BRIAN YAMASAKI

Brian Yamasaki weighs in at 140 pounds but carries a powerful presence that is rivaled by few. When Yamasaki talks people listen. He knows how to bring out the best in his fighters and expects nothing less. He has experience fighting in both Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts. Yamasaki is a pioneer and was competing long before it was the popular thing to do and long before there was a consistent team of trainers and fighters to support him.

 He is a technician and perfectionist in all aspects of the game. He is a certified Muay Thai instructor and a CSW coach. If you want to know how to keep a fight standing and what to do once your there, he is the guy to see. He is one of the best MMA striking coaches around. As for his ground game… I remember one time watching Yamasaki enter the advanced division of a submission wrestling tournament, last minute and without any pre-competition conditioning. He submitted each opponent and walked away with a gold medal in the advanced division of his FIRST grappling tournament.  

In addition to his accomplishments in Martial Arts, Yamasaki has a Master’s degree in technical writing and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy. One of the best parts of training with Yamasaki is listening to his stories, theories and coaching. After listening to him speak you are ready for anything.
