Kazushi Sakuraba is an undisputed giant in the world of grappling, having been instrumental to the rise of MMA in Japan and a pioneer that straddled the line between professional wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts. From his days as the ‘IQ Wrestler’ to becoming more widely known as ‘The Gracie Hunter,’ he remains to this day a revered figure in competitive grappling—having semi-regularly participated in Quintet and other grappling endeavors.
While he’s also released his ‘Kimura Hunting’ instructional, more recently he teamed up with the team at BJJ Fanatics to release ‘Anti Jiu-Jitsu’—a collection of theory and technique surrounding Sakuraba’s approach to dealing with BJJ competitors from a Catch Wrestling perspective.
