Would you like to take your jiujitsu life to the next level with Imanari Jiujitsu? Those who are not familiar with Masakazu Imanari are invited to join as well.
Mission
【To spread Masakazu Imanari’s system of unique techniques】
Grappling and jiujitsu, especially leglocks have garnered global attention in today’s martial arts world.
Our mission is to teach the art and intricate details of Imanari Jiujitsu and the internationally known Imanari roll.
【Recruiting teams and dojos to join the Imanari Jiujitsu Association (branch) 】
We are currently looking for teams and dojos that would like to learn Imanari Jiujitsu directly from the source. According to the revised IBJJF provisions, belt promotions will not be acknowledged unless affiliated to an association with a third-degree black belt or higher. A second or third-degree black belt is necessary when promoting an interim black or brown belt. Masakazu Imanari can recommend a promotion or personally promote those from teams or dojos in areas with no qualifying black belt. (Belt promotion criteria and association regulations below)
