It ain't fancy, it ain't pretty, and it almost looked like two guys beating the hell out of each other!<BR/><BR/>Then again, I found <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOouHofm30g" REL="nofollow">This Video</A> which shows some riskier high kicks that I'd expect to see in TKD. <BR/><BR/>Only difference is NO protective gear!BSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599662252662686373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-33350218319897873942008-06-11T22:27:00.000-07:002008-06-11T22:27:00.000-07:00My Tae Kwon Do master, Tae Hong Choi (Korean)- tol...My Tae Kwon Do master, Tae Hong Choi (Korean)- told us Oyama was one of his cousins. <BR/>Chris Pieshalla, A master in Chicago seems to have confirmed part of this. Oyama was definately Korean in a Japanese world.<BR/><BR/> The Koreans can be tougher than shit when they have their backs against the wall. <BR/> Writer P.J. O'Rourke called them "The Irish of Asia".Dojo Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057645566330892415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-77991172718836906342008-06-11T21:55:00.000-07:002008-06-11T21:55:00.000-07:00That was my favorite flick when I was 14.

But after watching every single Chinese fighter get the crap kicked out of them, all I wanted was to be one of the "hard men" of karate.<BR/><BR/>In retrospect, they clearly got wushu guys to compete in the tourney. Very strategic of the Japanese.<BR/><BR/>You're right about the sparring. That how we sparred in the old days. Except we could and did get punched in the mouth. <BR/><BR/>I still can't believe that guy caught the sword in mid-air.Dave Chesserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427931253247227806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-37021989495458922792008-06-11T19:23:00.000-07:002008-06-11T19:23:00.000-07:00Great point about Koreans.

It's especially signification when you consider that Oyama was Korean.<BR/><BR/>Even though Kyokushinkai was a Japanese martial art, my Tang Soo Do instructors claimed Oyama as one of their own.Sean C.
