History

Takada would fully sponsor incoming hopefuls, giving them the opportunity to train every day in preparation for their first professional fight.[1] Takada implemented a standard test for all of the incoming fighters at his dojo. Those who wished to become uchi-deshi or full-time students at his school, were required to undergo a sort of initiation ritual where a tireless routine of exercise stations and sparring partners were set up to test the will-power and heart of the new fighters.[2]
