Shinsuke Nakamura spotted training with released WWE Superstar and AEW veteran

The King of Strong Style has a lot of friends outside of WWE.

Shinsuke Nakamura keeps up with his martial arts training while continuing to be a WWE Superstar.

The King of Strong Style had a 3-1-1 career in mixed martial arts before he rose to superstardom in the world of professional wrestling. He hasn't competed inside the octagon since 2004.

The Daniel Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu School in Orange County recently published a photo on their Instagram account that revealed former WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura recently held a class. The class included former NXT Champion Killer Kross, former Ring of Honor Women's World Champion Sumie Sakai, and All Elite Wrestling star Emi Sakura. The caption said:

"Nice class ran by @shinsukenakamura we NEVER STOP @danielgraciebjj #danielgracieteam #jiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #jiujitsulife #jiujitsuparatodos #jiujitsu4life #jiujiteiros #jiujitsusavedmylife #jiujitsufamily #jiujitsuforeveryone #jiujitsuforlife #graciejiujitsu #renzograciebjj #bjj #bjjfamily #bjjforlife #bjj4life #bjjforeveryone #bjj4ever #lakeivanhoe #downtownorlando #florida #fodacy #fodacymindset #deusnocomando," Daniel Gracie of Orange County posted on Instagram.
