Any good recommendations for (realistic) martial arts themed manga?

#1
I'm looking for manga where the story revolve around martial arts, and as realistic as possible. No magic fireballs shooting from fingers and such. Any good recommendations?

I have three myself which I think are pretty amazing:

オールラウンダー廻 - About a kid starting to do MMA. Very realistic and good human drama. Amazingly detailed drawings depicting technical martial arts details

コンデ・コマ - Based on the real story of Maeda Mitsuyo who traveled the world in the Meiji-period fighting people and showing the power of judo/jujutsu. He's the one famous for teaching jujutsu to the Gracie family in Brazil, spawning what is now commonly known as Brazilian jiu jitsu

KIMURA ~木村政彦はなぜ力道山を殺さなかったのか~ - Based on the real story of Kimura Masahiko, a great and famous judo-ka. Famous in the West for fighting against Helio Gracie in 1951.
