Genki Sudo is one smoove grappler. Here he is, lightly rolling with a Pancrase fighter — to Prince playing in the background:
One of my personal favorites is the video of Genki at Chris Brennan’s submission tournament a few years back. I’m still kicking myself that I was out of tournament shape that weekend and didn’t bother to go “just to watch”:
The first guy he fights goes for a takedown, and Genki seems to deflect him effortlessly with his ki energy. That guy, Bao Quatch, regularly taught takedowns at Brennan’s school, and he was a grappling machine — if “only” a blue-belt at the time.
Make sure to watch Genki jump over one guy’s guard into a triangle from the top. Unreal.
If you don’t want to watch him pick on poor li’l blue-belts, you can watch him fight against Royler Gracie — in an event that allows knees to the head on the ground:
