Locations of top grappling gyms in Japan?
Well, I'm considering going to Japan to teach English as I'm getting kinda stale training in America while lacking the money to go to any grappling competitions.
Anyway, I was wondering anyone could help me out so far as top schools and locations of said schools?

Well, no, I've never really looked into which prefecture which school was out of.
I believe Sakurai, Kawajiri and Ishida train out of one of the more rural prefectures....maybe Ibaraki? Funaki is from Aomori, but I don't think he actually trains there...

Killer Bee has a pretty nice facility in Tokyo. Small, but nice.They only train no-gi, mostly wrestlers, few are top-caliber submission guys, except Kikuchi. Purebred probably offers the most as far as MMA, BJJ, or sub-grappling. They have multiple locations. If you're a pure BJJ afficionado, Paraestra or Axis are also good options.

Well, I love grappling dearly. I wouldn't call myself a BJJ afficionado however. More of a submission-wrestling, catch-wrestling sorta fellow.
