Aoki: combattant japonais unidimensionnel
Shinya Aoki est un combattant japonais né le 9 mai 1983. Aoki est expert en judo et en jiu-jitsu brésilien.
Il a effectué son premier combat le 3 juillet 2004 au DEEP-15th. Il perd ensuite son deuxième combat par KO face à Jutaro Nakao. Il quitte ensuite le DEEP pour aller combattre au Shooto, dont il devient champion des poids légers le 17 février 2006 en battant à la décision unanime Akira Kikuchi le partenaire d'entraînement de Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto. Il combat actuellement au sein de l'organisation D.R.E.A.M.
Style
Le style d'Aoki est presque exclusivement concentré sur le travail au sol. Doté d'une excellente technique de judo, il cherche invariablement lors de ses combats à projeter son adversaire à terre, et ce le plus rapidement possible, pour ensuite chercher la soumission par ses nombreuses clé de bras ou de jambes. Le tout en évitant le plus possible les duels pieds/poings qui constituent son gros point faible. Cela lui vaut notamment la réputation d'être un combattant "unidimensionnel" .
Palmarès
