Cbimpact

CBIMPACT is a comprehensive martial arts and fitness gym in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, offering authentic training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts (MMA). The gym operates two locations - one in Kanazawa and one in Komatsu - providing convenient access for practitioners throughout the region.

CBIMPACT's training philosophy combines traditional martial arts discipline with modern fitness approaches. The gym offers programs for all skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes focus on ground fighting techniques including joint locks and chokeholds, with an emphasis on logical, strategic grappling. The kickboxing program draws from boxing, karate, and other striking arts, providing high-intensity workouts that are effective for both self-defense and fitness goals. The MMA classes integrate techniques from BJJ, wrestling, judo, boxing, and kickboxing to develop well-rounded fighters.

The gym is led by experienced instructors including Mitsuhiro Okada (DEEP Future King Tournament 2014 champion), Chris Matsuoka/Atsushi Matsuoka (2018 IBJJF Asian Championship brown belt Master 4 Lightweight champion, now black belt), and Uraken/Kengo Ura (former Welterweight King of Pancrase and MMA World Series Welterweight Champion). The atmosphere at CBIMPACT is welcoming and friendly, breaking from traditional martial arts formality while maintaining professional instruction. The gym emphasizes that BJJ and kickboxing combine aerobic exercise with strength training, making them highly effective for health improvement, weight loss, and stress relief.
