shingo,
Ah, thanks. I found out that Takeyama was one of Sosai's uchi-deshi and he fought in 5 All-Japan Kyokushin tournaments from 1980-1984, always being in the top 8, gradually rising through the rankings in each tournament until he was 2nd place at the 16th All Japan Tournament in 1984. I figured he must've had considerable talent and conditioning to be trained by Fujihira for kickboxing.
Those guys actually actually put down Masato online when he won MAX?! What an utter lack of respect. Masato was the only Japanese to have won a K-1 championship thus so far, they should've taken that into consideration. Khaosai was strong, and Pongsaklek is impressing me a lot. No hurry about the pics, I was just curious to see them, that's all.
