1. Japan didn't even know about Karate until the early 1900's, so.. huh? It's an Okinawan martial art, one they developed to beat the Japanese. Applying Budo ideals to Karate is like saying that Ghengis Khan was Sun Tzu's prodigy. Doesn't work if you know history.If he hit you, you broke. If you blocked a rib punch, you arm was broken or dislocated. If you didn't block, your rib was broken. He became known as the Godhand, a living manifestation of the Japanese warriors' maxim Ichi geki, Hissatsu or "One strike, certain death". To him, this was the true aim of technique in karate. The fancy footwork and intricate techniques were secondary (though he was also known for the power of his head kicks).
2. Head kicks: Karate, the original style, and undoubtedly the style taught to Mas Oyama, doesn't have kicks about the waist. Are you talking about kicking opponents on the ground?
In my years of training, I've seen some amazing stuff. I've seen a guy's cup get broken in half by a front kick in a sparring match. I've seen guys break boards with their feet over 10 feet off the ground.
But when it comes to martial arts, only believe what you see. Everything else take with a grain of salt, as usually the people telling the story idolize the main character, and have a tendency to embellish.Comment

Here's som footage of Mas Oyama.
http://www.kyokushinmail.com/koya/Kyokushin.htm
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.

"Mas Oyama, in order to show the strength of his karate, tested his strength by fighting raging bulls bare-handed. It was a mismatch from the get-go for the bulls, not for Oyama. In all, he fought 52 bulls, three of which were killed instantly, and 49 had their horns taken off with knife hand blows"Originally posted by punkworld
My vote goes to Mas Oyama. The guy once killed someone with a single punch, fought bulls with his bare hands (and won) and won 300 fights against blackbelts in a row - took him 3 days
WowComment

Myth and legend mean squat. They're built up over time usually about people that have not been documented properly or falsified bs. Let's put this guy in a US arena without tricks, camera editing, and bogus tales of inhuman achievement. Something tells me he would be toast against true fighters...all day every day.Comment

I personally know several people who were direct students under Mas Oyama. I'd believe their stories over someone just watching a video or trying to read between the lines of a book somewhere. The story about the bull wasn't a fight, but a demonstration of power. How many people could kill a bull by punching it, even if they had complete control over it by the nose ring, balls or whatever? How many people could rip it's horn off? That's what's impressive about the demonstration. I don't claim Oyama to be my "hero" by any means, but I respect his accomplishments and his martial art.Originally posted by Agent White

by the way he is of korean parents. and some of the clips of him sparring are when he's over 50 years old. and he was not a just a pratitioner of karate but holds a black belt in judo and jui jitsu.
he was adept on the ground as well as striking. with that said i still think steven seagal would have kicked his ass.Comment

It is a well know fact that he rigged stuff for many demonstrations, simply because he didn't want to leave stuff to chance. That may be less than honorable, but it is also a fact that he did many things which to this day haven't been equalled.Originally posted by Agent White

Jon Bluming (Jon, not Ron) wrote and said a lot of stuff about many people, most of which is just arrogant bullshit. Like many of the things he says about Anton Geesink or the Gracies, for example. We're talking about the guy who claims the Gracies contributed nothing new to martial arts here
As for fighting a bull apparently being easy in your opinion... let's see you do it then. I'm waiting for a video.
It is a simple fact that Mas Oyama fought and won many fights against many fighters from many different disciplines (though not as many as often claimed), that he completely reshaped karate (by adding in elements of, among other things, muay thai and by introducing full contact sparring) and that he was one of the first people to create a framework for mma.
Someone like Kimura (who defeated Helio Gracie), even said that Oyama was one of the only fighters he really feared.
Seriously, if you think Mas Oyama wasn't an extremely good fighter, you took one too many punches in the head

Think of Oyama this way: he was a really good striker (not just from karate, he had also practiced boxing and later on took inspiration from muay thai), who also had extensive experience in grappling./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment
