I have made a list of Japanese MMA gyms with their official websites. There are loads of gyms, so I can’t introduce them all. I’ll try to give the links to their website, what prefecture they are in, and what railway station is nearest (in that order). I’ll also note the head of the gym, although sometimes when that information is not available, I’ll make a guess - I could be wrong.
Important:
Some gyms really lack the ability to welcome foreigners due to the language barrier. It’s better to go somewhere you know you will be welcomed, so please try to contact them beforehand - (or learn Japanese! Ed)
This information is not guaranteed and may be out of date - sorry!
I hope some foreigners may realize there is a gym near them, and start to train MMA.
Hopefully this will make foreigners living in Japan realise they have an MMA gym and maybe some famous Japanese fighters or teachers nearby, and start training.
