  • Oyama was considered by many to be the greatest living martial artists. I read from a book that to develop his discipline, endurance, and body he spent a year and a half living alone in the desolate mountains of Japan, doing 2,000 push-ups a day and pounding his fists against trees until they were bloody.

  • There are so many underrated martial artists in this world 0__0 learned Oyama's existance today and I think... well... DAMN. Oh and screw all the people around the world who dont believe in martial artists and think they are just pub from the medias. THESE MONSTERS ARE REAL!

  • 0:23 - OUCH!!!! Yikes, caught him with a clean right hook.

    Thumbs up if it SUCKS to take that hit...

  • but, there is absolutely NO evidence that Mas Oyama was a great fighter even though the media faked the stories out here and there to make him a "fake legend" of Kyokushin.

    He was a true bull shit, and Oyama is a "karate swindler" of 20th century.

  • @joyouslife4all Lol your an idiot , the video is evidence , research him u lazy bastard

  • I don't like those people who compare One martial art to another...They are fighting to determine how useful their techniques are, so that if they fail, they can make it better...There is no superior Martial Arts...OSU!!

  • @ghiblix2 the bulls he faught where to be slaughtered either way.. so it wasn't that barbaric.. it's not like he burged into a random farm and killed the bulls..

  • I have trained under one of his students, and i continue to train in kyokushin. That segment in the video where he fights the bull is real. He actually fought a few bulls and broke their horns. Anyone else here do karate?

  • this man taught my father while he was in the military. those whining about killing bulls and showmanship and saying there are only stories about him. talk is cheap. this form of martial arts is a great form and was used to beat many black belts in a tournament the students my father took were green and brown belts. and they wiped the floor with 2nd and 3rd degree black belts of taekwondo.

  • @ghiblix2 the absence of video makes me to think he never killed a bull by the empty hand because we can not see this full video...we can see only cuted video.

  • why they never showed the process of breaking bull's  weapon on its head?..i think it may be fake story he cutted this weapon y hand..

  • 0:25 - HOLY CRAP! LOL that right had to suck..nice clean temple shot. OW.

  • it doesn't matter the bulls were going to die any ways besides =.=;

    if you eat meat you support animal abuse so shut the hell up you animal lovers.

    this guy wanted to train harder so he did what he had to do hell if i could i'd go and wrestle a bear with my current judo skills. hell i don't care if i died just as long as it's in battle.

  • @lovelessAlx- bullsh*t.

  • did he kill the bulls?

    if he did FUCK HIM

  • @420sensi don't you have a hardcore show to be promoting your lame PETA bullshit at?

  • Mas Oyama shows that martial arts regardless of what style is just a man made system in which the priority is the practitioner himself.

  • deja viejo te quiero ver peleando contra kimbo slice comes de la fuente o contra cro cop

  • Каратэ, вырубил быка!!! О сука чёрт!

  • so funny killing bulls just for the cameras..disgusting..to prove he's "macho"...

  • @eeyore077 WOW!! you are ignorant.

  • @deerider i know dude i know...lol shut up

  • this is propaganda :D

  • Poor Bull, there was a Kyokushin guy that went up against a black bear. He should have done that. The bull doesn't know what the hell is going on.

  • @BushidoBudo9000 no useless kratee lad ever fought a fucking bear or bull.The only bull they know is the constant flow of it that comes out of their mouths.

  • I WAS wondering if He founded the kyoku..

    then who gave him the 10 Dan did he gave it himself ?

  • don't fuck with oyama OSU!!!

  • it was realitty that him was usually killing bulls w hands n over 100 ko in 1 day at famous tournment?

  • yeah that's right. you're only good at brainless bulls.

  • i dont go for ki, chi, chakra, or anything else

    its really mind and body training...

    Good Video, arigato!

  • OSU!

  • Another Korean legend the japanese people worship.

