USE THE TIMESTAMPS below if you are short on time. You’ll whiz thru it. This interview is THE reason we went to Combo Breaker. I’m very proud of it. It's jammed with inspiration and insight. Tokido was fantastic and sat with us for over 2 hours. He speaks only in Japanese so that we can get more in depth answers - something he and I had been planning for a while. Huge thanks to everyone who supports the channel by watching, liking, commenting, sharing, pledging a dollar or two on Patreon, and/or donating to the travel funds. None of this would have been possible without your support. Finally, this is mostly unedited. I like it that way. Kinda raw. These interviews are ONLY possible due to my Patrons.
