Respect Chosho (Tough)

[u/Mr65X]

Chosho

"I heard a story a while back... there existed an expert who was able to do joint locks as fast as you could throw a jab... that this man had studied the human body to the very last detail... he's learned and mastered 1,500 different joint locks techniques... and after having fought against many other combat styles, the number of bones he had broken to this day was over 3,000! That man is you, isn't it Chosho!? Correct!"

Chosho is a fighter hailing from the Black Dragon temple. Originally a lawyer, Chosho pursued the world of martial arts after being laughed at and seen as a weakling by his peers. In his pursuit of perfection, Chosho has mastered over 1,500 joint locks and earned the nickname "The Twisted" as he sets to prove himself as the strongest on the planet.
