showed in the last position. First he grabs the arm at the biceps, pulls it across and steps his leg over the head. Now he is unable to trap the wrist between his head and shoulder because his opponent slides his arm out. Tarsis immediately changes his grip to a Kimura lock. Now he pulls the arm away from his opponent's body, and then brings it up and over to finish the Kimura.

Tarsis shows another takedown he likes to use, the kata guruma, or fireman's carry. He starts by getting collar and sleeve grips, and pulls his opponent down. When his opponent reacts by posturing up, Tarsis lets go of the sleeve, steps between the legs and sits down as he grabs his opponent's leg. Now he dumps him over to the side, and comes on top, already in the leg drag position, where he can easily pass the guard.Add to Favorites 1162 Remove From Favorites 3310 days ago
