Isami has been around since 1932 in Japan. The partnership with ChokeSports is the result of a friendship of more than 20 years based on a strong sense of budo (武道).

It all started in the early 2000's, in the magical days of Pride FC in Tokyo. Back when "modern" martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA had conquered the center stage in the Japanese rings.
