Ude-Garami is one of the official 29 grappling techniques of Kodokan Judo. It is one of the nine joint techniques of the Kansetsu-waza list, one of the three grappling lists in Judo's Katame-waza [1] enumerating 29 grappling techniques.[2] All of Judo's competition legal joint techniques are arm locks.

[edit] Technique History

In 1951, Masahiko Kimura defeated Helio Gracie in an Ultimate Fight when he applied Ude Garami on Helio, to which Helio refused to surrender, resulting in a broken elbow. Due to the broken elbow, Helio's corner threw in the towel, resulting in a TKO win for Masahiko. Ude Garami has since been called Kimura in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

[edit] Americana

In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Ude-Garami is referred to as the Americana when the lock is rotated towards the head. In the video, Martial Arts Gracie jiu Jitsu, Royce Gracie demonstrates defending the Americana by shifting to a side and planting his arm flat against the mat preventing Rorion Gracie from being able to achieve the lock.