  • Masutatsu Oyama

    Has became a student of Masahiko KIMURA, the man who defeated Helio GRACIE, breaking his arm in the ground.A 4th dan in JUDO, maybe a better STRIKER than his master Kimura.

    Incorporated some Muay Thai techniques and scored 2/3 (lumpini Stadium) against Thai Boxers.

    A man who have mastered effective use of life force called KI and developed a well rounded system of Martial Arts yet preserving the Ancient Spirit of Karate Discipline. Great fighter

  • ok obviously oyama believed in it if he teached it to his students as a crucial part of the art...one hit one punch was his whole fucking philosophy and cant be done without the use of chi...ask oyama whether or not its real lol...and tyson did use chi...energy in his hands came from somewhere...its not some magical electricity its just a term for power rotating from the core of ur being...in other words throw punches using the hip and reciprocity

  • chi means lifeforce. its not hip rotation,you idiot. thats technique

  • well both of you are right in a way..... Mas oyama trained hard and got great results for it....but also chi ....is energy, and you can't train without energy, so chi plays apart. Alot of the time people have just got messed up definitions for certain words. Anyway enjoy your training, whatever it is that you do!

  • OSS !

  • OSS !

  • I'm tired of this about one martial arts is better than another martial arts. They are all useful in their own ways. It depends on someone's skill level to decide on which is better. I believe that people should be able to take all martial arts and form it into your own unique style. Mas Oyama was a great fighter. He trained in isolation for two years to improve his martial arts. He was dedicated to it. So it's not on what style is the best, because there is no one superior style.

  • completly true

  • That is right.

    It's not the art that makes a better fighter but the fighter itself.

  • @teddycvxv It's all about training! If a fighter trains himself both inside and outside the dojo, with and without instructors then he/she will do well. Technique, aerobic and anaerobic training, sparring and muscle building are all aspects of good training. Without it style doesn't mean shit! Ground fighting is only one useful tool among many tools. It gives the fighter more options. But it's not the "answer" that everyone once thought it was thanks to Gracie's BS capitalizing on it.

  • @teddycvxv depends on the fighter's training + skill + experience and number of serious matches in a ring (plus fights against fighters using various styles)

    its not as simple as one style beats another

  • @teddycvxv You "believe people should be able to take all martial arts and form it into your own unique style" or Bruce Lee originated that way of thinking and you agreed is what you meant to say.

    Give credit where it is due.

  • @nickflit Bruce Lee was a great martial arts philosopher, but I doubt he originated that frame of thinking. There were people before him who did martial arts as well and were able to combine aspects of different styles to create their own style. Bruce Lee is just a well known martial artist, so many believe he originated that way of thinking. Plus I was just stating my opinion, not claiming to have originated that way of thought.

  • Mas Oyama was a tough bastard. I love old school karate. JKA shotokan from this era was tough too, but Oyama was a ferocious fighter who wanted karate to be pure combat.

  • mma is for entertaiment

    Martial Arts (Real) were made for war!

  • mma may incorporate more styles, but it does none to the level that studying one style for years. You might get good quickly, but you can never get exellent. Mas Oyama would have beaten any mma fighter because of his knowlage of fighting which takes years of training, it cant be taught

  • well i'm not so sure but oyama was a realy good fighter,mma fighters have advantages over other's because its allaround so even if oyama is better in let's say striking,the fight can be taken to the ground and finished with a submission cause he had no knowledge in jui-jitsu...

  • his iron palm and dim mak would have killed jui-jitsu. in the ring it looks good but on the street with no rules or a ref to save ur ass its a diff game. take him down it wouldnt fucken matter one bit he would have alrdy killed the man. there is no defense against chi or internal damage. one hit is all it would take. remember in the ring its beyond safe and have so many rules to keep those fights safe. even if taken down its easy to rip somebodys throat or flesh or take an eye out etc etc.

