The end of the video is so encouraging! Am I the only one who felt the need to get up and starting to train right away? He is definitively one of the men I admire the most: he dreamed of becoming the strongest, train in order to achieve his goals, never ever stopped following his own way. Many people tried to beat him to prove he was wrong, that he was not the greatest, but HE WAS NEVER DEFEATED. He lived and died as the greatest. We should learn from his perseverance in achieving his dreams.
great comment, i traine hard at workouts, i trained karate for 2 years, but there was no money, i come from a poor family, but i never stopped training myself in art of fighting, i almost have my own style, im getting back now, like comment 1 says, its a way of life....i love that life and i wont lose it ever.
Devotion to sport is great but if beacomes a mania its bad. average man fights in whole life about 2-3 minutes. and to throw your whole life for those 3 mins is kinda stupid and its not healthy
@rebrebni Sport? Karate is no sport. Is not even a fighting system. Karate is a WAY OF LIFE, or in japanese a DO. People like Oyama who trained the traditional, TRUE form of Karate, not the shameful and disgusting comercial and competitive form which is so popular today, lived everyday of their lives following the principles of Karate: honour, respect, kindness, patience, humility, courage... We do not train to win a trophy or to defend us 3 minutes in our lives, but to become better people.
@18100Heath He trained to fight other karate styles, he trained to win and he issued challenges as a sport. It was his way of life, but his way of life revolved around competition and perfection, just like his students. If competition is not fun for you then you enter for the wrong reasons. Competition is the spice that helps build the drive and motivation that lead to better training.
@psychedashell Please do not compare Sensei Oyama's fights to modern, no-contact competition. Even modern Kyokushin full-contact competition is still far different from his fights. I don't have anything against competition, but I don't like when people forget that competition is just a little bit of the world of Karate. And competition Karate is completly useless in an actual fight. Sensei Oyama could fight in the ring as well as in the street, that is what made him a great karateka.
@18100Heath I don't recall making a comparison to no-contact. Maybe you missed the point. Oyama's karate began, grew and ended with competition. The guy was an athlete, just like these guys. His athletic ability was insane and that translated well to a street fight in the same way that a boxer, footballer or ice hockey player's would. He had a great head for fighting, but he was faster, stronger and had better reflexes than just about anyone. That came from competition.
@psychedashell If I remember well Sensei Oyama only participated in one competition in 1947, a no-contact competition, which he won. After that he received lots of challenges, but his training was never focused on Karate competition, he just trained to beat anyone who fought him and to be the strongest. After many fights he settled down and founded Kyokushin Karate, the first Karate style with full-contact competition. So he never fought under Karate competition rules. he had to adapt his Karate
@18100Heath It was a full contact tournament in which he was penalised heavily for fighting too hard. That bothered him because he was learning a fighting art and being told not to hit so hard. He competed in boxing and Judo as well. That's why he made knockdown the way it is, a hard hitting competition, that's why he threw down the gauntlet to other styles. Wanting to be the best makes it a sport no matter how brutal you are.
@psychedashell JKA tournaments have never been full-contact, because this would go against Sensei Funakoshi's teachings. They use to allow a little contact but they never strike as hard as they could (they do not use protections and strikes to the face are allowed). Sensei Oyama was penalised for fighting full-contact. And wanting to be the vest in something does not make it a sport. If so, then art is sport to, no? Artist want to make the best works of art, so you say they are doing a sport?
@18100Heath Yes! Artists that enter art competitions are competing, like it or not when comics are entered in popularity contests they are competing, however if an artist is just standing there declaring his work the best in the world he's blowing hot air. Two guys agreeing to stand toe to toe and fight are competing no matter how few rules they've decided on and since there's no record of any of Oyama's challenges being sneak attacks or ambushes I'd call it sport.
@Greyback59380 The third one is from the soundtrack of the last samurai "A Way Of Life" i think but i ain't really sure so just download the whole soundtrack :))!
@Rnt911 In the late 40's and 50's, when Oyama was in his prime, challenge matches were rarely filmed. Even if he could not fight at all it is clear he was a great teacher when you look at the quality of his students.
@Rnt911 they say about him: "If he tries to hit you, you're broken. If you block the punch, your arm will be broken or dislocated. If you don't block it, your rib will be broken. They called him "The Godhand"." I believe this is the pure truth, so... Is this enough to assure you he's a good fighter? :P
You people nowdays, it's sad... I have not seen any videos of a Knight fighting in battle either... How can we know Knights were good fighters??? I never saw any videos of a Mongolian horseback archer, or a Roman soldier, or a Samurai, they must not be good fighters... Picaso never made a video for PROOF that he was a good painter...

