who does the demos?

[intromix]

Seiko Shihan Oyama (Now known as Soshu) does the sword demonstration at 1:50 but as for the rest, not sure

i entered a karate tournament using Shaolin qwan fa and although i won a few rounds it didn't feel a positive vibe from the crowd watching apparently karate meant the Japanese way not martial arts in general. god was i out of place. XP

[intromix]

Yeah, there are LOTS of politics in most styles, THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION,, they want any symbols or letters taped off on your gi, and wont allow a black gi (nowadays)

As i understand it, willie was grabbing excessively, so lost the match, my memorys not what it was though;)

osu!

[intromix]

I was under the impression he was being sort of arrogant, almost as there was personal conflict between the two fighters? I should ask my Sensei, he was there and might remember

[thewatcherfromwithin]

Saiko Shihan Shigeru Oyama (now Soshu of World Oyama Karate), Yasuhiko Oyama, his kid bro and at the time IKO's chief instructor in Alabama, and Miyuki Miura, also IKO's chief insructor in Chicago back in those days. Miura currently runs an independent Miura Dojo.

Willie Williams is a nut job, lol. Thats why I love to watch him.

at 2:50 number 3 the fat karateka is beating some guy,could that be the same guy that lost to the champ of the first tournament at the semifinals .

[kyokushinman95]

WOW!!! w. williams is really crazy! he hits strongly

[kyokushinman95]

did he really killed a bear or just defeat it?

[mutsnuts1989]

@intromix Sosai Masutatsu Oyama made an announcement that he was going to commit suicide if a Japanese man didn't win the tournament so Willie wasn't being arrogant he was simply pissed off that he could have kicked his ass but didn't want to be responsible and run the risk of Sosai doing that if he won.

personally i find although the darker man was very, very inexcusable for his actions, doesn't it realte to what the other man was doing too? watching the films before i noticed he was doing the same thing - pushing, grabbing, showing his back to the fighter and so on. theyre playing a game of 'who's bigger.'

[megosun]

Nakamura was strong with his punches

[Bassai]

2nd fight was Nakamura vs Azuma, the founder of Daidojuku (kudo)