  • The fact that you mentioned dim mak and chi in you reply completely renders your comment useless and totally stupid! Put the Bloodsport dvd down, take your Bruce Lee posterz off the wall and get down the gym/kwoon/dojo/where ever and train....

  • lol train huh, im 6'1 260 lbs and love to fight. it was a good try to sound cool and funny by saying noob shit like "zomg put down the dvd and posters omg go train". good job! so plz explain to me what that meant?? obviously u dont know fucken shit about anything so stfu. maybe u can research people like Doo Wai, Elton Trower, Pan Qing Fu, all masters and masters of true dim mak and chi. they all have open gyms anybody can come in and challenge or whatever else u wana do.

  • I dont know shit about anythin yet your the one who said "there is no defence against chi" fuck!! Ive been doin summit wrong all these years hittin the bags, sweatin and sparrin when i couldve been throwin chi balls at them!! Thanx for informing me. Mate this aint street fighter, with one touch kills and fire ball specials! What next, all martial arts came from the shaolin temple? Dude you believe the BS, i'll be in the gym training. The proper way =]

  • so what happened you stopped replying? i guess you finally realized what a dumb fuck you are! best thing you could do.

  • Have you made any other points for me to answer?

    Other than telling me to look up chi masters, which btw is BS, you aint said anything of substance. Well apart from giving yourself a nice little ego booster by telling my you love fighting. Go you!! Want a gold star?

    I probably know a hell of a lot more about MA's than you bud, you do believe in chi after all. Go do some research man, it a circus trick at best. No fighting application at all.

  • just hows mow much you know! like i said do more research on the subject cause we all know u dont even train in martial arts. grandmaster elton trowers shows it all the time and does demos. dont be a fucking pussy and hide behind ur computer and go find out if its fake. i guess mas oyama didnt use any fake iron palm or chi when figthing bulls and over 200+ challengers. anytime ur in Ga i be more than happy to show u how fake it is. dont let ur mouth write checks ur ass cant cash.

  • Lol what??? Your saying im hiding behind my keyboard yet you have just offered to fight me? Pot calling the kettle black!

    I dont do martial arts yet i have a video up of me boxing. I dont box anymore, ive dropped it to take up Muay Thai. Not fought competitively yet tho but have trained in Thailand. And your tainin is?

    Mas Omaya used chi? Lol no mate, he was a hard bastard and trained hard. Thats like saying Mike Tyson used chi to knock ppl out, no mate he had a hard punch thro training =]

  • Masutatsu Ōyama's actual stats:

    [Oyama tested himself in a kumite, a progression of fights, each lasting two minutes, and each after the featured participant wins. Oyama fought 300 men in 3 days.

    He was also known for his propensity to combat with bulls, bare-handed. In his lifetime, he battled 52 bulls, three of which were killed instantly with one strike, earning him the nickname of Godhand.]

    that man had magic. the magic to make the impossible possible ;)

  • also: /watch?v=BR4joCFu4EI

    :D

  • You know, they have Chi in karate too, except they call it Ki. So Mas Oyama probably did believe his hard hitting ability was due in part to cultivating internal energy/chi. Pretty much any martial artists who believe in internal energy train physically as well. And FYI, people who claim they can shoot their internal energy outwards or use Dim Mak are also taken skeptically by other chi/ki believers.

  • What is? You might wanna be more specific and back up what you say with points instead of just making a blanket statement like that. Otherwise you're just trolling.

  • theres no ki concept in karate. mas oyama truely believed that the ultimate punch was derived from using the whole body and the fast transfer of weight from the feet to the punching hand. not some fucking bullshit naruto fucking energy myth.

