The Wrestling Shoot Incidents that Built Shootstyle AND Japanese MMA
Shoot-style, a new form of pro wrestling that focused on realistic encounters, was essentially built and popularised thanks to incidents where guys went into business for themselves -- particularly the likes of Akira Maeda and Nobuhiko Takada. This style is part of their legacies, and it also contributed to the rise of MMA in Japan. This video chronicles these shoot incidents! Enjoy.
