Submission · Half Guard
A straight armlock: his elbow is hyperextended over your shin, which works as the fulcrum. It comes from the tripod (T-kimura) when he lies flat and straightens the arm to escape the bent kimura. Keep his wrist with both hands and slide your shin under his upper arm, just above the elbow. Turn his palm up so the back of the elbow rests on your shin, then lean your weight over it while you push his wrist toward the mat. The pressure goes against the elbow joint, not into the shoulder. The detail beginners miss is the fulcrum: it must sit just above the elbow, because higher on the arm it only lifts the shoulder. He defends by bending the arm again, which puts the kimura back on. Apply slowly, because a straight armlock breaks quickly.
From the tripod with the kimura grip, partner alternates bending and straightening the arm; you switch between the kimura and the shin lever without releasing the wrist. Ten switches each side.
A straight elbow lever over a hard fulcrum breaks fast: push slowly, release at the tap.
