I trained with him at Shobukan when he was a green belt and just in 7th grade. I was a junior in HS. He tossed me around like a friggin rag doll.

If you were really here in Beijing, you would have seen him give some dirty lickins to two of the top-10 judo players in the world before losing to the 2007 World Silver Medalist from Cuba by penalty. Taylor fought hard, he has nothing to be ashamed of, and I'm damn proud that he is representing Hawaii in the Olympics!

not just a great jodo athlete but also a very good wrestler from what i remember. taylor won the state championships in folk wrestling twice and i think had a memorable match with the undefeated hawaii school great wrestler sean collins.
