WE ARE ALL ONE

The Neo-Samurai (previously) is back! Please enjoy fabled MMArtist Genki Sudo's music video Mind Shift, choreographed with his group World Order.

They've performed various iterations of their style; first fan-versions are appearing.

The music is a little insipid, but after having seen what he did to one of the Gracies in a MMA match I think I'll keep my opinions to myself.

For those not familiar, here's a highlight reel that will give you a good feel for why he's a living legend.

Paused to jump in to say: THIS IS AWESOME THANK YOU. Now back to the hilarity. (cheerleaders, baseball cap slipped backward, moves to the ring...)

The hell -- who throws moves in like that? This guy seems to be having a blast in the ring.

I can just imagine how freaking huge he must be in Japan.

I just came here to say I loved the music. Oh well.

I liked it. I was a huge Sudo fan when he was still in MMA, and I enjoyed the music more than I thought I would. The choreography, of course, was fantastic.

Also I misread this at first as NEON SAMURAI and thought YES SHADOWRUN IS BACK BABY.

Ok, after a lengthy distraction, to the featured link -- that was excellent. Great post, thank you.

Excellent post, thank you. Loved the videos. (Tried and failed to think of a Buckaroo Banzai joke )

Also, I think that guy cut my hair two weeks ago. The Genki Sudo doppelgänger barber asked me to stick around after he finished so that I could be his witness as he beat the shit out of some rich guy who had been harassing/threatening him recently (and repeatedly calling him a monkey). I passed the baton to another customer who walked in just then.

This thread on the UG (mixedmartialarts.com forum in OP's post) is also a goldmine of MMA highlights and openings.