@parovoz73 please karate is not a way of life,it is just weaker than muaythai.
if u think that way then muaythai is more than a way of life,any small village of thailand or laos any person could go to the ring and fight,they do not need to know if u pratice martial art,just say u want to fight.
@parovoz73 Thats Shotokan (Gichin Funakoshi, Karate Do etc), the video is about Kyokushin (kumite, 300 man kumite), lol, and Karate is a way to fight whiteout weapons, whit empty hands. Or I'm wrong?
@cchhouji study something? dude, i am at the same dojo as he was and i see the old dude who trained him back in his kyokushin days like 5 times a week. He really left kyokushin early and became member of the Seidokan-Karate organisation which was strongly involved with k1 (Kazuyoshi Ishii, a seidokan karateka is the founder of it) Ishii was involved with the yakuza and there were high bets on the fighters back in its early days. Big money, much more attractive than kyokushin you see.
@BadBlueBoy213 define early. He fought in 2 seperate world tournaments, the second of which was in 1991. Kyokushin in those days paid no one to fight (still don't) and it was required that you hand in your membership if you wish to fight professionally. Kyokushin does not pay fighters. Andy went ti Seido in the last days of career so he could fight professionally and earn money the majority of his time fighting and 90 percent of his technique is pure Kyokushin.
one thing is for sure kokushin karate is Japanese... but one thing amazes is why he changed his name (his birth name was Yong I-Choi but instead he wanted to be called Choi Bae-dal but he changed his name to Masutatsu Oyama ) why it's like me going to japan staying there for 20 years and then change my name.... which is weird
@cchhouji As an immigrant in Japan, Young I Choi was hosted by the Oyama family who gave him the name of Oyama. His two "younger brothers" Oyama Shigeru and Oyama Yasuhiko became world famous kyokushin instructors.
Did you know that he lived most his life as a Japanese person with citizenship to Japan and made Kyokushin with traditional Okinawan Karate and Judo techniques? Both Japanese arts... Yes he was Korean by birth, but im sorry to burst your bubble... Oyama didnt walk around Japan with a Korean flag singing Koreans national athem... Some claim he incorperated Taekkyun into Kyokushin, if so all Taekkyun gets credit for is the ax kick and the spinning hook kick... Great kicks, but come on...
Read his biography and other's work on him. He was most proud of being Korean. He only ate Korean food and anyone who isn't Japanese who has lived in Japan knows about the racism...just imagine it back then. The kicks in Kyokushin do come from Korean influence, though, as they are not in any traditional karate styles until recent. Your attempt to sully an argument with him needing to walk around with the Korean flag and singing the anthem tells a lot about your reasoning and bias.
There is the Japanese view and the Korean view, both are extremely biased. The Korean view is that he was some awesome guy that ran around with a Korean headband and ONLY ate Korean food which is very similar and in many cases the same freakin food... The kicks of Kyokushin are not very Korean, I was in Taekwondo for 3 years, the kicks arnt the same, I have done Karate more then Taekwondo, but did alittle Taekwondo like I said. SOME kicks like axe kick are Korean, but many are used in both..
There is no 'view', his own quotes and works/friends and acquaintances factually state his admission of being a straight line Korean who had to make sacrifices to make it in a racist world. New kicks of CHAMBERING/axe kick/spinning back kick,reverse roundhouse, etc.., are not staples of karate before mid 20th century...can you comprehend. I just basically reiterated what was stated in my first comment. Do some research before replying, ok? Ok. Can you read ...Japanese or Korean?
I know alot more about Karate then you assume... Please dont treat me like I know nothing... Choi did Okinawan Karate and Goju ryu Karate before he made Kyokushin. Its said he did Taekkyun as well as a kid, but I dont know. Chambering kicks is from China, which is where about 80% of Karate came from. I will admit that kicking was done differently before the 20th century, because Karate actually works... They originally never kicked above the waist. Korea and Japan are both biased...
Chambering kicks did not originate in China. Hence, their is no visual or drawn sets showing any 'full' chambering. This is why all Chinese gung fu flicks did not show intricate chambering kicks before Korean martial artists got involved. Bruce Lee was as close as they got before the Chinese decided to embrace this style of kicking. But I get your argument. Sorry, to be condescending, but your previous comments just made me figure you were very young.
Besides chambering your kick makes the kick not as powerful. And China chambers many kicks, like the front kick, side kick. Korean martial arts have very high kick and jump kicks, but I wouldent say that they are the most effective kicking methods... It usually leaves you on the ground =P In the martial arts world, Korea has archery. They are some awesome archers, but I wouldent say that TKD or Taekkyun has been one of the most effective arts... At least sense sport over took them
Chambering is exactly what gives you power if you strike without the hip itself. Well, taekwondo kicking...ask the veterans from the Vietnam War if it isn't effective, right? Effectiveness isn't graded on sport but strictly the person applying with intelligence. Of course China chambers somewhat with the front kick and side kick, otherwise you couldn't really kick...it would be similar to swinging a 2x4 : P
