The truth on Martial Arts History Part 1

[millionsmore4u]

wow! interesting comments. you guys are big on the "Japan vs Korea". How about- this is a great martial artist, with great skill. Style and system do not matter to a true warrior. in every style, there are those who can fight and those who can't. this man is a great warrior. thank you for sharing

[dvsxavier]

where is the shock factor in this?...Before the war, all Koreans had to Japanize their family names....

[VerseUniverse]

Go Fuck all Japanese who think TaeKwonDo was copied from Karate. Do you know history? TaeKwonDo lasted since around 50 B.C during Sam-Gok-Ji of Korea. TKD is mainly kick, just because TKD is popular than Karate in Olympics, it doesn't give the right to Japanese to talk bad about it. I'm not complaining, I want to educate people with facts.

[Coldshadow25]

As interesting and powerful of a man he was i gotta say some of it is little unbelieveable, the whole thing with the bulls may have been true but there is a special spot on the back of the head that takes one good hit and they die, found this out in school while seeing a video on how meat is produced a stake is driven into this spot, as well kyokushin was okay for fighting but developed only that making it one of the less well rounded arts. Not calling it bad just a bit incomplete. Imo!!!

[IEKUKATAKA]

#2. That format stacks the deck in favor of men with musculature in the thorax and those few able to kick the head. In spite of his accomplishments, which were many, I find hard to understand how a knowledgeable man would leave that tournament farce behind. As for tournament karate, Nakayama should have been shot, all he did was weaken the teaching and future of magnificent martial arts. Tournament karate is incapable of producing good karate-ka. Many will never understand that however. 

[IEKUKATAKA]

Oyama was a good karate-ka and produced a good style. However, he did not kill bulls, that is a wives tale. My last teacher was invited to one of those exhibitions and told us of it, his last statement in broken English was, "bull win." As for his full contact style, that is a deluded expression. Two players face off, they can not strike to the face or any vital area other than the general chest. They can kick to the head but that is very unlikely for most. How is that full contact karate? see 2

[NebunLaCap]

why do koreans and japs and chinese all hate each other you all look the same

[LOLEliSays]

i do Tae Kwon Do

[mastahdragon]

i think he is one of the greatest martial artist. but what is the point of the video? are you saying he is great because he is korean? or are you insinuating that he learn some secret korean martial art before he move to japan.

and no i dont hate korean or japanese

[mrmasterlee1]

A very interesting, but not surprizing bit of History I was not aware of, but happy to hear. I have known some Koreans who would make God shiver in his Shoes, Byong Yu for instance is a very skillfull, Deadly person of korean heritage, Kang Myung Kyu, another scray Guy. I am very greatfull to have a MooDukKwan Foundation in my MooSul! :)

[TuxedoMask67]

This is all information that I was already aware of, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I particularly enjoyed the music.

[prihanantozh]

KILL BULL !!

[woodwynn]

it is very cool because Mas Oyama's book on kyokushinkai karate was one of the first books I got when I was about 12yrs. old (41yrs. ago) along with books on ninja and judo then at 16 did Tang soo do! my good friends were Japanese , Korean and Filippino (now also!) this is God' plan for me ! I became a missionary in the Philippines!

[RwKhuti]

Pride is a Beautiful thing.

stand tall, it's the only way humans reach for the heavens

[toneboot1]

from my research, all forms of martial arts started in ancient kemet, it is written on the walls of the pyramids, don't yake my word for it, research it yourself.

[ktang2k8]

Are there any famous western martial artists Im interested to look deeper into the western martial art culture. Maybe I can learn something from them. Also what kind of martial arts do western culture seems most popular?

[jiggahippo]

We all need to get over the race issue and just study martial arts for what it is nothing more. Trying to call issue to a race one way or the other is NOT what the arts are about. Im happy u r proud of ur culture but dont u feel its taken a step back.

[towerofdubs]

so are you japanese or korean?

[TheRealestEver]

lol pwned em

[dmp762]

[joncobber]

wots this tune called any1?

[taigyokushodan]

Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell. I think this one is a remix.

[juanmanuelcoria79]

yes, the story its true, I heared that from other independent sources. he never denied hes korean origins, and hes karate is very influenced for korean martial arts. he and hes style are very respected for other karate students inside and outside of japan

[Fingyfin]

4:37 is that Gen Choi Hung Hi who created Taekwon-Do standing directly to his left?

[MadeInBGR]

Yes, that is Gen. Choi, Hong Hi

[ymk19]

yeah

[ebrown405]

Amazing!

