Ashley Longoria: Ladies and gentlemen, we're in the locker room with one of the newest stars to sign with SBW, Ryu Dokita. Ryu, you asked for this time, why is that?
-
-
Ryu: Well, I wanted to show the fans my training regimine.
-
-
Ashley: Ok, well, where are we going to see this take place? The locker room is too confining.
-
-
Ryu: I got a spot set up in a extremely large empty room in the arena, follow me.
-
-
Ashley and the camera man follow Ryu to an expansive room decked out with unorthodox workout equipment.
-
-
Ashley: What is all this stuff? A rock climbing wall? And why is there logs in the room?
-
-
Ryu(grinning): Just watch. All this is sort of makeshift, since my real training takes place at The Flaming Lotus Blossom Dojo in St. Louis. Ok, first, I use the rock climbing wall. (Ryu climbs the wall with surprising agility and quickness, then climbs down and repeats the process 5 times)
-
-
Ashley(whispering to cameraman): Did you catch that on camera? This kid is amazing! (louder, to Ryu): Ok, what's next?
-
-
Ryu: Next, I use my Katana for strength and reflexes. Yoshimitsu, let's show them workouts # 6 and # 9.
-
-
A hulking but nimble man takes the Katana from Ryu and puts on a stunning display of bladed weaponry while Ryu flips and dodges to avoid the assault. After a while, Yoshimitsu hands Ryu the Katana and takes up a position by the logs. Ryu grips the Katana with both hands and nods. Yoshimitsu bends and lifts a log and tosses it toward Ryu. Ryu pivots andbrings the sword around in a powerful arc, slicing the log in half completely. The process is repeated 9 more times with increasing speed. Finally, the training session has ended.

Rex is standing there open mouthed and stunned.
-
-
Ashley: That was freaking awesome! How in the world did you do that? never mind. Ryu, my man, you are gifted. I think you'll have a great career in SBW. Thanks for the time.

Ryu smiles and waves as Rex and the cameraman leaves.
