Roy Harris Kimura Seminar in Sherbrooke was an Awesome Event!

We had a great time at the Roy Harris Seminar this weekend. We spent both days working on the Kimura armlock from many different positions. Mr. Harris showed a lot of essential details to tighten up the basic kimura and it's various entries, as well as several more obscure entries that are lesser known.

Roy was also nice enough to give us a few more hours of his time then expected, allowing us to get an even deeper understanding of this great submission.

We're looking forward to bringing Mr. Harris to Sherbrooke in the future.

Thanks everyone for attending and supporting the event!
