@Svittidiu Catch wrestlers were grappling with judo masters in the early 1900s; there was a lot of crossover. Ad Santel, for instance, defeated a whole string of Judoka, which led the japanese obsession with shoot wrestling.

@rocknroll1984 Do you happen to know if they invented the gyaku ude-garami in China/Japan and then exported it into catch wrestling or did they come up with it on their own in catch wrestling?

@rocknroll1984 Erik is a Judo and Sambo practitioner also.

Since no one can agree, let's call it a chickenwing.

Really? The whole page is about the name of the move and not the move itself? The move itself is awesome. Focus on the move, not the name. I swear, JuJit. is going the way of TKD and traditional karate. Who cares about a name? Well, obviously y'all do. Worry about the application. That's where it matters.

Thiz iz def a kimura variation..behind tha back iz a kimura,to tha head is a keylock.

Tomato...Tomahto. Although It Is Formally Called "Gi" In Other Systems, It's Sometimes Called "Kimono" In BJJ. Thanks For The Correction Though.

Although "Gi" is really the proper term for the practice uniform. Not a big deal. Call it what you like.
You know what? As long as my coach teaches me the correct positions, angles, and leverages that I need to execute a submission; he can call it anything he wants. The name isn't the issue. It's arguing about the name that I think is stupid. Besides that, the Japanese have been calling the "Kimura" the "Ude Garami" way before the Brazilians called it a "Kimura". Aside from that, some people call the "Keylock" the "Americana". Who cares? So long as it works.

yes but in catch wrestling they use the terms chicken wing, key lock, figure four arm lock to describe a kimura or an americana(key lock). erik paulson is a catch wrestler. also if you want to get technical it's real name is gyaku ude-garami(reverse arm entanglement).