No the sport is killing taekwondo, if you actually know what your talking about, which I assume you DO, then you know it... Sport TKD fighters are laughing stocks of martial arts... They have HUGE egos, black belts in like 2 years... I tried sport Taekwondo for a few years, I come from Karate and it is SO hard not to punch them in the face, they have no defence or hand techniques... We learned them, but they dont know how to use them. But yes, some Taekwondo schools are legit, like ITF
I get your point, but in regards to a martial art...that is up to the practitioner; he/she decides if they are training for excellence in SPORT or in true application of self-defense. Muay thai guys can't handle grapplers...are they an embarrassment because sanda fighters easily and consistently suplex them silly? The sport is applied to performing in a sport ruled arena, a PERSON decides if it's applicable in the streets. Huge egos are apart of combat/sports in general...get used to it.
I can read Japanese at a first grade level, but I can speak it pretty well. I grew up in the US, my grandpa is from Guam but was raied under Japanese occupation during WWII and lived in Japan for 20 years. Our Japanese is not like mainland Japan,and sense we moved to the US my familys way of the language has changed alot too,adding english words and grammar rules ect
Korea and Japan have fought forever, it makes sense our combat skills are often similar...Besides its all just copy of
Oyama never formally trained in any Korean art. When he lived in Korea he was studying Chinese Kempo. Kyokushin is based off of Shotokan and Goju Ryu with some kickboxing.
In his WHAT IS KARATE book, Oyama mentions some familiarity with Korean Kempo. Oyama started training in Chinese Kempo at age 9 (1932) and left 4 years later for Japan (1936), way before TKD was really formed. Oyama was proud to be Japanese and took a Japanese name. I think it's safe to say that Taekkyeon was never a major influence on his MA training.
I wouldn't say it's safe. Koreans have always had 'kicking arts', so even if they used a certain martial art, it would be influenced by that 'style' of going about...
When Oyama visited Korea to train TKD guys (train, not BE trained!) Kyokushinkai was already around for 3 years officially. Choi Hong Hi wanted Oyama in his new organization (ITF) since Oyama had made himself and his style enormously popular since the 50s. Oyama refused to join the ITF. WHAT IS KARATE came out in 1966 and had many of the same techniques you already mentioned. As for chambering kicks coming exclusively from Korea, absolutely ridiculous. Research Gichin Funakoshi's books.
Funakoshi's book explains chambering for kicks, but only the basic kicks that you 'must' chamber for there to be any power(front kick, side kick, back kick and low to mid roundhouse. It's noted, there were NO practitioners kicking the way they do now...not one shred of proof from any pictures, writings, or videos. Not even eyewitnesses. Well, I personally haven't found any. But, I will say there might be of course. You really know your stuff, man. Kyokushinjarhead 4 sure
"Now" is the keyword. I seriously doubt Oyama was tossing spinning hook kicks left and right. Knockdown fighting has incorporated techniques from all over (e.g. mawashi geri very similar to roundhouse kicks from Muay Thai), but many of Oyama's earliest students were all from other styles who wanted the jissen kumite training. They all brought something different to the table which was added in to knockdown fighting. Much like many other combat sport tournaments evolved.
@GuamKomudo but in the end the blood that flows through him is 100% korean, whether you like it or not...., i could live in australia 100yrs ut my hair will always be black, my skin yellow and my eyes black, and my blood will always be korean.
I'm just gonna be honest with you... Weather you live ANYWHERE for 8 billion years, Koreans and Japanese are the same people, the only difference is "Japanese" people moved to an island. Take away the lines on a map, we're all the same blood, but culture is different. His blood doesn't matter, his martial arts training is that of which came out of JAPANESE culture, which REALLY tells us who is who, not our blood, our culture and way of life. Karate is Japanese.
My opinion is that we can't compare matsui with any other kyokushin fighter.... he's just in a high level that u can't just reach by practicing, he's just a kyokushin magician... his precision is like a sniper rifle that won't miss a target, his strength is like a raging volcano, his heart is like a tiger and ofcourse i can't forget his perfect graceful technique.
his balls shine like the sun and the moon, his breath is like the majestic dragons, his knuckles can cripple the oldest of mountains, his feet hammers the ground without regret, his lungs cleans the air, the hair is so shiny it cures cancer. his knee strikes terror in the wicked.
I had the honer of studying under Shihan Nakamura during the time and after he started Seido Karate (interesting time) Between him & William Oliver I NEVER took class lightly. Shihan is a very very powerful striker
The number 2 should be Soshu Shigeru Oyama. Shigeru Oyama was Mas Oyama's best student. He fought the legendary 100-man kumite in the mid 1960s, defeating 120 consecutive opponents, and rose to the rank of Grand Master. He was selected to introduce a combination of traditional Japanese Karate with the modern system to American students. All worldwide Kyokushin champions subsequently traveled to New York to train under the tutelage of Shigeru Oyama, coming from Japan and Europe.

