Satoko Shinashi was born on January 29th (my birthday!), 1977 in Tokyo, Japan and is a female MMA fighter.

Mixed martial arts fighters have to be in shape, a lot of the fitness models use MMA training as a way to stay in shape.

Satoko is trained in Judo, Sambo (a Russian martial art), and jiu-jitsu in her matches, and is known for her armbars.

Her MMA record is 29-2- 2 with 23 of those wins being via submission and 17 of those submissions were armbars.

Pretty much if she gets an armbar locked in, it's over.

Her only MMA losses were to Mai Ichii by decision and Hisae Watanabe by knockout.

Satoko's last win was over Yukiko Seki (submission via arm bar) at Deep - 38 Impact on October 23rd, 2008 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
