Scramble Matt took a trip to Tokyo recently and this is the result.

It’s basically me getting my butt kicked at three jiu jitsu classes.

I can’t say enough great things about the fight community in Tokyo – so helpful, friendly, welcoming – not to mention tough.

I visited Rikako Yuasa at Jewels BJJ class, Nakamura Daisuke at Grabaka, and Hiroyuki Abe at AACC gym for a spot of no gi / catch. Ouch!

I had visions of much more footage of Tokyo but sadly it rained most of every day which limited the amount of filming I could do. So just enjoy gratuitous jiu jitsu rolling.

Hiroyuki Abe
Daisuke Nakamura

I highly recommend visiting all three if you find yourself in Tokyo.

Special thanks to Kinya Hashimoto and Takehiro Iso for looking after me during the trip.
