In Brazilian jujutsu, The Kimura lock is one of the most important submission methods. This move is found in other fighting styles and maybe referred to as a hammerlock, a chicken wing, or ude-garami. The Kimura lock was named after Masahiko Kimura, who was one of the most well-known and respected Judo athletes of all time. In 1952, while in Brazil, he fought a famous match against non other than Helio Gracie, the founder of Brazilian jujutsu. The famous match lasted 13 minutes, which surprised Kimura because Helio Gracie was much smaller than him. His winning move was an arm lock that ended the match abruptly. Almost 50 years after that notorious match in Brazilian jujutsu history, the arm lock that defeated Helio Gracie was named the "Kimura Lock" to pay homage the Kimura's exceptional abilities. The Kimura lock is a very versatile move which can be applied from close guard, open guard, north-south position, and from the mount, but can additionally work from the side mount, half guard, half mount, turtle, standing, and even from the back.
