Filthy Casual's Guide to Kazushi Sakuraba: The Kimura

I'm on a deep dive of Shooto and early MMA bare knuckle events hunting for leg lock transitions and finishes. Nothing new under the sun found so far, to be honest. Sure, some refined handfighting sequences and transitions between primary leg locking positions are now much more clearly understood (though as evidenced by Lachlan Giles' ADCC performance not by that many) has been done in the past 5 years or so, but overall, there's only so many ways the legs can be entangled and thus there is a knowable Matrix of possibilities overall.
