Hybrid Yoga presents a distinctive fitness system developed by legendary Japanese professional wrestler and mixed martial artist Masakatsu Funaki. Rather than approaching yoga solely as a flexibility or relaxation practice, Funaki combines yoga-inspired training with breathing exercises, strength work, body conditioning, and mental concentration.
The program begins with fundamentals including “Breath of Fire” (火の呼吸), Mula Bandha, and introspective/meditative practice. It then progresses through structured yoga routines for warming up, developing strength and improving mental focus, along with body-conditioning exercises including push-ups and specialized training for the arms and shoulders.
Designed around Funaki's experience as an elite combat athlete, the system emphasizes developing a strong, functional body while cultivating greater awareness and control. The accompanying DVD provides visual instruction for the exercises and training methods described in the book.
About the Author:
Masakatsu Funaki, born in 1969 in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, is a legendary figure in professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. He debuted at just 15 with New Japan Pro Wrestling, becoming the youngest-ever professional wrestler.

As Pancrase’s top competitor, Funaki won the prestigious King of Pancrase title twice. His historic bout with Rickson Gracie in 2000 marked the culmination of his 15-year fighting career.
