As someone who's trained for most of his life, there's a few things I'd like to point out.
1. One of the scenes where he's sparring, the video is cut to make him look faster. It's so poorly cut that you don't even need to go frame by frame. It's Oyama1.avi and his "opponent" takes a real hollywood swing over his head to facilitate the action.
2. When he's fighting the bull, he's a rope wrapped around his hand that's tied to the bull's nose ring. Anyone could fight a moderately sized bull with that kind of control. That would be like me fighting Royce Gracie but I've got his nuts in a choke chain and he's handcuffed. Even Ron Bluming, one of Oyama's top students, knows that most of this stuff was BS and wrote about it.
3. In one of the sparring clips his student throws two kicks at him while standing full facing for the entire fight. Anyone higher than yellow belt in a sparring martial art knows that this is just suicide, so I have to wonder if that video clip was contrived (Oyama5.avi). Also, why is the attacker not blocking? He's got his hands straight up in the air like Oyama has a gun.
You may need to find a new hero.