@BadBlueBoy213 - K1 is also a purer fighter style. In Kyukushin we're not supposed to hit in the face wish makes it an awkward fighting technique.

Xberto83 1 year ago
but what is K1 is it a style?
no, it isn't it's kung fu karate kickboxing kempo. that's why they call it K1 because many martial arts start with the leter K.
and he left kyokushin? He never left kyokushin when he was training he would put on his GI because of karate
he trained in japan because of Kyokushin
Your just talking nonsense.
study something before yelling it out.

@cchhouji study something? dude, i am at the same dojo as he was and i see the old dude who trained him back in his kyokushin days like 5 times a week. He really left kyokushin early and became member of the Seidokan-Karate organisation which was strongly involved with k1 (Kazuyoshi Ishii, a seidokan karateka is the founder of it) Ishii was involved with the yakuza and there were high bets on the fighters back in its early days. Big money, much more attractive than kyokushin you see.
BadBlueBoy213 1 year ago
@BadBlueBoy213 define early. He fought in 2 seperate world tournaments, the second of which was in 1991. Kyokushin in those days paid no one to fight (still don't) and it was required that you hand in your membership if you wish to fight professionally. Kyokushin does not pay fighters. Andy went ti Seido in the last days of career so he could fight professionally and earn money the majority of his time fighting and 90 percent of his technique is pure Kyokushin.

one thing is for sure kokushin karate is Japanese... but one thing amazes is why he changed his name (his birth name was Yong I-Choi but instead he wanted to be called Choi Bae-dal but he changed his name to Masutatsu Oyama ) why it's like me going to japan staying there for 20 years and then change my name.... which is weird

@cchhouji As an immigrant in Japan, Young I Choi was hosted by the Oyama family who gave him the name of Oyama. His two "younger brothers" Oyama Shigeru and Oyama Yasuhiko became world famous kyokushin instructors.

