[Host] Kazuki Umemura
I received my black belt from Marcelo Alonso, 6th degree black belt under Master Carlson Gracie.
I was born in Japan, and when I was 18 years old, I studied abroad in the U.S. to train BJJ and get a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Washington. Over the course of my BJJ journey, I have gained substantial experience competing and teaching BJJ in both Japan and the U.S. I am strongly passionate about improving the quality of others' lives, especially 40+ year olds, through teaching BJJ. My motto is "Today is the youngest you'll ever be."

I keep hearing "neck attacks" when you say "leg attacks", haha. But then you talk about kneebars and toe holds. Thank you for a great video.
Waiting till brown belt for legs nowadays is obsolete. Been doing those for years now.
Advice on where I can visit a class or open mat? I’m staying in Tokyo, Iitabashi area, end of June to mid h July 2024. Im also coming from Seattle, Marcelo Alonso student. I’d love to drop into an open mat at least once. Thank you!
hope your still teaching I can tell how passionate you are about it. OSS
2024 and this is still a great video you covered a lot of questions i was thinking to myself, if I go to japan ever i would like to visit this academy. greetings from USA, Florida
Just discovered your channel and love your content. I plan on visiting Japan with my daughters who train and compete in BJJ. It would be awesome if they could train with you for a few days while were there.
Well, it’s in the name of the school. “Newaza” is a judo term!
Oh my god BJJ is that deadly
Thanks for the info, this is a treasure trove for those visiting Japan and planning to train there as well.
Thanks for the video! I just got my brown belt a few weeks ago and I’m of course going through the usually “imposter syndrome” stage! The best advice I heard for getting over this is that your coach knows a hell of a lot more about jiu jitsu than you do, so trust his judgment.
this channel should be more popular. JS
Post more man!
My professor gave me the brown belt a year ago and I couldn't handle the pressures that comes with it... you turn into one big bulls eye and EVERYONE wants to kick your ass. My last roll with a strong blue belt was humbling to say the least... I want to come back and prove my mental. At 57 it's gonna be a tough rode back.
😂😂😂😂Its not uncommon lol👉oss
Holy ! Been a while, please do more vids. This channel got fans.
Haha Thank you for your words! I definitely should!!
New video. Awesome
Thank you!!
spent 300.00 $ υs brown belt contract, tryed to get out of the contract, nooooo, still had to pay the invoice.
Kazuki I love your videos and insights. Thanks so much for posting such great techniques and your perspectives.
Thank you for your comment!!
Get a better a Gi bro!
What a stupid comment, do not say doofus shit.
What has happened to all the great tutorials on this channel?
Hi! I want to train in tokyo for a month, do you have a recommendation for a judo-based bjj school?
What an awesome video! Can’t wait to train there next time I go. Arigato gozaimasu
Thank you sir
Who says BJJ doesn't work against multiple attackers?
Would be cool if you visited a kosen judo place. I don't see any youtube videos like that
How about 50+ starting out would be great too see.
Seattle native here, been training for a bit over two years and visiting Japan in April. Considering bringing a gi with me to maybe do some training while I'm there, but I'm curious what the drop-in culture is like. The late class times might be an issue but could be worth it I think. 日本の観点から見れて嬉しいです。貴重な動画をありがとうございます。
Awesome! Come visit my team.! instagram.com/tokyojiujitsuclub?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
@@tokyojiujitsuclub Totally! If it looks like I can swing it I'll definitely DM you. Thanks prof!
great video i'm from France and here a lot of guy me included started by judo when we were younger even the coach in my gym are all bjj black belt but also judo black belt so our bjj is a lot of standing we dont pull the guard very often that's very interesting to see how bjj is different depending on the country like usa were i would assume there is a lot of wrestler i love that all the best oss from France
how do japanese jūjutsu 柔術 and kodokan judo 柔道, look against BJJ? do they see it as an attack on their martial art or do they respect it? 🥋🙏
Holy shit, thank you oss
OSSSS
I’ll be visiting Tokyo March 9, 10 and 11 maybe if the timing is right I’ll drop in. Do you charge a drop in fee?
Sorry for the late reply. You would be very welcomed! Yes 1,500 yen per time!
I really want to live in japan one day yet expand my martial arts. Learning BJJ in a country I've always loved would be a dream come true
Awesome!!
