2 Part Lesson — Marcelo explains his opinion on Sacrifice Techniques: [I] Rather than playing it safe by kicking the opponent away, or reversing his Kimura Trap into an Armbar, gain the top position that he gives up by driving him flat after the dive. Use your shoulder to close the gap and stay close when he tries to curl up and lock on an Armbar of his own with the Kimura Trap. This option is ideal because it can handle both choices of rolling over either shoulder; if he looks toward your head on the roll, come up on top and spin to the other side to avoid the submission. [II] If you're a beginner using the X-Guard, preemptively defend against the Kimura by never letting the opponent entangle your arm; keep your elbow close to your body while searching for your X-Guard Attack. If you're more advanced, keep cautious over your arm when you look to reach for grips; if he kamikazes over your arm, claim the top position and make him pay for the sacrifice.
