How Shota Aizawa plays

A specialist style whose value depends on timing, setup, and matchup knowledge. Binding Cloth: Capture captures and pulls enemies, or converts a midair hit into a flying kick. Use Binding Cloth: Serpent to support that plan, and preserve movement or defensive resources when committing.
