Keiichi Yamada(山田恵一,Yamada Keiichi, born November 30, 1964), better known as Jushin Liger(獣神ライガー,Jūshin Raigā) and later Jushin Thunder Liger(獣神サンダー・ライガー,Jūshin Sandā Raigā) is a Japanese professional wrestler who primarily works for New Japan Pro Wrestling. He has wrestled and beaten many of the top smaller wrestlers in both Japan and the United States, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest and most revolutionary junior heavyweights during the 1990s.
Professional wrestling career
Training
Keiichi Yamada was an amateur wrestler while studying in high school, where in his senior year, he lost to Toshiaki Kawada in the finals of a national championship. After high school, he applied to New Japan Pro Wrestling's (NJPW) dojo to become a professional wrestler in the early 1980s. He was not accepted because he did not meet the height requirements they had at that time. Yamada was determined not to give up his dream of becoming a professional wrestler, so he left for Mexico and began his training there. By his own account, he was almost starving while studying there, so NJPW officials who were visiting took pity on him and asked him to come back to Japan to train in their dojo, where he was trained alongside the likes of Keiji Mutoh, Masahiro Chono and Shinya Hashimoto.

Top 50 Moves of Jushin Thunder Liger
Jushin Thunder Liger very well may be the most traveled Japanese wrestler of all-time. The man has been everywhere, from having nearly 4,000 matches in NJPW alone, to NOAH, to ROH, to PWG, to Australia, the UK, you name it! He truly is one of the best of all time, and I hope you can see in this video. Hopefully I'm not missing too much, as I used as little of NJPW as possible. I know he did a ton of high-flying stuff towards to the beginning of his career. He evolved over the years into an amazing technician. This video shows how well-versed his moveset ultimately became. From creating and using the Shooting Star Press early on, to adopting power moves like the Brainbuster. Hope you enjoy the video!

Keiichi Yamada(山田恵一,Yamada Keiichi, born November 30, 1964), better known as Jushin Liger(獣神ライガー,Jūshin Raigā) and later Jushin Thunder Liger(獣神サンダー・ライガー,Jūshin Sandā Raigā) is a Japanese professional wrestler who primarily works for New Japan Pro Wrestling. He has wrestled and beaten many of the top smaller wrestlers in both Japan and the United States, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest and most revolutionary junior heavyweights during the 1990s.
Professional wrestling career
Training
Keiichi Yamada was an amateur wrestler while studying in high school, where in his senior year, he lost to Toshiaki Kawada in the finals of a national championship. After high school, he applied to New Japan Pro Wrestling's (NJPW) dojo to become a professional wrestler in the early 1980s. He was not accepted because he did not meet the height requirements they had at that time. Yamada was determined not to give up his dream of becoming a professional wrestler, so he left for Mexico and began his training there. By his own account, he was almost starving while studying there, so NJPW officials who were visiting took pity on him and asked him to come back to Japan to train in their dojo, where he was trained alongside the likes of Keiji Mutoh, Masahiro Chono and Shinya Hashimoto.
