WRESTLING'S DOUBLE WRIST LOCK / JIUJITSU'S UDE GARAME

'A lot of takedowns from the Judo style and the Catch Wrestling style have similarities, likely resulting from the exchange of ideas between the Japanese and the American and European wrestlers when the two cultures met to compete from the late 1890's onwards. There is a ton of information out there on the competitive interactions between the two, better served for a history thread, but the rivalry between the two styles grew into a relationship of mutual respect, with Jigoro Kano and Mitsuyo Maeda believing in the value of learning wrestling to add to his Jiu Jitsu / Judo, and Wrestlers from Martin Burns, Frank Gotch, Georg Hackenschmidt and later Ed Lewis believing in the value of learning Jiu Jitsu / Judo to add to their wrestling. Ad Santel, a contemporary and sparring partner of Frank Gotch, defeated members of the Kodokan at their own game and declared himself Judo world champion, later losing a match and relinquishing this made up title. Santel was the key instrument in bringing wrestling to Japan in the early 20th century.

The most permeating version of the Double Wrist Lock is the British / European style, as both Billy Robinson and Karl Gotch taught Antonio Inoki's New Japan Pro Wrestlers that version, and it can be seen carried on by Yoshiaki Fujiwara (considered Gotch's best student, and the only man Gotch willingly endorsed to teach his style) and his students Masakatsu Funaki and Minoru Suzuki, as well as Billy Robinson trained wrestlers Kiyoshi Tamura, Kazushi Sakuraba, and Billy Scott, to name but a few.'

'The kimura lock, also called double wristlock (catch wrestling), chicken wing or gyaku ude-garame (judo) is a grappling submission hold of uncertain origin, being catch wrestling and judo the likely authors of the position.

The lock was also utilized in freestyle wrestling, being Robin Reed one of the most decorated spreaders of the position, having paved the way to a gold medal at the 1924 Paris Summer Olympics with several pins performed with the use of the double wristlock.'

'The brothers Dave and Mark Schultz, former collegiate champions from Oklahoma, were accused of ''excessive brutality'' in their Olympic matches today, and a special official was assigned to monitor the rest of their bouts.
The brothers each wrestled once in the afternoon, and each opponent went to the hospital...............

Mark Schultz, 23 years old, broke the left elbow of the 180.5-pound European champion, Resit Karabachak of Turkey, 30 seconds into the match on the takedown.
Earlier, Saban Sejdi of Yugoslavia suffered a knee injury in a match with Dave Schultz in the 163-pound class........

Angry Turkish officials accused Mark Schultz of using an illegal hold and demanded that he be disqualified. The president of the International Wrestling Federation, Milan Ercegan of Yugoslavia, subsequently ruled that the double wrist lock was illegal and declared Karabachak the winner.'

The forearm shove in the first version shown here, if it were converted to a full power elbow strike, could clearly translate to a self-defence application (I wouldn't try the rolling takedown after it, though)

'Ude garami, or bent arm lock, can be done many ways and from different positions in Kodokan Judo. The opponent's arm can be bent upwards towards the head or down towards the legs. It often uses considerable twisting action that can injure the shoulder as well as the primary target of the elbow joint.'

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and MMA, the same technique is generally referred to as the 'Kimura', named after the judoka who broke BJJ's founder Helio Gracie's arm with it.
