    Always fought like the devil and had the most “complete” style for MMA out of the clan

    Was so happy to see this result

    Never argued about rules just fought, and from what I can tell held anything back from his students.

    Produced some of the best grapplers and mma fighters in the world and always has a smile on his face.

    And spent years quietly training law enforcement officers at his home free of charge, always liked that about him

    That first round did my head in. It was like watching a .GIF for too long. What was up with Yuki Kondo?

    step-step-short half speed jab to nothing-step-step-step-short half speed jab to nothing-step-step-step-short half speed jab to nothing-step-half speed leg kick-step-step-short half speed jab to nothing-step-step-step-short half speed jab to nothing-step-step-step-short half speed jab to nothing-step-half speed leg kick...

    Gave me a headache, it was like his circuit board was fried and he got stuck in a loop.

    I missed it live, glad to see this on the YouTube channel.

    Yuki looked very (unsurprisingly) hesitant to commit.

    Good outcome and finish :)

    This is really inspiring!

    I also find Renzo's instructionals to be very helpful - he keeps things very simple and effective
