Kenji Midori wasn't supposed to become a world champion. At just 165 cm (5'5"), he competed in one of the most brutal martial arts tournaments ever created: the Kyokushin World Tournament. There were no weight classes. His opponents were often much bigger, much heavier, and significantly stronger. Yet Kenji Midori repeatedly defeated fighters who outweighed him by more than 100 pounds. How? The answer wasn't brute strength. It was a combination of devastating low kicks, lightning-fast footwork, elite timing, incredible body conditioning, and one of the most intelligent fighting styles ever seen in full-contact karate.
