Now, after decades of development, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu has become one of the techniques required by MMA athletes. In the development of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, there is such a person who has special significance for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is known as Masahiko Kimura, the most powerful judoctoral "Ghost Kimura" in history. So, who is Kimura Masahiko? What special significance does he have to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?
Kimura Masahiko was born in 1917 in Kyushu Kumamoto. At the age of ten, he entered the "Tantongliu of Takeuchi" dojo to learn judo . Kimura won the fourth judo stage of the Order Hall in high school and led his high school to win the Japanese National Assembly. His name spread throughout Japan. He is only 16 years old this year. Kimura met Niu Daocheng, a judoctoral fellow, during his college years.
In early 1950, Kimura joined the Professional Wrestling League at the invitation of Japanese wrestling godfather Ridoshan and became a professional wrestler. However, his record and reputation in the wrestling arena have always been inferior to Lidaoshan. Some reports pointed out that because Li Daoshan is a Korean-Japanese, he does not want a purely Japanese Kimura to have a better record than himself. Therefore, it is unfair to arrange the game.
In 1951, Masahiko Kimura, Yamaguchi Ryu and Yukio Kato went to Brazil to perform wrestling, where he taught judo. Among them, Kato Yuki and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master Elio Gracie played two games under the rules of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In the first game, the two were evenly matched, and in the second game, Ellau turned the game and won.
A month later, in order to revenge his compatriots, Kimura Masahiko "fights to death" with Ario under the gaze of 30,000 viewers. Before the game, Ellaut prepared a coffin to show his determination to die. Yoshihiko Kimura eventually threw Ario to the ground, then controlled his left arm and suddenly pulled it back. At this moment, the crisp sound of the fracture echoed in the silent venue. Even though he broke his arm, Erio refused to surrender. The onlooker noticed that he was in a critical condition and had to give in to the end of the battle. Yoshihiko Kimura recalled the war many years later: "He was really a fighting spirit, and he would fight again even if his wrist and bone fractures were broken. Although I won the game, when it comes to my obsession with the game, I was really far behind."
