Hayate Usui Biography
Hayate Usui (碓氷 早矢手, Usui Hayate) is a *anese professional mixed martial artist and pro Shooto fighter. From Kanagawa Prefecture, *an, he now lives and trains in Tokyo at Wajitsu Keishukai's RJW (Real *anese Wrestling) and Tokyo HQ.
Usui debuted in kickboxing six years ago, fighting in J-Network. He started MMA 6 years ago, joining Wajitsu Keishukai WK Sougo. He was inspired to fight when one day, he saw one of his cl*mates from elementary school fighting in Shooto. He gave MMA a try because it looked cool and interesting. Kickboxing has many restricting rules, but MMA has considerably less, which appealed to him. A fighter could also grow bigger and stronger by training grappling. He now trains as a pro, fighting in Professional Shooto, and GCM/WK sponsored events.
