Did Yamcha retire from martial arts?

[Kid Buu]

Well, Akira Toriyama did say Yamcha and Puar work as bodyguards. There has to be some fighting involved there right?

[Careless Saiyajin]

Yamcha in buu saga was seen in the otherworld training against Olibu and Gorilla. Kurillin then states "Great if we were back on Earth we couldn't get him to train but here he's a star". This is from the Dragon Ball Z anime so i hope this contributes to discussion. This could mean he trained still yet inconsistently or more over not at all. I will try to find something of this nature from the manga.

It contributes as much as anythign else, I'd say. There's really no decisive word on it in the manga itself, so any evidence from other media would be welcome, as far as I'm concerned.

Is this from the original, or one of the dubs?

I would agree with you that based on the material we've discussed thus far it seems pretty much to be speculation. Also, to answer your question this is from the Funimation dub. (Which i understand is by no means the end-all-say-all definitive for everyone)

I posted a clip of the JPN Version of the scene on the first page.

And look at me having not read the entire thread

My bad.

[Kid Buu]

Well, in the anime its said he did stop training, but then he started training again when he died. So yes and no?

Then the anime follows the manganese again and filler Yamcha doesn't train again. Though I'm sure had he stayed dead that he would be Filler Yamcha forever

Yes and no seems to be right, however if i had to draw an opinion based conclusion then at this point the drift i get from this is that he retired being consistent with his training. He seems to fall off and stop training yet begin again when interest or inspiration sparks at that moment. This perspective seems to be conveyed to me by his attitude in the otherworld combined with his habits later on earth. If i stumble upon anything of use from the manga regarding the subject i will be sure to mention it.

No, he retired from making an ass of himself.
