5 actual submission holds that are used in the WWE

#2 Kimura - Brock Lesnar

The Kimura lock is a mainstay in the MMA circuit. The lock was named after judo legend Masahiko Kimura who used the move to break the arm of MMA great Helio Grace in 1955. The current wrestling fans will recognize this as the move used by Brock Lesnar.

WWE made Lesnar’s version look devastating and rightfully so. The Kimura has the capability of breaking someone’s arm in a real life situation and WWE made good use of the fact to push forward their kayfabe storylines. Lesnar might not be using the lock with the same frequency with which he used to, but that is going to change sooner or later.
