What kind of trainers are on your team?

Our team includes several trainers, including Issei Shima, our lead trainer and a former professional fighter who oversees our Roppongi base and Tokyo-area coverage as well as in-home lessons. Each trainer brings real competitive experience in martial arts or other sports. Please see the profile section on this page for each trainer's background and service area.

Can I request a specific trainer?

What is the background of your lead trainer?

Issei Shima. He has competed in approximately 70 bouts across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and karate, with rankings that include Rajadamnern Stadium-certified S-Welterweight #9 in Thailand and WPMF Japan Welterweight #5.

Do you offer women-only time slots?

Can I train in English?

Yes. We offer instruction in Japanese and English. Language availability may vary by trainer, so please let us know your preference when booking. We also have extensive experience serving affluent clients and international guests.

Is it suitable for beginners?
