Real masters don't fight to entertain people or for money. This guy would kick their asses

"When Oyama intervened, the troublemaker, a tall Japanese suspected of several homicides, became enraged and produced a knife. Taunting Oyama, the troublemaker made continuous slashing movements through the air in front of Oyama?s face with the knife then lunged towards Oyama. Oyama blocked the attack and delivered a forceful punch to the head of the assailant, killing him instantly. "

"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. That it is not to say that it was all that easy for him. Oyama was fond of remembering that his first attempt just resulted in an angry bull. In 1957, at the age of 34, he was nearly killed in Mexico when a bull got some of his own back and gored him. Oyama somehow managed to pull the bull off and break off his horn. He was bedridden for 6 months while he recovered from the usually fatal wound. Today of course, the animal rights groups would have something to say about these demonstrations, despite the fact that the animals were all destined for slaughter. "

"In 1952, he travelled the United States for a year, demonstrating his karate live and on national television. During subsequent years, he took on all challengers, resulting in fights with 270 different people. The vast majority of these were defeated with one punch! A fight never lasted more than three minutes, and most rarely lasted more than a few seconds. His fighting principle was simple ? if he got through to you, that was it."


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.

So many people with no real clue what they are talking/typing about with their one line comments.. it's funny to see which idiots don't even read the thread before replying, too much reading of factual info here for them. lol, but this is GFY after all. :glugglug

Bruce Lee without a doubt

Sammo Hung kicks everyones ass.:)

Bruce Lee for sure. His style of fighting is no style at all. He's adaptable. He studies physics/philosophy and movements in other sport, not just martial arts. Ever seen his knuckles up close, it looks like he implanted four round hard metals on each one.

But truthfully, unless a standup karate or kung fu fighter manage to defeat an MMA fighter in the UFC or Pride arena, it will only be an artform, not actual combat.

My fav. contemporary fighter is Frank Shamrock, even though retired. Very versatile, and his best weapon besides mad skillz is conditioning.
