Description
Shooto is a combat sport and hybrid martial art founded by Satoru Sayama in
1985, considered one of the first true mixed martial arts systems. It combines
punching, kicking, throwing, and submissions, drawing techniques from Muay Thai,
Catch-As-Catch-Can wrestling, Russian Sambo, Judo, and Jujutsu. Practitioners
are called shooters or shootists. It was brought to the United States by
Yorinaga Nakamura through the USA Shooto Association.
