On December 20, 1915, the first demonstration in Belém took place at the Theatro Politheama. The "O Tempo" newspaper announced the event, stating that Conde Koma would show the main "jiu-jitsu" techniques, excepting the prohibited ones. He also would demonstrate self-defense techniques. After that, the troupe would be accepting challenges from the crowd, and there would be the first sensational match of "jiu-jitsu" between Shimitsu (champion of Argentina) and Laku (Peruvian military professor). On December 22, 1915, according to "O Tempo", "jiu-jitsu" world champion Maeda, head of the Japanese troupe, and Satake, New York champion, performed an enthusiastic and sensational "jiu-jitsu" match. On the same day, Nagib Assef, an Australian Greco-Roman wrestling champion of Turkish origin, challenged Maeda. On December 24, 1915, Maeda defeated in seconds the boxer Barbadiano Adolpho Corbiniano, who became one of his disciples. On January 3, 1916, at Theatro Politheama, Maeda finally fought Nagib Assef, who was thrown off the stage and pinned into submission by arm-lock. On January 8, 1916, Maeda, Okura, and Shimitsu boarded the SS "Antony" and left for Liverpool. Tokugoro Ito went to Los Angeles. Satake and Laku stayed in Manaus teaching, according to "O Tempo", "jiu-jitsu". After 15 years together, Maeda and Satake had finally split up. Of this last trip, little is known. Maeda went from England to Portugal, Spain, and France, coming back to Brazil in 1917 alone. Settling in Belém do Pará, Maeda married D. May Iris.
