I watch Gracie a lot now because I watch him with my son Because he don't know that you know his idea of like oh, let's play fight right and he always wants to play fight So what is it? He's kicking me he's punching me and stuff like that and he's like lit No, no, so all like grab them and block his punches whatever and I'll put him in like a choke or whatever. We're not doing jujitsu. We're fighting. That's what he'd say he thinks you just was just fun like a game And then he'll think the real fighting is just a punching and kicking part. People just didn't understand this.

An author said," In the history of judo, no one is the strongest before Kimura and no one is the strongest after Kimura."^[4] He has often been described as the strongest judoka in history.^[5] In submission grappling, the reverse ude-garami arm lock is often called the "Kimura",^[6] due to his famous victory over Gracie jiu-jitsu founder Hélio Gracie. In the Japanese professional wrestling world, he is known for the controversial match he had with Rikidōzan.
