Buen BJJ

BuenBJJ is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy located in Iwatsuki-ku, Saitama, established in 2018 as an affiliated team of PUREBRED, one of Japan's oldest BJJ academies. The gym provides a welcoming curriculum suitable for complete beginners, with programs designed for various goals including health maintenance, competition training, and personal development.

The academy is led by head instructor Isamu Shishido, who has approximately 30 years of BJJ experience. Shishido began training under Enson Inoue (who learned from Rickson Gracie) in 1997, and has taught classes at PUREBRED since 2000. He has trained extensively in Brazil through three long-term training camps. As a competitor, Shishido became the first Japanese brown belt to win a World Championship in the adult division, and achieved two consecutive Asia Championship victories at black belt, along with placing in the top 8 at the World Championships. He completed his competition career in 2011 and pursued specialized trainer education to enhance his coaching expertise.

The kids program is coached by Yumi Ohashi, who began BJJ after her children started training. She brings extensive experience as a nursery school teacher to create an engaging and educational environment for young students. She also leads weight training classes for adults, applying her trainer knowledge to children's instruction.
