メッセージ
I started training Jiujitsu at Ryan Gracie in Japan in 2003. As a brown belt I went to train at Impacto Bjj and in 2013 I graduated to a black belt. I fought several championships in Japan up to the black belt.“be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.”
this is Carlos Gracie’s message. And I believe that jiujitsu is not just technique because it helps you with self-control, self-esteem, stress and your fears.

Bio
I was a member of the basketball team in elementary, junior high, and high school. And although I had no specific martial arts experience, I started fighting at the age of 29 as a fitness activity and enjoyed it so much that I actively competed in amateur tournaments, making my first appearance in amateur Shuto in 2019 and grabbing a professional promotion that same year.
In 2020, I made my professional debut in Shuto, and in 2021 I competed in QUINTET, which is produced by Kazushi Sakuraba.
I hope to convey the message that grappling, jiu-jitsu can be enjoyed no matter what age you start, and that you can become stronger if you work diligently.
Hobby
I love sneakers and making things.
I like cooking, sweets, accessories, dog collars and harnesses, custom sneakers, and other things that I want to make.

Nickname Shoji

“Flexible, beautiful, strong”

Nice to meet you all!
Eight years have passed since I moved to Okinawa.
My name is SHOJI and I am an animal flow instructor.
After studying sports and physical education at a university of physical education in the Kanto region, he moved to Okinawa.
As a trainer, I got completely bored with weight training, which I loved so much.
I discovered animal flow, which does not require any equipment,
The more I do it, the more I not only feel the changes in my own body, but I am also fascinated by its movement, breathing, and appearance.
Currently working as a trainer within the prefecture,
As a hobby, he often travels inside and outside the prefecture as a basketball referee.
Next year, I am planning to go on an expedition to Paris as part of my hobby as a referee.
In our class, we will provide you with a feminine, supple, beautiful, and powerful flow.
