Tadashi Nakamura karate Demo 1977 (kyokushin, Seido karate)

Kyokushin karate legend Tadashi Nakamura and student William Oliver (now dead. R.I.P.) gives a prearranged fighting Demo shortly after their split from Kyokushin to found World Seido karate.

For some reason this video is blocked in Germany due to music copyrights?!? Sometimes Youtube is stupid. Sorry about that, its nothing I can do anything about.

@kolsyrade not all dojos do point sparring, i'm glad we don't. i think its become a problem because of insurance policies, lucky enough in NZ we dont have to worry about that

@ange1os Personally I want my karate to be as effective as possible. That means learning how to use it practically, which in turn means hard sparring, and lots of it. If I want to meditate I can learn that separately instead of learning it as a sideproduct of learning a fighting style.

I lament Nakamura mellowing in his old age from the firebrand fighter he was when he fought in Thailand as a youth, but If that is what he wants... ok.

To each his own, I guess.

@kolsyrade Martial arts isn't about who is the best fighter, we focus more on the spiritual side of martial arts instead of who can knock someone out

The Yakuza story I'm not sure about, and even Kaicho has never said so. He did have an attempt on his life (shot from behind) and the only person to ever threaten him publically was Oyama. If he ordered a hit on Kaicho, he took that to the grave. It was speculatd that it was an over-zealous Kyokushin student looking for revenge for his master likely w/o Oyama's consent.

HeroCasey seemes to have some bias. There is no denying that Kaicho Nakamura is a great fighter in his own right and has earned this 9th dan by impartial judges (unlike Oyama). Kaicho was his best student, his youngest shodan and his US proxy. Kaicho's account is that Kyokushin was more interested in top athletes that teaching karate to all in the traditional Japanese style. To call him a racist is just stupid.; he trains EVERYONE and has said he owed Mas Oyama much too.

@Karateforlife777 you said that you called him a "cocky midget?" to his face, maybe you should have called William Oliver a "cocky midget!?" ROFLMAO!

actually, as with many, they split from kyokushin due to politics and money

[blugularis]

looks like he is pulling from Ashihara style
