Kimura trap system
Also known as Kimura Trap — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: full system name
Standard name — Kimura Trap controlling system
Kimura trap system is the full name for the Kimura Trap — the controlling-system framework built around the kimura grip as a multi-purpose positional control that flows into sweeps, back takes, and submissions.
Etymology. “System” attaches the framework-vs-technique category: the Kimura Trap is not a single submission but a controlling pattern that produces many attacking options. “Kimura trap” is the canonical name; “system” qualifies the framework-scope.
Mechanics. The kimura grip serves as the structural anchor for the system’s many attack chains — the figure-four configuration controls the opponent’s shoulder while opening sweep, back-take, and submission options simultaneously.
Cross-reference. “Kimura lock” is the alternate name; “kimura grip” is the underlying configuration. Full mechanical coverage on Kimura Trap.
