Documentary about Genki Sudo
Genki Sudo from his career as a champion martial artist, fine art student, musician, and now producer and creator of this group is truly a Da Vinci of his generation, the ‘Lost Generation’ of Japan as he describes it. He speaks passable English having studied in LA. I am very impressed with his talent and diversity of interests. A bit too gushy? I think the guy is great!

The lesson we can learn from the World Order videos .. ‘ Do not give a damn about what other people think. Be what you want to be and strive to be the best in it.’

Genki Sudo was one of the most entertaining fighters to watch ever. He would sometimes literally dance around his opponents and then crush them with spinning back fists.
Sometimes, though, his entrances into the ring were more impressive than the fight itself. Look around on YouTube, you won’t be disappointed.I had no idea he was doing electro pop music now. World Order is apparently the name of the album.

Back in the day he was probably my favorite fighter. He had serious skills, he showed up to entertain (win or lose), and he seemed like a genuinely humble and nice guy. When he won he usually bowed to his opponent (something of a rarity even in Japan) and then pulled out a big UN flag with the words “We are all one” emblazoned across it.
Not surprised at all to see him make this transition. He’s a natural enterainer.

Yeah when I first watched it I noticed the many of the moves or sequences I had seen before. The line piece from 2:06, the move at 3:04 (with the liquid arms in the background) which is from the Mixplay video you linked, and I dont remember the Thousand Hand Boddhisatva well enough to know if the last bit was taken directly from it or not. I still love this video though