During the kumite in which Oyama fought 300 men in two minutes bouts, I did the math, he fought for 10 continuous hours over those three days. And winning each fight progressively to continue on is just an incredible feat to me.

I can see why he is a great inspiration to you. Whoa! I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the "godhand." :p

You are everywhere. It's always a pleasant surprise to find a new account. *bow*

[CulturePeaceForever]

hadn't read about teacher Masutatsu Oyama since the 60s,those photographs are amazing,and very nostalgic of many things.Thank you for the information.Lots of mindful imprints come to understanding now! (bow)

[rafael1hapkido]

a real master of martial art cant really hard fight with humans, because otherwise they gonna be died in seconds.. in my view, but im talking rubish, so forget these words, and make expirience with a grandmaster who wears the blackbelt not for holding the pants!!!

[yokyonim2001]

Martial Arts is a way of life. Everything we focus on doing is martial arts it's not just kicking , punching, forms and block so please stop misinterpretating who we are. What I mean is that martial arts grow inside of us,

[adamsk2009]

i never heard that history before that something i have to learn from to be a martial arts

[VikingNinjitsu]

impressive. Those poor bulls though.

[andrewelliott123]

Out standing as always. Oyama was a great man

People stop pointing fingers of how we are different and find the ways we are the same. Like it or not we are all on this planet together. Lets learn from each other. When the day is done a punch is still a punch and a kick is still a kick and God rules us all.

[Rapidfirehand]

About the bull I just heard that oyama broke his horn

[Rapidfirehand]

If you guys not interrsted in the hystory then why the hell do you look for it and why are you so litle

to say this and that is not good is very very very easy but to really do something better thats something special dont ya think to ?

[gnulinux540]

Thanks !

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

Ok..first of all..I've never heard of a bull being a native of Japan. Bulls are something you see only in Spain, Texas and Mexico. So... why are there bulls in Japan? As for killing bulls.....c'mon..really? =_= first of all..to kill a bull with your bare hands you have to strike it HARD ENOUGH at the base where the horns are at (his head basically) since that's the weakest place that I know of.and i should know..I live in Texas after all. I can take down a small bull but KILL IT!? HAHA no!

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

.with bare hands!? C'MON!... I mean,..if it's one or two bulls then yeah..but several!?!?...something smells fishy here.. and I looked him up too and even with that I still don't beleive it..I don't care how buff that guy is.

[RDraGon2179]

I am sure the bulls were brought to japan just as they were brought to america. I am sure that he fought one bull at a time and the bulls didn't know they were in a fight until too late. Even the Filipenes wrestle with bulls to try to put the pulls on the ground. It may have been possible but most likely the bulls were tied up and he went to work on the bulls head.

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

i have to agree with you on that one

[Huhmasta]

lol what?

[kravmagiczka]

i hate the music stuff is cool

[aconchon]

Hi is one of the great masters who inspire me to this day. I can also mention Rickson Gracie, Yip Man, Bruce Lee, Gen Choi Hon Hi, Helio Gracie, and Hee Il Cho.

[xXspiddleXx]

Question: can you think back in history to when this theory was first applied?

Answer 2: LONG BEFORE ANY SCHOOLS

So this channel is CRAP!!!

[xXspiddleXx]

YOUTUBE VIDEO-The truth on Martial Arts History

This is a channel that claims to know the history of the Martial Arts. To debunk this we must look at what Martial Arts is.

Answer: Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat. While they may be studied for various reasons, martial arts share a single objective: to physically defeat other persons and to defend oneself or others from physical threat.

[xXspiddleXx]

TAEKWONDOBILL stated it best the history of Martial Arts can be traced back to the first recorded fight Cain and Able maybe even before depending on if Adam and Eve fought. I would so they did (LOL) its just a guy and girl thing

[RYUS0069]

전설이되어버린 최배달 그의업적은 정말대단하였다

[masterchijuan]

this is a very inspiring video, thank you.

[TAEKWONDOBILL]

taekwondo came from shotokan which came from shorin-ryu (okinawa) which came from china which came from India which came from pakistan which came from rome which came from greece which came from ireland which came from.....on and on. No one can say they invented fighting save maybee cain who slew able.

[karatekakhan]

he didnt return to Korea becuase his mother told him,to become a big man and not return til then.

also he never introduced Kyokushin to Korea as ,it had Tae Kwon already.he believed it didnt matter what style.

[guerrierodelgiaguaro]

Please, dearest Humble Sensei, more lessons of history: I like them a lot.*****from Italy.