lawker777 2 years ago
Did you know that he lived most his life as a Japanese person with citizenship to Japan and made Kyokushin with traditional Okinawan Karate and Judo techniques? Both Japanese arts... Yes he was Korean by birth, but im sorry to burst your bubble... Oyama didnt walk around Japan with a Korean flag singing Koreans national athem... Some claim he incorperated Taekkyun into Kyokushin, if so all Taekkyun gets credit for is the ax kick and the spinning hook kick... Great kicks, but come on...
GuamKomudo 2 years ago 14
Read his biography and other's work on him. He was most proud of being Korean. He only ate Korean food and anyone who isn't Japanese who has lived in Japan knows about the racism...just imagine it back then. The kicks in Kyokushin do come from Korean influence, though, as they are not in any traditional karate styles until recent. Your attempt to sully an argument with him needing to walk around with the Korean flag and singing the anthem tells a lot about your reasoning and bias.
blueprophet9 2 years ago
There is the Japanese view and the Korean view, both are extremely biased. The Korean view is that he was some awesome guy that ran around with a Korean headband and ONLY ate Korean food which is very similar and in many cases the same freakin food... The kicks of Kyokushin are not very Korean, I was in Taekwondo for 3 years, the kicks arnt the same, I have done Karate more then Taekwondo, but did alittle Taekwondo like I said. SOME kicks like axe kick are Korean, but many are used in both..
GuamKomudo 2 years ago
There is no 'view', his own quotes and works/friends and acquaintances factually state his admission of being a straight line Korean who had to make sacrifices to make it in a racist world. New kicks of CHAMBERING/axe kick/spinning back kick,reverse roundhouse, etc.., are not staples of karate before mid 20th century...can you comprehend. I just basically reiterated what was stated in my first comment. Do some research before replying, ok? Ok. Can you read ...Japanese or Korean?
blueprophet9 2 years ago
I know alot more about Karate then you assume... Please dont treat me like I know nothing... Choi did Okinawan Karate and Goju ryu Karate before he made Kyokushin. Its said he did Taekkyun as well as a kid, but I dont know. Chambering kicks is from China, which is where about 80% of Karate came from. I will admit that kicking was done differently before the 20th century, because Karate actually works... They originally never kicked above the waist. Korea and Japan are both biased...
GuamKomudo 2 years ago
Chambering kicks did not originate in China. Hence, their is no visual or drawn sets showing any 'full' chambering. This is why all Chinese gung fu flicks did not show intricate chambering kicks before Korean martial artists got involved. Bruce Lee was as close as they got before the Chinese decided to embrace this style of kicking. But I get your argument. Sorry, to be condescending, but your previous comments just made me figure you were very young.
Take care.
blueprophet9 2 years ago
Besides chambering your kick makes the kick not as powerful. And China chambers many kicks, like the front kick, side kick. Korean martial arts have very high kick and jump kicks, but I wouldent say that they are the most effective kicking methods... It usually leaves you on the ground =P In the martial arts world, Korea has archery. They are some awesome archers, but I wouldent say that TKD or Taekkyun has been one of the most effective arts... At least sense sport over took them
GuamKomudo 2 years ago
@GuamKomudo
Chambering is exactly what gives you power if you strike without the hip itself. Well, taekwondo kicking...ask the veterans from the Vietnam War if it isn't effective, right? Effectiveness isn't graded on sport but strictly the person applying with intelligence. Of course China chambers somewhat with the front kick and side kick, otherwise you couldn't really kick...it would be similar to swinging a 2x4 : P
blueprophet9 2 years ago
No the sport is killing taekwondo, if you actually know what your talking about, which I assume you DO, then you know it... Sport TKD fighters are laughing stocks of martial arts... They have HUGE egos, black belts in like 2 years... I tried sport Taekwondo for a few years, I come from Karate and it is SO hard not to punch them in the face, they have no defence or hand techniques... We learned them, but they dont know how to use them. But yes, some Taekwondo schools are legit, like ITF
GuamKomudo 2 years ago
I get your point, but in regards to a martial art...that is up to the practitioner; he/she decides if they are training for excellence in SPORT or in true application of self-defense. Muay thai guys can't handle grapplers...are they an embarrassment because sanda fighters easily and consistently suplex them silly? The sport is applied to performing in a sport ruled arena, a PERSON decides if it's applicable in the streets. Huge egos are apart of combat/sports in general...get used to it.

