Tenshin Nasukawa highlights & Breakdown
“In Portent, We Trust” Part One – Kickboxing.
Tenshin Nasukawa ( 那須川天心, Nasukawa Tenshin, born in Matsudo, Chiba, Japan) who’s been justifiably given the moniker “Striking Prodigy” by fellow analysts Lawrence Kenshin and MindSmash, is a recently 19-year-old Kyokushin Karate stylist who’s competed in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and recently in MMA for Rizin.
