Ganryujima × apt armor battle - Sanada circle is the name of the July 23rd event, which takes place at the Odaiba Museum of Maritime Science. It starts at 10:30 am Japan time

It's a weapons event though.

Katsunori Kikuno is competing

Then at 2:30 there is an normal Ganryujima event featuring Kikuno, Watanabe, Kuntappu & Shinsuko Leto (the praying mantis guy) or maybe it's battle fighting also, I'm not sure

I think Star-Style is fighting UmiHa also (at 2:30)

They asked Tamura to participate but they're unsure if he'll show up.

They're airing it for free, but I'm not sure where... hopefully nico video. I'll check later

Kind of weird that 5 of these guys are fighting twice in a week... It's a little hard to make sense of the samurai battle event, from the description.

Fuck. Yes. Long live ganryujima weirdness.

@tinobar I know you know the streaming hookup, enlighten us

 

[BeardotheWeirdo]

I just checked nicovideo and there's nothing listed on the Ganryujima channel... I still have half my credits left from the last event too

It's on FujiTV ... we may be out of luck

I think this one's going to be on FujiTV actually... we may be out of luck

If it's live then I might still have a link for FujiTV

Tamura's fight against the boxer is under "Inoki vs. Ali" rules. How cool is that?

I have to educate myself about the fight style "Northern Praying Mantis". Never heard of it. I also like that one guy has a background in Volleyball lol.

Long Fist Praying Mantis Stance is the way forward for martial arts

Reminds me of when Bob Sapp's fighting style was NFL.

 

[tinobar]

i dont think it aired any where it was free to attend

Sad Lelo isn't returning to represent capoeira.

That's amazing, it's like a real life beat em up videogame.

Exclusive on Fuji TV (paid subscription)

SpikeTV should cut a deal with them in the future.

I wonder if they even explain to him what he is participating in.

GarRep: Wow, you are fantastic at Volleyball! We're having a tournament in Japan. I think you'd be perfect for it!

Volleyball Guy: Oh, thanks. That sounds interesting. So it's a Volleyball tournament?

GarRep: Of course it's a tournament! Are you in?

Volleyball guy: Well maybe. But what type of tournament is it?

GarRep: The type where we pay you a bundle of money *hands a sack of money*

Volleyball Guy: Okay, I'm in.

Long Fist Praying Mantis Stance is the way forward for martial arts

Sooo it's a slightly more spastic Tai Chi, but about as powerful as Tai Chi as well.

Wish they chose a Drunken Fist master instead.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

LOL

I always enjoy these weird events. It reminds me of Virtua Fighter. It may not be standard MMA, but it's entertaining.

Ganryujima needs a DOA Volleyball division