I can read Japanese at a first grade level, but I can speak it pretty well. I grew up in the US, my grandpa is from Guam but was raied under Japanese occupation during WWII and lived in Japan for 20 years. Our Japanese is not like mainland Japan,and sense we moved to the US my familys way of the language has changed alot too,adding english words and grammar rules ect
Korea and Japan have fought forever, it makes sense our combat skills are often similar...Besides its all just copy of

Oyama never formally trained in any Korean art. When he lived in Korea he was studying Chinese Kempo. Kyokushin is based off of Shotokan and Goju Ryu with some kickboxing.
kyokushinjarhead 2 years ago
@kyokushinjarhead
"Formally"...key word.
blueprophet9 2 years ago
In his WHAT IS KARATE book, Oyama mentions some familiarity with Korean Kempo. Oyama started training in Chinese Kempo at age 9 (1932) and left 4 years later for Japan (1936), way before TKD was really formed. Oyama was proud to be Japanese and took a Japanese name. I think it's safe to say that Taekkyeon was never a major influence on his MA training.
kyokushinjarhead 2 years ago
@kyokushinjarhead
I wouldn't say it's safe. Koreans have always had 'kicking arts', so even if they used a certain martial art, it would be influenced by that 'style' of going about...
blueprophet9 2 years ago
When Oyama visited Korea to train TKD guys (train, not BE trained!) Kyokushinkai was already around for 3 years officially. Choi Hong Hi wanted Oyama in his new organization (ITF) since Oyama had made himself and his style enormously popular since the 50s. Oyama refused to join the ITF. WHAT IS KARATE came out in 1966 and had many of the same techniques you already mentioned. As for chambering kicks coming exclusively from Korea, absolutely ridiculous. Research Gichin Funakoshi's books.
kyokushinjarhead 2 years ago
@kyokushinjarhead
Funakoshi's book explains chambering for kicks, but only the basic kicks that you 'must' chamber for there to be any power(front kick, side kick, back kick and low to mid roundhouse. It's noted, there were NO practitioners kicking the way they do now...not one shred of proof from any pictures, writings, or videos. Not even eyewitnesses. Well, I personally haven't found any. But, I will say there might be of course. You really know your stuff, man. Kyokushinjarhead 4 sure
blueprophet9 2 years ago
@blueprophet9
Correction: Nobody was doing 'full-on' chambering with all kicks.
blueprophet9 2 years ago
"Now" is the keyword. I seriously doubt Oyama was tossing spinning hook kicks left and right. Knockdown fighting has incorporated techniques from all over (e.g. mawashi geri very similar to roundhouse kicks from Muay Thai), but many of Oyama's earliest students were all from other styles who wanted the jissen kumite training. They all brought something different to the table which was added in to knockdown fighting. Much like many other combat sport tournaments evolved.

I'm just gonna be honest with you... Weather you live ANYWHERE for 8 billion years, Koreans and Japanese are the same people, the only difference is "Japanese" people moved to an island. Take away the lines on a map, we're all the same blood, but culture is different. His blood doesn't matter, his martial arts training is that of which came out of JAPANESE culture, which REALLY tells us who is who, not our blood, our culture and way of life. Karate is Japanese.

My opinion is that we can't compare matsui with any other kyokushin fighter.... he's just in a high level that u can't just reach by practicing, he's just a kyokushin magician... his precision is like a sniper rifle that won't miss a target, his strength is like a raging volcano, his heart is like a tiger and ofcourse i can't forget his perfect graceful technique.

The number 2 should be Soshu Shigeru Oyama. Shigeru Oyama was Mas Oyama's best student. He fought the legendary 100-man kumite in the mid 1960s, defeating 120 consecutive opponents, and rose to the rank of Grand Master. He was selected to introduce a combination of traditional Japanese Karate with the modern system to American students. All worldwide Kyokushin champions subsequently traveled to New York to train under the tutelage of Shigeru Oyama, coming from Japan and Europe.
