Takayama was paralyzed due to a failed spot in a pro wrestling match in Japan in 2017 (DDT Promotion)

For the young kids who didn't know, these two guys gave the MMA world one of, if not the most exciting and heart stopping toe to toe exchanges, and one of the greatest fights ever in PRIDE 21 (2002)

It was legendary.

Takayama has been in rehab in the last couple of years and as of last year, can stand now with support.

This is rough to see... A guy that size with all that extra weight - must be painful as fuck for him to do any sort of physio, not to mention the complications of having two attendants instead of one.

Apparently he did it during a botched shooting star press, a la Lesnar.

Poor guy.
 
Ok so I did a little digging, and it serms like he continues to improve.

He can do 10kg assisted push ups



Appears to be gaining leg mobility

And is still both cooler, and more handsome than you

Which is good to know.

War Takyama.
