if you play rough games with Fuji, he will continue to play rough. As a kitten this is cute but as an adult, this could hurt. I recommend to stop all games that encourage him to bite or scratch humans (even in play). Satisfy his desire to play with more constructive games and really get him moving. He wants to wrestle, encourage him to do so with a large stuffed animal. I hope this helps.
