Fukuoka Amateur Shooto

This Wednesday is a national holiday here in Japan. Fukuoka is taking the opportunity to hold some amateur Shooto. This is not Kansai, so it is a bit out of my coverage objectives but my friend and occasional training partner Danny Brooking is competing in a freshman bout. Danny also trained for two weeks at Purebred so there is a vague connection.

Danny came to MMA from rock climbimng and has been winning every amateur tournament he has entered. This year he finally entered as a heavyweight, fighting at his usual 75kg. Here is some footage from his last tournament in Fukuoka.





Good luck to Danny. Miyazaki MMA represent.
