  • Supposedly he did lose to a Taichi guy and that he changed his thoughts on Martial arts afterwards. This is supposedly in his journal. I don't know if this is a fact. Does anyone know?

  • @ZenPhilosopher123 Someone who once met him (just shook hands) once told me that Oyama went to Hong Kong and fought a Taichi master. Apparently Oyama could not hit this guy. The Taichi guy said quote "You are definitely strong and will probably break my ribs if you hit me but you cannot because your movements are too rigid and there's no fluidity". So Oyama went back and incorporated a lot of Taichi principles to his teachings. That's where Ashihara Kyokushin originated from. Believe it or not.

  • Hi MasOyama1.

    Unfortunately, this video clip was played on TV and never released as a VCR tape or DVD.

    The video clip that I have was downloaded from internet many years ago.

    If you want, I can send you the original video clip (without subtitles) on a CD, if you pay the postage :)

  • How my heart bleeds when the old man stated that Mas Oyama left the group for "sport".

    So to this man, Karate is a sport. sobs sobs sobs....

    osu

  • @hsphouse Makes a lot of sense. I do remember a documentary saying that Mas Oyama was physically much stronger than the Taichi practitioner and that he would break his ribs if he hit him. And Ashihara Karate is does have a lot of those flowing movements similar in principle to Taichi. Thank you

  • hehehe... i give respect to him.......... ^_^ i am a proud to be karate(shotokan) black belt practitioner good luck to everybody

  • @harukohayashi i know that.

  • That movie was based on Choi Bae Dal/Masutatsu Oyama's real life...

  • @harukohayashi Is that movie fact?i don't get it , they made books ,movies,games,comic books but no documentation of the fighters..i try my best do research about him i know he was cigar smoker and love to gamble. but i know thing for sure he was a tough he adapted himself to fight thai fighter.

    it's just as same Bruce lee i heard he was pot smoker during the 60's altho he was a movie actor . "be like water my friend" come on the dude was clearly high..idc what people say oyama faught real.

  • @hotpopcorncake I'm not really sure but I think one of them is the Nijo Dojo

  • I don't care anybody say kyokushin for life Ous!! other people or here that don't know they just talk. or ignorant talk.
