Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro vs Mitsuhiro Ishida

Jiu Jitsu black belt against a very scrappy wrestler. Shaolin was absolutely masterful but Ishida did not come to lose. Shooto, also known as Shoot Wrestling, combines punching, kicking, throwing, and submissions in a dynamic martial art offering the best of many traditional martial arts. Shooto's founder, Satoru Sayama, incorporated techniques from Muay Thai, Catch-As-Catch-Can wrestling, Russian Sambo, and Japanese Judo to create "a totally combative sport martial art." Shooto was one of the first true mixed martial arts systems, with amateur matches starting in 1986 and professional matches in 1989. Some of today's top names in MMA can trace their roots back to Shooto. The USA Shooto Association, founded by Yorinaga Nakamura, is based in Marina del Rey, Califorina. Sensei Nakamura was the first Welterweight Shooto Champion, winning four matches in a row in one day, with three by submission and one by decision in June, 1986. He is the highest ranked Shooto instructor worldwide as certified by Satoru Sayama.
