  • this is a note to the uploader of this video. I don't think this is Soshu Oyama, but his son. Listen to the narrators at 0:38. He doesn't say Shigeru oyama. And at 1:13, he clearly says, Saiko Shihan's son.

  • Maybe it appears different, but I was saying here are the two, Soshu and his SON PERFORMING TAMISHIWARI (Breaking) bats. Obviously Soshu appeared in the second clip at 1:23 in the sword demonstration

  • OMG!!! Great watching. I've just heard stories about this. Soshu Is so young!!!! Trained with him for 7 years, he didn't sell he retired from actively running the organization. He teaches 2xs a week in NYC.

  • Gald to see some people from headquarters watching this video. They trained with my teacher Shihan Fujiwara. Osu!

  • Osu!! Well I just forwarded it to all my friends I trained with so they'll see it now.

  • Back in 1996, 2 of us from Kyokushin (Shihan Fujiwara) went to the summer camp at Brodie Mountain and I remember Jose (world champion) and Patrick Gromieux (sorry if mispelled) I left in that year but I've been thinking of fighting again. I'm 36 but still I dream about knockdown tournaments. These styles never seem to leave your heart!

  • Bats cant attack you by themselves and Im sure in a real world situation an attacker would give you all that time to mentally prepare. I still rely on Heckler & Koch!

Thank me later. Be a part of what I know.Welcome to my life.

  • You should try to break one on you knee and one with your shin then I' ll respect your opinon. ( just conditioning the shin hurt aaaalot) My respec to those that do break bats with the shin, Usu!

  • 当時の最高師範達に会ったことない人には・・笑、

    この人は今どきの大会専門の極真選手たちとちがう。

    自分勝手で気が強く身体も大きな米人が弱い奴についていくわけな­ いでしょ。

  • many ways to survive. remember fighting is to defend..

    shouldnt be choking eachother out in some alley...

    also MMA is not real.. it is a televised fight with odds set at all major gambling institutions...

    just as many rules as any other fight...

    no small joint manipulation..no back of the head strikes etc..

    but please just dont end up in a street fight over words ^^
