How to use Aikido for BJJ – Kote Hineri Kimura Plata Hybrid

This video is focused on the application of techniques and principals from Tomiki Aikido being applied to Submission Grappling context. I have been having great success with the Kimura System, using the Kimura, Cross Kimura or Power Kimura and the Kimura Plata or Tairikoplata. I realized that Kote Hineri was readily available and was straightforward to integrate with the Kimura variations I was already implementing in live training. I hope to give BJJ players a window into how Kote Hineri can be applied in a grappling context and also to give Aikidoka some perspective on how the Kote Hineri can be reinforced using the floor as well as various positional variations coming from BJJ.
