The Grappling Dummy: Masakazu Imanari

Filmed in Tokyo, September 2010.
Masakazu Imanari is the enigmatic grappler known as the Ashikan Judan - Master of Leglocks.
No man has destroyed as many legs as him. Knees and ankles are his enemy. He hates them.
Want to find out how he got started in the martial arts?
Whether he enjoys breaking bones?
Where his leglocks came from?
Well you're never going to know because Imanari's interview style is as elusive and strange as his fighting style. But still, you should watch it anyway.
This is a rare and exclusive look at Masakazu Imanari (and Aoki Shinya, as well as Shigeru Saeki) in their natural habitat...
Check it out, and be sure to watch the rest in the series.
Sorry, 3 minutes of blackness at the end and Youtube does not have a "replace video" function.

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
-
dont let him get your leg big trouble.

Interviewing Asian athletes are like talking to monks. Most often, can't get a straight answer.
-
@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.
-
This guy is just ruthless on the ground.
-
He is HENTAI....

@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?
-
@grapplingdummies I would love to see you interview Sengoku welterweight champion Keita :
"K-tauro" nakamura! That would be awesome.

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

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