here is something i just learned the kimura arm lock was named in 1951after a match in which Helio Gracie lost to Masahiko Kimura they named it that in his honor. I thought it was a cool fact so i thought i would share.

Well it was already a submission before that I believe, but they gave it a Brazilian name in his honor I think
