The Grappling Dummy: Masakazu Imanari

[ngndesign]

Best offensive guard in the Biz. Really happy when Joe Rogan acknowledge him in UFC 142 in the Palhares fight!!! War Imanari!!!

A lot of people are commenting on how this guys is boring.His mannerisms and speech patterns are just really really Japanese.As an Asian Studies major with a focus on Japanese language and Kyokushin Karateka, I found this really interesting to observe

[huggy68]

dont let him get your leg big trouble.

Interviewing Asian athletes are like talking to monks. Most often, can't get a straight answer.

[vskerane]

This guy is just ruthless on the ground.

[sasamidaisukinannda]

He is HENTAI....

Imanari disliked the video ^^

Clearly, this guy is impossible to interview if you don´t speak japanese fluently. He´s way too weird to give a straight answer.

[grapplingdummies]

@kid108 You're not wrong! Actually we had a highly professional interpreter... He still talked nonsense. Great fun though.

@grapplingdummies I would love to see you interview Sengoku welterweight champion Keita :

"K-tauro" nakamura! That would be awesome.

[kid108]

@grapplingdummies it's so insane to realize that this guy is mostly self trained.I mean, no sambo or anything? And just a few months as a teenager under Satoru Sayama, getting hit with a stick?

[SweetZombiJesus]

@grapplingdummies I don't know about the raw footage, but the answers you chose were all informative and made sense. Great interview, by the way; I was delighted to see an interview with Imanari, as he has fast become my favourite fighter.
