What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
There is no hitting or kicking, and grappling is the main martial art. It is a sport that is rapidly gaining popularity around the world, as it is highly safe and easy for amateurs to start, and many Hollywood stars and celebrities are enthusiasts, and Google and Facebook have incorporated it into their welfare programs. In recent years, it has become popular as a professional sport, especially in the United States.

I started jiu-jitsu in Vancouver, Canada, where I studied abroad. As chess using the body is often described, he became absorbed in the fun of jiu-jitsu, which combines athletic elements and strategic elements, and began spending days practicing and competing in addition to his studies. Being able to make friends all over the world with just one thing in common, “I love jiu-jitsu,” is one of life’s treasures. I will do my best to convey the charm of jiu-jitsu to everyone! Let's have fun together!

I live in Iwakuni with my Japanese wife and daughter. I want to give back to the community that accepted me through jiu-jitsu. Every day I make new discoveries while doing jiu-jitsu. You can get a glimpse of your limits in a match. Strong bonds with teammates. Everyone is equal on the mat. We look forward to seeing you all in Leos.

When I was in junior high and high school, I belonged to the judo club and was good at ground fighting. I wanted to start something new after becoming a member of society, so I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the introduction of an acquaintance. I was originally good at ground fighting, so I underestimated jiu-jitsu, but I remember that I was completely out of touch with white belt members in ground fighting. That's what got me into jiu-jitsu. The motto is to keep practicing and having fun.