  • There's no ki in karate? Hmm, pardon me then. There certainly is in some other Japanese martial arts. Anyway, there are things that modern science has not been able to explain yet. Like the way yoga masters can slow their heartbeat down to 4 beats a minute or the way tibetan monks can generate so much body heat at will that they dry wet towels wrapped around them. Both of those have been documented and proven. There was also a Ripley's Believe it or Not show where they had this Chinese healer

  • who claimed to use internal energy as therapy on his patients. They used an infrared camera to record him and they could clearly see that he was indeed emitting heat from his hands. The part on the patient's body where he pointed his hands was getting warmer on the camera too. I'm not saying I believe in force blasts or energy balls or flying. I believe in internal energy for healing (like accupuncture) and that certain excercises will generate "energy" within the body.

  • woa thats crazy

  • what was mas oyama's grade in kyokoshin? In other words, did he hold a grade in his own style?

  • i'm fairly sure he was a 10th dan at death, this was due to his proficiency but also to him having created kyokushin.

  • you have a misconception of what ki really is, due to anime and other media outlets ki (also known as chi, and qi) have romanticized it to be what you describe. Your statement is wrong, he not only believed in ki but openly taught his students qi gong which is an exercise specifically for the cultivation of ki/chi/qi.

  • actaully mas oyama was a 4th dan in old school judo. he could grapple with the best of them.

  • He would of beaten them he has beaten countless boxers and wrestlers in America

  • Oyama DID train Jiu-jutsu. He was also 4th dan in Judo. He teached ground stuff to his first students, but time and tournaments have taken that part away from Kyokushin (although there are some european dojos that teach basic ground techniques). Karate from the 60's is something very different from what we practice today. I'm not saying Oyama would beat them ALL, but he was indeed a great warrior and had extensive training. He teached us to train hard to win/survive, there are no shortcuts!

  • @kashpc he TEACHED you,id say learning how to write the english language would be a start before posting.Jon blumings organisation(oyamas most senior non jap student) teaches a full combat art including grappling.Sem schilt is his most famous current student.

  • @billysue2 What is your point?

  • "finished with a submission cause he had no knowledge in jui-jitsu..." Oyama acquired 4th dan at the Sone Dojo (a specialist submission judo school). His Judo teacher , Kimura, defeated Helio Gracie. He had plenty of knowledge of Jui-jitsu.

  • he trained my sensei

  • let me say it again.m .arts(milatary art,killing art)if u dickheads in here fully understood anything u would get of your high horse about mma.we talk in class about idiots like u in here that have no respect for the traditional arts.m. arts is a killing art period.put an mma fighter and a master ranking traditional fighter in a ring and hve the go at it to the death.the mma clown would be dead.thats just a fact you dont because you clowns dont train.you read alot of bullshit and think its true

  • like i said some peolpe in here are stupid.you want the quickest course to a black belt and you are happy.i am a martial artist.i know what i am talking about.i have been training for six years consistently.tang soo do,hapkido yu sul and some tae kwan do.oyama is a traditional martial artist very skilled.all you clowns who get a hard on for (mma) are idiots you know nothing about traditional m. arts.mma is garbage american made martial arts.pure nonsense.i know none of you clowns in here study.

  • Wow, did you go out of your way only to train in shit martial arts. Why did you leave out Aikido?

  • That's quite the generalization. Fact is, many "martial artists" get their heads handed to them whenever they go toe to toe with a decent MMA fighter. True, its a sport and it really sucks for dealing with weapons and multiple assailants. But college football, boxing, and Greco Roman wrestling are sports as well, and most black belts these days can't even hang a honed sportsman dealing real violence from any of these, let alone a trained pugilist.

  • i love you cum drop dickheads that no nothing about martial arts and cling to mixed martial arts bullshit.mma fighters are a joke.they are trained to fight only one person at that can prove to be fatal in the streets.martial arts is more than how quick you can knock someone out its a level of conciousness that is achieved over time.i am a black belt in korean tang soo do martial ar for the lst 7yrs and i have alot to learn still.

  • Ooh look at you, Mr. Street fighter that takes on everyone on the streets...puhleeease.

  • very sad that you have no dignity

  • It's not sparring...