Time ago Choi Baedal (Oyama Masutatsu), now Gregory Park and Sung Hoon Choo (Yoshihiro Akiyama), always great warriors from Korea.

Sincerely your Stefano.

PS: Dearest Humble Sensei, I appreciate you widely also because you promote the brotherhood against the xenophobia and the racism.

[chicken5soup]

Cool its Choi Bae dal omg I didnt know till you said it I knew he travled to fight alot of people and its was during the time Japan and Korea were having problems if I remeber right but anyway I love Choi Bae dal I even watch a movie based of of him called Fighter in the Wind if you havent seen it its awsome. He went againts so mayn people but He never fought a Bull in the movie it just shows him training in the forest alot in hte beginning.

[TheObservational]

as you probably will know already.the japanese chinese and korean share a major mutual influence in martial arts history.you will get the japanese saying japan koreans saying korea and chinese saying china.its an arguement thats lasted for century's.personally i believe its all about the person talking about it wether they believe it or not.these history lessons are very informative and interesting and therefore appreciated.

[pipandpopsucopalis]

i knew he wasnt japanese cause he looks more korean. its sad though that the imperial army ostracized him for being against the invasion of other asian countrys. well, thats the japanese.

[telosnut]

I very much enjoy history of all cultures. Thank you so much for sharing this. Very interesting, it definitely shows the impact of dedication and spirit and what can be accomplished with determination. Even through what seems to be two controversial cultures.

Thanks again. Take Care.

[LocoRedKixx]

i know the history of Mas Oyama "my master Pedro Mizukami retur to Brazil when he was 28 years old and told us all about Masutatu Oyama(Choi Baedal) and start teacheng us Goju ryu-Shorin ryu-Kyokushinkai, he never hide to us the real history, Mizukami was prout to tell us all....i got my Black belt 2 dan in Shori ryu and brow belt in Kyokushin. took me from 3 to 18 year of my life, then i came to USA...know in 4 dan in TKD WTF and 2 dan in hapkido(wiht out Kyokushin i would not be MMA fighter)

[thinker900]

Don't you think I know that already. I'm not some moron randomly making comments about stuff I don't understand...that would be just plain stupid. I never said you were. You made a comment that sparked my interest so I wanted to confront you on it. Anyway, yes the base came from Chinese shaolin kung-fu, but it changed bit by bit into a new form like Karate,etc. No different from the man that got his base understanding from the JAPANESE. In short...he didn't make it on his own out of the blue.

[tayounorise]

"in short he didn't make it on his own out of the blue"

well i was very extremly talentated and unique in his personality as he went to study all alone by himself in the nature doing hartcore training..thats where he intensived his talents...nomatter if he got his base knowledge from japanese or chinese or indians

[tayounorise]

i do not care, he is a very very special martial artist and i do not believe he became only because he study karate in japan but because his talent and his person hope you understand me

namaste

[tayounorise]

"he was extremely talentated" not me ;-)

[tayounorise]

also i believe to become a grate (martial)artis you also need a extraordinary strong and open minded spirit body and soul!

[Vikverjar]

There was a Kyokushinkai school in the small Norwegian town where I grew up, Horten. I don't know if it still exists, it was about 20 years ago, and I haven't lived there for the last, what, 18-19 years, so I don't know, but it was rather amazing, especially now that I know more of the martial arts world than I did then. Back then it was just a Karate Dojo, and I didn't know much of the different styles of Karate.

V.

[tayounorise]

and i do not believe that master chosonmusa think koreans are superior over any other martial artist because of their heritage but if they are "superior" maybe you mean they are at a higher level that is not because the heritage that is because of very hard training and also disciplin and a bit talent also....

that is my personal view

[thinker900]

NO! What I mean is that despite their Korean heritage they are not superior. Everyone has the potential to become just as great if not greater. It doesn't really matter what background heritage or ethnicity you are anyone can achieve that status in the martial arts world.

[tayounorise]

i agree with you that anyone no matter which heritage can become a gratefully unique martial artist and also a enlightend person....

and martial arts (and also other arts) are in every culture to find no matter if marital arts , or dance or painting poesie....

i believe in one world, one martial arts and one human race.....we are all children from god

namaste

[tayounorise]

we are all children from god if we choose to be his child in accepting jesus christ in our heart

[tayounorise]

his base knowledge of what of marital arts?

no he started in korea at 9 years if i read well...and he trained himself in abstinence of people in the nature....he had a unique mind and spirit of "himself" to be a martial artist and even japanese martial arts was also influenced by chinese shaolins every where in the world we find roots of the martial arts every where!

