Scramble TV: Tokyo 2012

www.scramblestuff.com
Scramble Matt took a trip to Tokyo recently and this is the result. Please read on below for the full details of the video!
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.
Rikako:

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.

I like how he's constantly smiling. He's keeping it playful.

[@Shogunita]

This is a great video. It's crazy how Rikako said she doesn't think she can be a champion at black belt. Look at her now. Thanks for the video!

[@BooLee01]

He's so awesome. I loved it at 10:00 when he made this, "Help me, I'm getting choked" gesture and then slipped right out of it.

[@grapplingdummies]

Updated description with link... It's Dakha Brakha. God knows how I found it... awesome innit!

[@88hopkins]

love the way nakamura just smiling while he's rolling.

[@BJJHacks]

[@grapplingdummies]

He did it the whole time! He rolled for hours, wasn't phased by anything anyone there threw at him.

[@iamjason9240]

Holy shit Nakamura has been training for seven years only?
I guess he got his blackbelt real quick.

[@grapplingdummies]