  • he is best that's all i can say

  • Where are those hand techniques in modern Kyoshushin? As you can see, Oyama was more famous for his stone breaking, bull killing hand moves, not his kicks. So why then is there so many Kyokushin guys who just use kicks? Not complaining, it's just that Oyama's tsuki to the stomach (legal by Kyokushin rules) could knock someone to the stomach. Where is that in modern Kyokushin?

  • and superpowerful....

  • Very powerfull, and flexibille, like a skilled Kyokushin Kai Karate-master:-)!!!

  • i wonder why we never see those ninja karate masters in MMA? if they are so godlike how come they only fight their brainwashed students?

    perhaps they know they would get killed. if not standing up, then after they have been taken to the ground. cant see what people see in those weak martial arts.

    MMA, Muay thai, wrestling, boxing, BJJ all those down-to-earth styles will always reign supreme when it comes to fighting.

    Cmon karate fanatics, GIMME SOME THUMBS DOWN I DISRESPECTED UR SENSEEEEI

  • I think Karate is less suited to MMA style combat than other styles like Muay Thai and BJJ. Its better versus other Karatedo or just random opponents in the street.

  • good point, but a proficient karate student would have a great kicking advantage over anyone in the ufc. kicks are greatly under used in mma. the few ppl that use them dominate with them. cro cop and gsp for example.

  • Not really. Muai Thai and Kickboxing are prominent fighting styles used in MMA and so many people use kicks. Cro crop now a days is not a very good fighter and got destroyed by Gabriel Gonzaga who in turn could get destroyed by a lot of HW. GSP does use kicks but so do many people like Anderson Silva whose is probably first or second best P4P in the world. Kicks are not rare in UFC and Karate fighters wouldn't have that as an advantage. Problem with Karate is it does not deal with grappling much

  • let me tell you fuckhead. if you went in the ring for 10 seconds with oyama you would be dead. if oyama can chop bulls horns he could chop off your head so dont say his martial art is not down to earth because you put him up against anyone the fight would be over quicker than you can blink. just keep that in mind. you no the reason you never see karate or ninjutsu masters in mma its because they would dominate so easily.

  • 'the reason you never see karate or ninjutsu masters in mma its because they would dominate so easily'

    HAHA thats one of the best excuses yet! are your godlike masters too humble and respectful to fight in a bully sport like MMA? they dont need the money they have inner peace?

    Bullshit. your masters arent stupid (like you) and they know they would not have a chance in MMA. thats why they dont compete in it. they prefere meditating in their dojo and having teenage nerds worthshipping them

  • NHB fights have been around long before UFC and "MMA", and the idea that in the last 2 decades we have made more advances in h2h fighting then in 10s of thousands of yrs seems the most stupid egocentric idea I have ever heard. the idea that a Brazilian doing joint locks and chocks on the ground was some how never thought of before in thousands of yrs is down right uneducated stupidity. MA has be far better in the past. But money has created mcdojo larks and now meat head larks

  • Ehm.. no

    Money and competition has only made martial arts more effective. In vale tudo there are some decent prizes for the winner. So everybody is training as effective as possible to make a living of fighting

    in the old days martial arts were dominated by ancient traditions without any development. what the master told the student was the truth, and the student just had to settle with that.

    we will never agree. u belong to the 80's were kids were facinated by karate kid movies. im realistic

  • its easy to tell you know absolutely no history whats so ever when it comes to martial arts passed about the time you were born. martial arts were proven on the battle field, and in hand to hand life and death confrontations. karate was created because Okinawan had no weapons and had to fight with empty hands vs trained samurai who used swords and Jujitsu. if the teacher talked shit he ended up with his head on a spike and his guts on the ground. life and death were at stake not some prize money

  • old day martial arts were about going home alive at the end of the war, stead of rotting in a field somewhere. these people had to be the best or they died. Vale Tudo while very good in practice and challenges is not real combat. real combat you die if you lose. don't confuse 1980's chuck norris karate kid karate with old world Okinawan karate. they are not even close to the same beast. 80's karate was cute and marketable. old world Karate was brutal and very violent.

