Mitsuyoshi Hayakawa

Mitsuyoshi Hayakawa is the overall head of Tri-Force Jiu-Jitsu Academy, which he founded in 2004, including Tri-Force Ikebukuro. Born in Tokyo in 1975, he began training in 1996 as part of Japan's first generation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, with no prior sporting experience at 20. From 2000 he shifted his focus to international events while attending summer training camps at Alliance in Brazil, and in 2002 he won the Rio de Janeiro state championship and received his black belt from Alexandre Paiva of Alliance, the first Japanese to do so. That same year he defeated Yuki Nakai at the All Japan Open Tournament, and in 2004 he placed in the top eight at the black belt World Championship. As a coach he has produced world and Japanese champions, teaches self-defence, and from 2007 served the Japanese Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation as headquarters chief, head of refereeing and managing director.
