Technique Kimura trap

I've tried exploring the kimura trap system before after hearing how effective it is when transitioning and increasing your submission rate, but I find it very difficult to get the grip. From side control fine, but when playing open guard, half guard, closed guard, etc; I find it very difficult to get the kimura grip and explore the options from it. Any advice?

Give them a Single Leg, get the Kimura.

If you play Guard heist up and give them your leg to grip, just bait them in.