  • i agree with you in some areas. but believe me. a good mma fighter would be able to beat the shit out of most, if not all, karate practicioners. this is keeping in mind that mma has elements from karate, and old styles.

  • now days i would say you were pretty right. but old world Okinawan martial arts was not what you see to day at the WKF tournament. their fighting style, execution of technique, and fighting strategies were different back then. there was no run in their and hit the guy as many times and hope and pray he doesnt shoot up under you. as you are not starting to see in people like Lyoto, its about being defensive/counter fighter when fighting a grappler or a person with a weapon.

  • C your not understanding that Oyama was pretty much the guy who reinvented mma.. He used to practice traditional japanese karate.. but to him he saw flaws in it. So he added different styles of fighting into his.. So thats called mma. a person who can do more than one style of fighting.. like here in america alot of college wrestlers are learning boxing, Kickboxing, amd Jiu Jitsu. so they can strike and Submit someone as well as take them down. thats mma.. more than one style..

  • for you who say that does not know anything about martial arts. MMA is not martial arts. Its a violent sport that people consider to be martial arts because most of them are using myuai thai (thai boxing). And when you say can beat the shit out of them all or most....THAT IS THE STUPIDEST COMMENT I HAVE EVER SEEN ON YOUTUBE. It depends on the trainer who practices and how he/she practice. Bruce lee once learnt taekwondo and Karate... is he shit?

  • He's an actor with no proven fights.

  • karate is down to earth, just a shame alot of it is really watered down now. not full contact anymore. maybe only kyokushin comes close to what it should be.

  • You do see alot of Kyokushin, or an offshot, karateka in MMA, especially in Japan. Kyokushin at least has the balls to go an acutally fight and adapt. You generally won't hear the same "too deadly" BS you hear from other karate schools. Hell Kickoxing started in japan from Kyokushin fighters going to Thailand to fight MT. Hey found some holes in thier gaem and added some MT and boxing and Japanese kickboxing was born.

  • I know a bit about kyukushin and its much more down to earth compared to the many bullshit styles asia has

    but im still convinced that oyama is not as godlike as many thinks he is. there is no doubt he was good at his time, but martial arts are evolving especially since the starting of MMA and the fighters are getting better and better.

    im positive that the professional fighters today are more skilled than the different legends that all styles have

  • true.

  • he was the biggest fighter in the world and everybody who thinks it different is know nothing about the karate

  • Kyokushin = Yakuza

  • Kiku2002 is right to a point. there were Yakuza in Kyokushin dojos, but they were also in Judo and other MA dojos as well.

  • True that. Also, not all Kyokushin groups are Yakuza related. One does come to mind, however...

  • il maestro oyama che potenza!!!

  • you have my total respect to you master oyama!

  • he only killed bulls that was going to be slaughtered anyways.

  • Mas Osama the legend

  • the godhand of karate

  • OmGiTzNiCk, c'est très gentil. Je prends ça en note.

    Merci beaucoup

  • Je trouve également impressionnant que Mas Oyama encourageait à consacrer plus d'heures à son art qu'au sommeil. Je ne crois pas que j'y arriverais. Ah...Je pense au fait que j'ai lâché le Kyokushin par manque de discipline et de persévérance et que j'ai osé m'appeler « OSU NO SEISHIN ». En tous cas, un OSU vif, sincère et respectueux à tous ceux qui lâchent pas.

  • tu veu de la discipline de lorganisation de la vrai theorie? oublie les japonais essaye le kung fu, ecris Shaolin Wing Chun Nam Anh Kung Fu sur youtube tu va trouver de la vrai technique

  • Mas Oyama est un grand guerrier et le Kyokushin Kai est un art expéditif très exigeant où il n'est presque pas question de fioritures stylistiques. L'idée de « perseverance sous pression » y est omniprésente et les références au Traité des 5roues sont nombreuses. Le vécu de cet homme est fascinant. J'admire les gens qui ne lâchent pas les arts martiaux. Ce n'est pas tant de buter des taureaux, mais bien de se surpasser qui compte, de suivre sa voie en évitant de se corrompre.

