Genki Sudo got his Black Belt!

[Kyuktooki]

I checked his webpage because of the thread about the westside tournament. I checked his diary entries because his old website had some English entries but found that I had to get the Japanese translated instead (Chrome did it automatically after a prompt!).
He got his BB from Watanabe Yoshinao of Triforce. Hopefully someone who speaks Japanese can double check this was translated correctly. I emailed a Japanese speaker friend of mine to be sure and I'll no doubt know soon.

I hope to one day earn my black belt in dancing from Genki.

 

[BigStaff]

I hope to one day earn my black belt in dancing from Genki.

Hahahaha... me too.

 

[Sir Galahad]

The most entertaining fighter in MMA. Awesome grappler too.

 

[El_Jefe]

I hope to one day earn my black belt in dancing from Genki.

I'm only a blue belt in sexy under Yoshihiro Akiyama. I want to start cross-training in Genki-Dancing, but I'm afraid it'll mess with my routine too much.

He coaches the Takushoku University wrestling team. The position is quite a big deal apparently, that uni is legendary for their martial arts clubs.

 

[Kyuktooki]

He is also on TV a lot and writes books. I think he stills makes bank mostly just because he still has a lot of celebrity presence (for a retired MMA fighter anyhow) in Japan.

 

[BruceLeeMMA]

It's confirmed now.

He got it from Naoyoshi Watanabe of Tri-Force/Alliance in Tokyo

[revad3]

Guys thanks for the video links and information.. But damn, he's really quite young to quit the industry. Hope to see him compete at some gi /nogi.

 

[ItsArun]

[Mikey Triangles]

comeback to mma

 

[SuperSuperRambo]

Genki Sudo is still training?

 

[Gabicho]

He is still training.
He said he would NEVER stop training.
And he also said he'd never compete again because of neck injuries.

 

[ambertch]

Damn, am I the only one who thought he already was a bb?

Like has already been mentioned, you were probably thinking about his black belt in dancing.

 

[Kyuktooki]

He is still training.
He said he would NEVER stop training.
And he also said he'd never compete again because of neck injuries.

I never heard he had neck injuries but I just googled and several MMA news sites said that in a later news conference after announcing his retirement that is just what he said.
