Having trained at a number of these gyms, and knowing the professional fighters and trainers there, I would be happy to recommend one depending on your training preferences and location.
Note that most of these gyms do not offer information or instruction in English, but I have not found this a problem. Rather than trying to contact them, it is often best to visit the gym in the evening and speak to someone there. Someone with some, or at least limited English ability should be able to help you.
I’m going to post about it soon!
Did you find Dobuita or Rodeo Style?
Thanks admin, I’m looking for also a gym near Akihabara, because is very near at Funabashi

Hey all,
Just a quick note to let you know, the AACC website has changed to:
http://www.aacc-sports.jp/
It’s a great gym, and very beginner friendly.
Thank you Bryce!
You’ll find an email address on the About page. Thanks!
Hey buddy,
THanks for the blog! Quick question I am located between Yoyogi and Shinjuku. Which gym would you recommend? On that note, I love Muay thai!
Btw Have you had the chance to go to deep impact?
There are a number of gyms to choose from around there. You looking for a Muay Thai gym?

Hi guys!
I’ve got a little question, and I’m sure that most of you will be able to provide me with precious information!
I’ve been practicing Krav Maga at “Kravmaga Japan” for 8 months now. Kravmaga in Japan is… unfortunately very soft. I used to practice Kung-Fu Sanda for 4 years back in my home country, and it was much more intense, but not as intense as what I used to hear from people practicing Kravmaga at that time. So I was expecting it to be very tough, I was expecting to go home and not having enough energy to eat, just wanting to rape my bed. That is how I used to feel after a good training session of Kung-Fu Sanda.
But instead it is very soft, and I’m guessing that it’s because Kravmaga is very new to Japan.
So, here comes my question: I don’t want to go to sports like kingboxing or muay thai, which I know that Japanese people are very good at, simply because it’s not what I’m looking for. I want to keep practicing a martial art that is in the line of kravmaga: practical, efficient, realistic. Any recommendations?
Btw I live in Tokyo. Thanks in advance, and thank you for reading this long ass comment!!
I’m in Fussa, Tokyo and desperately need to start training here. I just PCS’d here to Yokota AB and I dont mind driving to a nearby area to train as well! Please email me if you can!
Hello Sir:
I’m a black belt and professor of Jiujitsu under Relson Gracie living currently in the United States. Does anyone have an email list of gyms or schools that may be looking for a teacher/coach? I also have a Judo black belt (and completed the summer black belt throwing techniques camp at the Kodokan) and am an instructor in JKD and Filipino Martial Arts under Guru Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee’s protege).
Thanks for any information you can give me about applying to positions. I also am a lawyer and would be interested in teaching American Law and Gracie Jiujitsu at a university.
Kind regards,

Hi Steven,
Do you speak Japanese?
Hi Kevin,
There are some who practice Krav Maga at the Shinjuku Sports Center on Saturdays. I don’t have any other information on that at the moment but I’ll contact you when I do.
Hey, I tried to sign up at Golds Gym Omori and after an hour of paper work and talk was told I actually couldn’t because of my tattoos. arms / knuckles / neck etc…
Do you know if I could train at AACC without going through Golds…. or of anywhere that is ok with tattoos?
Thanks.
Maybe if you contact Hiroyuki AbeAni Abe through FB or Twitter, but usually unless tattoos are covered (neck and knuckles is a difficult one) Gold’s can be funny about it.
There are plenty of gyms that won’t bother but it depends on where you are willing to travel to.