  • If u look at how he fights, u will see that ho focus only on special targets to become the best man there is. He would just watch and block, then counter at a certain point at your body, and "disarm" u completely. U would never see it comming.

  • I like Mas oyama,and his Kyokushinkai karate is the toughest karate.i took a picture with him before he died,now im proud to say this..

  • The fight to see would've been Mas Oyama vs. Masahiko Kimura in an NHB match...I'd give my eye teeth for that match up.

  • i kno iwould get my ass kicked but i would really want to fight him it looks kinda fun

  • i kno iwould get my ass kicked but i would really want to fight him it looks kinda fun

  • Met Mass Oyama at Crystal Palace Sports centre in about 1980???, while training in Kyokushinkai.

    Actually i was afraid to approach him so just took a picture as he sat with his wife.

  • dont know what to say about this video...

    he truly fights differently than the usual karate... fists in direction of the head.

    guess i don't like it, everyone can hit someon with a fist into the head

  • the first break was bs you can see the grain of the wood is dark. its easy when its like that. it like breaking gram crackers.. but that is alot of boards.

  • I had a dream about training in Mas Oyama's dojo with his students, I just happened to visit his class and was enrolled, he seemed happy with my training and sparring, and then seemed to drift off.

  • im soo jelouse ive always wnted to trin wit him.

  • As a jujitsu practitioner i have to say that i deeply respect Kyokushin-kai. They have serene warrior spirits and are tough as nails. I salute you!

  • Osu, sosai.

    I'm truely sorry that your wonderful karate has been torn apart by all the organizations... Since you passed away no real World champion has walked among us. As they did in Scotland : Unite the clans! One Kyokushin, one path...

    Osu

  • I could not have said it better...

    OSU!

  • He was Korean and Japanese because he didn't cancel his Korean nationality when he got Japanese one. Some people think that he hated Korea. However, it's not true. His Japanese name was 大山倍達,Oyama Masutatsu, which means big mountain of Masutatsu(It is pronounced as Baedal in Korean). Baedal is known as old word for Korean or Ancient Korean country. According to his sons, he looked sad when they talked about Korea. Although Korean media introduced him as Taekwando man 40years ago, he was not mad.

  • He's real name was Choi Young Eui but he changed his nama into Choi Bae Dal because he wanted to show people that he is proud to be a Korean. Bae Dal is the old name of Korean people in Korean language.

    Ofcourse, he used his Japanese name Oyama Masutatsu in Japan but he never forgot his motherland Korea.

  • be amına godumun olu öküzden ne istiyorsun o moynuz götüne girsin

  • hes  korean right? :) not like it makes a difference.:)

  • when he first came out to Japan's karate league , they didn't recognize him b/c he was jo-sen jin (korean)

  • mas oyama's real name is Choi, Young-eui(spell can be wrong...-_-;;;;)

  • please shup up who say that bruce lee can beat oyama...

    Oyama is legend! he beated everyone who was in japan! his martial art is for real fighting...

    in addition he's korean!! not japanese!!

  • Yeah man. People don't know Oyama's greatness because there wasn't enough movies about him.

  • LOL, that's a funny argument. There were NO movies about Funakoshi yet everyone realizes his greatness. Mas Oyama did too.

  • watch fighter in the wind u would enjoy it

  • i was responding to someone else...

  • Oyama was a very very strong guy, very tough and he was technically great but i dont think his agility was anywhere near on par with his strength and toughness which is a shame because if it was then he would be absolutely incredible , but i think bruce lee had an amazing balance of strength agility toughness awareness and concentration that was almost godly lol :P
