In 1955 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), Kimura, at 38 years old, participated in a match in which he defeated Hélio Gracie ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) of the famous Gracie Jiu Jitsu ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) family in a submission judo match held in Brazil ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). During the fight, Kimura threw Gracie repeatedly with ippon-seoinage ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) (one arm shoulder throw), osotogari (major outer sweep), and haraigoshi (sweeping hip throw). Kimura reportedly threw Gracie repeatedly in an effort to knock him unconscious. However, the floor of the fighting area was apparently too soft to allow this to happen. Kimura also inflicted painful, suffocating grappling techniques on Gracie such as kuzure-kamishiho-gatame ([Only registered and activated users can see links]_four_quarter_hold_down) (modified upper four corner hold), kesa-gatame ([Only registered and activated users can see links]-gatame) (scarf hold), and sankaku-gatame (triangle choke ([Only registered and activated users can see links])).

Finally, thirteen minutes into the bout, Kimura positioned himself to apply a reverse ude-garami ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) (arm entanglement, a shoulderlock ([Only registered and activated users can see links])). Gracie refused to submit, even after his arm broke, forcing Kimura to continue the lock on Gracie's broken arm. At this point, Carlos Gracie, Helio's older brother, threw in the towel to end the match to protect his brother's health. In 1994 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), Helio admitted in an interview that he had in fact been choked unconscious ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) earlier in the match, but had revived and continued fighting.
As a tribute to Kimura's victory, the reverse ude-garami ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) technique has since been commonly referred to as the Kimura lock ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), or simply the Kimura, in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) and, more recently, mixed martial arts ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) circles.
