On August 23, 2025, RŌL Academy had the privilege of hosting John Kats for an incredible seminar focused entirely on the Kimura Lock System. 

The session covered the full Kimura pathway: from setups across multiple positions, to maintaining control, and flowing into finishes that work at every level of training or competition.

The entire event is available now on RĹŚL TV

For y’all who’ve been training for a bit:

I know a lot of people quit and move on, but how do you guys manage losing so many awesome training partners and friends even throughout the years? even though I’m happy when folks do what’s best for them, it’s weird when you go from seeing someone for hours each week and then nothing. And it sucks.
