    Dragon Ball sagas didn't inspire me to pursue boxing, but it DEFINITELY (and still is) inpires me to train hard as a bodybuilder. But not just training.These characters were my role models growing up as a kid. The show impacted my life. If you want to succeed to the next level, you have to put in the work. Work hard and strategize different points in your life. You'll fail at some things, but keep pursuing. And only then, you'll see the transformation. #dragonballforever

    Of course the best martial artists love Dragon ball Z in boxing or any martial arts like mma with Wonderboy Thompson. It's the best martial arts anime of all time. The one that inspired all the other ones. The fight choreography, creativity, animation was so perfect, no other anime got even close to it. The sound effects from Dbz were even used in other animes. And obviously as you said the lessons like never giving up, always pushing to go higher in levels, fighting superior fighters to get stronger etc. True inspiration for life. RIP Mister Toryama and thank you for DBZ.

    Got into martial arts 24 years ago with a 1-2 punch of The matrix and Dbz. I fell in love with former because two important lessons fear, doubt and disbelief you let go and the only way to get good at martial. Arts is to study and practice many. Dbz taught me you earn what you keep. Life never gives you what you want only what you work for Also I.e think the master roshi quote about is peace more about being relaxed under duress R.I.P Akira Toyirama

    I’ve always said this: Dbz is for men Naruto is for boys. Goku hardly backed down from a fight. Always willing to fight and challenge himself. It teaches u the power of perseverance and not giving up. Training ur ass off to achieve ur goals. I love Naruto too don’t get me wrong but dude always started yapping about his damn childhood and how he was alone venting his feelings and shit. Don’t nobody who wants to destroy the world give a fuck lol it’s not realistic. In the real world, like android 16 said, there’s people you can’t reason with, there is no convincing them, you have to FIGHT to protect urself and others. Real shit.
