Salepage: Yoshiaki Fujiwara – Submission Master 3 Volume Set

Karl Gotch calls him his best student. He was the training partner of
Satoru Sayama (SHOOTO founder), Nobuhiko Takada (Takada Dojo founder),
Akira Maeda (Fighting Network RINGS founder), Antonio Inoki (the
professional wrestler that fought Muhammad Ali), and also trained and
assisted in the training of Minoru Suzuki, Masakatsu Funaki, Ken Wayne
Shamrock, and many others.
This is his instructional, long out of

back in its entirety IN THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE (no translations or
subtitles).
