Biography

Although seen as a fighter with good striking ability, and while he has won fights by knockout in both mixed martial arts and kickboxing, Genki Sudo's skill set seems primarily focused on grappling and submission wrestling techniques. Among the rather unorthodox techniques that he favors and can use effectively are the spinning backfist, a flying leg-triangle choke and flying armbar, as well as dancing and turning his back to opponents in order to taunt or distract them. Submission can refer to: An object to hand in A proposal for a presentation at an academic conference Domination and submission, where it is opposite in meaning to dominance. ...


Prior to his retirement on New Year's Eve Sudo fought for K-1 HERO's, the mixed martial arts branch of the most popular Japanese combat sports circuit. Sudo is well known for his particularly flashy choreographed ring entrances that often include costumed dancers. One entrance featured Sudo doing the robot and operating levers that released a column of smoke from the top of his head while wearing a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket as a hat and a white plastic mask, in an homage to the musician Buckethead. This article is about the avant-garde metal composer and musician. ...


On a side note, Genki Sudo is a practicing Buddhist and although many think his antics in the ring are disrespectful and arrogant, he explains that it is simply his way of relaxing and having fun with what he is doing. After the fight is over he always kindly smiles and bows to his opponent, makes sure they are not injured, and holds up an United Nations flag with the words "We are all one".


Genki Sudo was defeated by K-1 HERO's lightweight champion Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto. The fight was won by a controversial referee stoppage after Sudo was knocked down by a right hand which was followed by some punches. There is still some disagreement among fans on whether or not the match was ended prematurely and unfairly by the referee involved, and it has been said that this same referee has a history of making controversial calls. Norifumi Kid Yamamoto (山本KID徳郁 ), birth date March 15, 1977) is a Japanese mixed martial arts fighter. ...


At K-1 Dynamite! on December 31, 2006 he defeated Damacio Page by submission[1]. After his win, and to the shock of the crowd, Sudo announced his retirement. He cites recurring injuries as one of the main causes of his decision but credits a sign in front of a urinal saying "one step forward" as giving him the inspiration.[2] is the 365th day of the year (366th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Genki Sudo has written two books, and is currently filming his movie The R246 Story[3]

KID vs. Genki: 'Unresolved Tension' (1121 words)
Genki is the center and the KID is the second hand circling reluctantly as time ticks away, perhaps trying to frustrate his nemesis.
The strike which preceded Genki going to the ground was clearly on an illegal spot, as was the intentional one to the back of the head in the early half of the fight.
Sudo was obviously still aware at the fights shut off, but he is too much of a class act to raise a fuzz to the fuzz.
Genki Sudo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (171 words)
Genki Sudo (須藤元気, born March 8, 1978) is a Japanese mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Japanese based fight organization K-1.
Although he is seen as a fighter with good striking ability and has won fights by knockout in both mixed martial arts and kickboxing, Genki Sudo's skill set seems primarily focused on grappling and submission wrestling techniques.
Among the rather unorthodox techniques that he favors and can use effectively are the spinning backfist, a Jiu Jitsu leg-triangle choke and Jiu Jitsu armbar (both of which he can apply while standing), as well as dancing and turning his back to opponents in order to taunt or distract in mixed martial arts.
