Awesome!!!

Must see tv.

It's in the Kokugikaikan in Ryokoku (as per the flyer and other info online), not Differ Ariake.



Based on this link: http://battle-news.com/?p=8868

They'll have an 8-man middleweight tournament, and 4-5 superfights, focusing on heavyweights.

Fuji TV will televise.

Best combat sports news in awhile!

Hopefully someguy on this board who knows Japanese can sum up what is in that article.

Looking at these 2 links in a translate program, I gather they are calling this an "experimental dojo match" held Saturday. It seems they were seeking to improve and finalize rules for future events with the help of fans. It seems 33,000 people watched? If that is correct it must have been broadcast and hopefully recorded. I recognize Kenzo from the 1st event in the results.

Sounds like you are unaware that one of our Japanese residents uploaded the entire event.  Enjoy!

^^ that link brings me to an international pricing list for Afghanistan from the US Postal Service.

Ooops. Don't know why that was still on clipboard. Looks like you know a little bit now about what I have up to. Fixed.

Not a problem

Thanks Hamilcar.

Oh yeah Hamilcar I watched the 1st event. The discussion on here is why I signed up. Thank you for the link tho. So the 33,000 who watched was for the first event? It would be nice to like you say have a Japanese speaker explain what is said in these articles.

they hold an qualifying event may 16 33,000 people Watch the event on niconico

So are subs allowed?

If Fuji is televising that is good news.

NO!  NO SUBMISSIONS IN GANRYUJIMA!!!!!!!!
If it had submissions it would immediately become MMA.  We already have plenty of that elsewhere.

Yeah, would not be Ganrujima if it had subs
