		Maeda knew how tough these Dutch boys were and he was aware of the fact that if he brought them into the UWF, under real fight competition, the majority of his Japanese fighters were going to be dumped into the bin.
		Maeda also wanted to provide Dolman's fighters a path on how to make a living fighting without putting yourself in danger of getting stabbed in the eye or a gunshot to your stomach followed by two shots to the back of your head type of frenzy.
		Maeda probably kept a promise he made with Dolman and this was the result of it, in the very first RINGS event held in May of 1991, out of eight competing fighters, six of them were Dutch.

	Column: "Akira Maeda & Rings : vol. 05"
		There was a tendency among all fighters to try to keep the top position instead of going for finishing holds, and Maeda knew this trend, this style of fighting, could create a series of boring spectacles with two big men holding onto each other on the mat, so he did something very fair.
		Maeda declared catching an opponent in the full-guard and not going for a submission is stalling, same as staying on the top and not trying to improve positioning or attempting submission holds or striking.
		Maeda however knew, the revision he needed to make to resolve this obstacle, and he immediately implemented the changes after the finals of this tournament.

		The tribunal was initiated by Akira Maeda, a professor of international law at Tokyo Zokei University, and a broad group of people in Japan from labor unionists to members of the parliament.
		Maeda, 46, a professor at Tokyo Zokei University, proposed the idea of a civic tribunal in February because he believes the arguments made against the war by some constitutional experts and peace activists are odd.
		Maeda, better known as an expert on international law and war crimes than his primary field, criminal law, argues in his draft indictment for the tribunal that the U.S.-led military action violates international laws.

	U.W.F. Tapes
		Maeda seemed to blow up around 20 minutes, but Yamazaki was on offense during this portion and Maeda got some wind back for the fireworks of the last few minutes.
		Maeda did a few kicks, but the idea was for this to look like a shoot so he didn't use his more questionable offense and was content to essentially get a submission out of nowhere.
		Maeda's matwork has always been slow for my tastes, but it was more tolerable here because it was in between good standup and he was so over that the fans went nuts anytime he was close to a submission.

		And maybe the feeling I get when I watch Maeda's performance in this match is due partly to his loose cannon reputation; I know the Andre story, and I know the Choshu story, so I know that he's gone too far in the past.
		Had Maeda wanted to injure Fujinami, there are any number of points where it could have been done, considering how Maeda controls most of the action with submissions.
		Maeda looks like a machine, looks like a relentless sociopath because Fujinami is willing to make him look that way.

	The Death Valley Driver Video Review - Issue #20
		Akira Maeda against Tatsumi Fujinami in the 1986 IWGP tournament is about as good as it gets folks (except for the ending- but they weren't afraid of bad endings back then.) Fujinami gets the holy FUCK kicked out of himself by the soon-to-be-crappy leader of RINGS.
		Maeda was a powder keg back then and this was a good demonstration of it.
		There is one point where Maeda is outside of the ring kicking Fujinami in the face and it is just WAY TOO INTENSE.

		Maeda did manage to take Andre down with a single leg at one point, and Andre grabbed Maeda's face, freaking out Maeda.
		Andre, finally tiring of Maeda kicking his legs and then backing off, lied down in the ring and basically dared Maeda to get on him.
