Paraestra (Japanese: パラエストラ, from palaestra) is a mixed martial arts fighting team and gym headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with multiple gyms throughout Japan, the United Kingdom, as well as one in Newmarket, Canada. The gym was founded by former Shooto welterweight champion, and Vale Tudo Japan competitor Yuki Nakai.[3] Today, Paraestra endorses both Shooto, and Jiu-Jitsu and contains many gyms throughout Japan.[4]
In addition to training fighters, the gym offers classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo and Shooto.
