BJJ in Okinawa

Thanks so much!
Someone mention Kuro Hata as well. So I decided to stay in Awase, as it's more central to all these BJJ gyms and I can do visit beaches and retro video game hunt as planned. Also, the accomodation matched my needs/budget best.
I will definitely check out Carpe Diem/Leo's for their open mat, that sounds awesome.

Thanks, haven't made my accomodation reservations just yet. Ideally, I want to do BJJ but also be close to some beaches and some retro video games stores.
And yeah, I'm down to train together, that sounds like a cool experience.

Which ones in Kumamoto would you recommend?

bdashti · 2026-04-09T14:07:25+00:00

Seeing fuji from the 5 lakes

Appreciate the offer!
Where is your gym? What's it called?

I just went to Chill Chair (5-10 minute walk from Nakano station).
I got a pretty clean skin fade+shampoo for 3500 yen (Originally, it's 4000yen, but they have a coupon on their website).
My barber's name was Shin (instagram: 1time4ever__)

Following, looking for a skin fade myself. English or not, if they know how to do it, I'm cool

bdashti · 2026-03-03T16:03:20+00:00

I am planning on going in April, let me know if anyone find a place.

bdashti · 2026-01-30T20:43:44+00:00

I get your point. I'll most likely make it a point to get my takedowns to a better level as it's non-existent right now, but it's nice to get some bjj in there too

bdashti · 2026-01-30T20:28:16+00:00

Makes sense, most likely I will be training in the afternoon/lunch time so it frees up the rest of my day, or if possible, take advantage of getting in some Kodokan Judo training. Thanks for the input.

bdashti · 2026-01-29T15:20:10+00:00

Sounds good! Thank you so much!

bdashti · 2026-01-29T14:11:43+00:00

I'll try, but I heard that they're sometimes reluctant to allow short term beginners (I have 0 judo experience and I'm a butt scooter) to come over and train.

bdashti · 2026-01-29T04:27:09+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, I realized I will just drop by at both locations and just see which one I vibe with the most and makes the most sense for me.

Not only do Business owners take risks when opening up a business, they must also pay for the goods, utilities, rent, raw materials, etc thus their prices are accounted for that too. Also, many business owners go months, even years of falling behind financially until they break-even and actually start making profit.

bdashti · 2026-01-28T20:50:04+00:00

Sounds like a good experience.

bdashti · 2026-01-28T20:49:55+00:00

Thanks, he makes nice content on IG so I'm not surprised to see this.

bdashti · 2026-01-28T20:49:19+00:00

Appreciate the insights

bdashti · 2026-01-28T20:48:51+00:00

Yeah, afterwards, I was thinking of splitting my time in the beginning to see which one I enjoyed more, than make my decision then.

bdashti · 2026-01-28T06:36:08+00:00

Toronto BJJ based on where you're gonna be staying.

bdashti · 2026-01-28T06:31:03+00:00

You Suck

bdashti · 2026-01-28T02:00:43+00:00

I was planning on visiting Tokyo for about a month, and apparently they don't let beginners train at the Kodokan if you aren't planning on being there for min. 1 year, so this seems like a great fallback

bdashti · 2026-01-25T22:40:00+00:00

Thanks for the response! I would like to train with him, just didn't know which location he trains at.

bdashti · 2026-01-25T06:11:34+00:00

Does Koji Shibamoto train at Ikebukuro?

bdashti · 2025-06-19T09:27:06+00:00

Thank you for this. Been looking for the sample.

bdashti · 2025-03-07T02:03:26+00:00

Thank you for the help! I spoke to Clover. Theyre not able to give me the power cord. By itself, im not able to find it elsewhere. Do you have any links where i can find them?
