Okinawa’s grappling community continues to show up for each other and this August, we’re doing it again.
Join us at Pacific Grappler Dojo for a special no-gi seminar led by Ibuki Arimatsu, one of Japan’s rising talents in the submission grappling scene. Known for his relentless pace and surgical precision, Ibuki will be breaking down one of his signature weapons: the anaconda choke. Whether you’re new to the position or looking to refine your finishing mechanics, this session promises high-level insight from a competitor who’s been battle-tested at the top.
🏆 About Ibuki Arimatsu
Ibuki’s resume speaks for itself:
🥈 Second Place – Okinawa Invitational 2
🥇🥇 Double Gold Medalist – 2025 All Japan No-Gi Open (Purple Belt)
🏆 3-Time Champion – JBJJF All Japan No-Gi
His style blends pressure passing, opportunistic front headlock transitions, and a deep understanding of positional control making him a perfect guide for anyone looking to sharpen their no-gi game.
💙 Why This Seminar Matters
This isn’t just about technique. Every yen and dollar raised will go directly toward supporting Heath Pedigo’s eye surgery. Heath has been a pillar in the grappling world both on the mats and behind the scenes and now it’s our turn to give back.
If you’ve ever trained with Heath, learned from his systems, or simply been inspired by his work, this is a chance to show up in a meaningful way.
🙌 Come Roll, Learn, and Support
Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just starting your journey, we’d love to see you there. Let’s pack the mats, sharpen our chokes, and rally around one of our own.
No registration required—just show up, pay at the door, and bring your no-gi gear.
Let’s make August 23 a day of technique, community, and heart. See you on the mats.