[tayounorise]

sorry should be "martial arts" not marital lol

[benelliman]

Yes. mas oyama is Korean. may he rest in peace.

And his Korean name and knickname are accurate.

[dorgoron]

nice music, and thank you for the lesson. I liked it, although I knew that mr.Oyama - sensei was Korean by birth from history books that I have here in Croatia. I have, also, great fondness and utmost respect for him and his kyokushin karate. Oss!

[YoiHi]

There is a great movie made about is life, called "Fighter in the Wind".

Mas Oyama Sensei is an inspiration to us all and the undeniable proof that ethnicity isn't the way to measure a man's worth.

Thanks for sharing

[AikikaiAikido]

Very interesting 5*

[MOUNTAINOUS]

thanks for the knowledge. 5 stars

[luequea]

that was awsome

[kenshin715]

Even in Wikipedia it is written that Mas Oyama was born in South Korea.Great video!5*

[buklao123]

I new Mas Oyama Korean if you you Kyokushin karate and take it seriously and not know that Mas Oyama is Korean then your dumb

[Noctambulist47]

nice

[ninthsunlee]

Matsui shokei kancho is korean too.

His korean name is Mun-Jangkyu(문장규)

[ChosonMusa]

The first student of Mas Oyama.

[ninthsunlee]

Yes master Park.

Mun-Jangkyu is best student of Mas Oyama

and He is the President of kyokushin.

[aristokraticassassin]

Hey I know Shotokan ^_^ anyway awsome video, yay. I know a little more about Asia. sweet. God bless you master Park. *bow* ^_^

[JutsuDoShu]

it's like what Bruce Lee said,

"it makes no difference where it came from. as long as it will help you in a fight, u should learn from it."

[murasameneku]

oh, and let us not forget. regardless of race, we're all brothers and sisters. our family tree's all originate in the same place ;)

[murasameneku]

rating, 5 stars

comment. firstly that pic of him at 4:07 is just scary. he was just a phenomenal man.

great video, i have to say.

a lot of people will still argue that Oyama was born in Tokyo haha. good research, and knowledge Park-sama ;)

the bull-fights goodness where to even start on him. such an influential man in general, not to mention within martial arts specifically.

i find a great deal of influence in him as well, i've always had so much respect for Oyama.

thanks for this video!

[StormWolf01]

I think that anybody who shows interest in kyokushin karate is aware that Masutatsu Oyama is actually korean.

I read somewhere that he was once attacked in a bar by some guy with a knife. The story says that he killed him, unwillingly.

If the story is true, it shows the effeciency of well mastered martial arts, for thoses who have doubts about it.

It also remind people that the techniques learnt in the dojo may be dangerous and are not to be used unless in a life threatening situation.

[Vikverjar]

I heard that story about Hwang Jang Lee, a Korean Tae Kwon Do master, but I'm not adverse to believing the same of Mas Oyama.

[Yokixx]

Thank you Master Park, my husband is very aware of this history as he studied under Master Mizukami who studied under Mas Oyama then moved to Brazil. Great video, thanks for sharing the fact with us. 5 Stars!

[peacemaker281]

A wonderful tribute to a great man/martial artist's. A history in the arts. A man that from one race was able to influence another race. But to me that's what it is all about. Race is only superfical. Cut me and cut my brothers from other races we all bleed the same colour "red". We can all be proud of from where we came from our family tree, But I will not be controlled by it. I enjoy the fact that I can have all races/colours that I consider friends, brothers and sisters. Great video Greg!

[MartialArtNerd52475]

That made sense why kyokushin Karate was so effective above many kararte, it was revolutionised by Korean TKD which influenced the flexibility and kicks in Mas's Karate.

[DEMZLY]

A true 'hard man' if there was ever one.

[defensiveempowerment]

a very educational video Sensei 5 stars thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[MartialStorm]

great historical video sensei.very informative and easily understood.thank you

*bow* 5*

[cuevasdecamuy]

interesting

[nibirutendu]

this again reinforces the notion that its not only the art,its the artist and his heart that matters...great people like mas oyama demonstrated that talent and will dont belong to a country.love,compassion and devotion matters.i hope people wil take this evidence in a positive light,and stop fighting and squabbling over birth and race,something over which man has no control of.thank you sensei.

[brutus0199]

Thank you. The world should know these things.

[TaeIeon]

Thank's for the history M. Park, really motivating. I knew quiet a bit about M. oyama but still learned more from this clip. :)

wonder who it is about nex ;)
