About Us
Tomoyuki Hashimoto was born on the 20th of April, 1993 in Tokushima – on Shikoku island in Japan.
Martial arts entered Hashimoto’s life through shorinji kempo at the age of 6, though the experience was short lived. He returned to MA’s 10 years later by signing on to Takahito Yoshioka’s jiu-jitsu class. At the time Tomoyuki was disheartened by Japan’s school system and trying to find an activity he could connect with. He was a big fan of mixed martial arts (MMA) and knew about BJJ, so decided to give grappling a try.
Takahito Yoshioka became Hashimoto’s coach from there on, grading the talented rooster weight with his blue, purple and brown belts. Tomoyuki Hashimoto’s black belt would be awarded on the 19th of September 2015, by the president of the Japanese BJJ federation – Yuki Nakai, after Hashimoto’s brilliant performance at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship, where he earned a gold medal.