Also I love spider guard!
Nice!
Have you been to yuki nakai's gym?
Yes! Of course!!
I am a white belt with 2 stripes ! This video is Gold. Thank you!
I'll be going to Japan soon for Kyokushin karate, but would like to keep up with my BJJ. This video series would be helpful. Interesting that you say Osu like we do in karate.
Awesome. Have a fun trip! Haha We say it all the time!
I'm over 40 and started BJJ four months ago. It has been a wild four months, and sadly I do not use Facebook to join your group. I am planning a long term trip (30+ days) to the Kyoto area, and look forward to finding training situations like this. Seems things are doing well for you, if you rebranded from Kazuki's to Tokyo bjj club.
Cool. Thanks for the comment! I hope you'll find a good academy there. Feel free to drop by TJC too if you have a chance
I just came from Grit, where I met Toshi and he helped me pick out a new BJJ gi! Great shop, I will definitely be back!
Cool! Toshi is one of the nicest guys outthere!
Koyama san is my spirit animal
hahaha I'll tell him that!
Nice 👍🏼 - only a 2 stripe purple belt, but they let us do leg attacks in class - I use ankle locks and toe holds most, still afraid to put on the heel hooks so I catch and release usually and occasionally hit a knee bar - purple brown and black belts use them against me as well - I guess we’re not following tournament rules…
Haha I think it's importatnt to practice those early too as long as you keep them safe..
@@tokyojiujitsuclub Osss - great 👍🏼 video
@@FR-ty5vn Thank you. Oss!
Konnichiwa Senei! I just recently moved to Japan Osaka area. Do most bjj gyms have English classes? Im still learning the language 😅
That's awesome. Was gonna say you can join my team, but you're in Osaka. Hmm I would say most gyms don't. I've heard Triforce Osaka has an instructor who speaks English
@@tokyojiujitsuclub thank you for the information! will check out Triforce soon. Where is your gym/team located? maybe someday i can drop by! 😁

Cool video! I recently started BJJ at Tri-force 池袋 but when I'm a bit more experienced I want to try visiting other dojos to learn from other people as well! Hope to get a chance to train with you guys!
Thank you for the comment! Yeah training with different people is important for sure! You're more than welcomed to visit my team💪
A blue belt is just a white belt that has proven they are willing to show up to class consistently.
Very very true. Black belt too!
I was a white belt for 11 years due to inconsistency. I still suck. It’s more of a hobby or recreational thing for me now since I’m almost 40 years old. Helps with staying active and controlling my high blood pressure.
@@gardennovice7896 We'll said. I don't think most BJJ fanatics understand that not everyone gets into it to be a world champion BJJ machine. Plenty of people get into it as a recreational hobby. A way to stay in shape, socialize and have fun.
@@gardennovice7896 Awesome. Keep grinding💪
A black belt is a white belt who never quit.
Hey guys, nice video I appreciate your perspective. I'm a BJJ brown belt myself. Been training casually for about 15 years with some notable gaps for kids being born and just turned 40 this year. I think the one point of contention I have here is that you should start learning and training leg/foot attacks long before you get to brown belt. Sure, you can't execute on many for competitions but it's important to not be surprised by a whole new set of "things" when you end up reaching the higher belts.
Thank you. Great great point. We practice armbars from white to black, and still have to refine it as a black belt. My point is that it takes a long time to master a BJJ tech. So do leg locks!
P𝐫O𝕞O𝓢m 😍
I just now realized i have been part of your FB group for a long time.
Haha That's awesome!
Thanks again Kazuki for those videos. I like the details you give on the techniques, the fun part of your training and in general I like the japanese way of life that you present. Oss.
Thank you for the comment. Glad you like it! Hope to train together one day!
Love this video! I look forward to more! Thank you immensely!
Glad you like it! I'll definitely make more!
I definitely agree with your criteria. I like to use the criteria I heard somewhere over the years that a blue belt is someone that can easily handle an untrained opponent of equal size, while a purple can handle an untrained opponent of any size. Of course there are outliers (a D1 athlete walks into your academy for a trial class, lol).
I see. That's a great criteria based on how badass you actually are!🤣 At the end of the day, we can't ignore those factors
I clicked cuz I saw a donut. Stayed for the BJJ lol
That's my tactic😏
Same tho
