  Karate officially won 2–1 — but who do you believe truly won that night?<br><br>Did Oyama’s fighters prove the effectiveness of full-contact karate, or did Kurosaki’s defeat ultimately have the greatest impact by helping create Japanese kickboxing?<br><br>🥋 Share your opinion below.

  It is the fighter, not the Martial Art.

  Nakamura&apos;s Thai opponent was actually changed when the Thai representatives seen him in training during the month stay in Thailand before the big matches, so more than likely the Thai fighter was a experienced professional fighter.

  1964 it&apos;s &nbsp;a World before Kickboxing existed, &nbsp;A World &nbsp;Where&apos;s &nbsp;it&apos;s &nbsp;rare style &nbsp;vs style, &nbsp;A World &nbsp;Where&apos;s 99% of Masters don&apos;t &nbsp;have balls to test &nbsp;his style &nbsp;against another &nbsp;style.

  Would be very easy Oyama Accept this fight in Japan, &nbsp;With &nbsp;his rules &nbsp;but Oyama showed &nbsp;he&apos;s &nbsp;a Real man accept &nbsp;send his students &nbsp;to fight in Thailand &nbsp;in their rules no excuses &nbsp;only &nbsp;reality.

  At the end of the film, the guy performing a kata is Morio Higaona, arguably the best living karate master.

  This was a great video on the subject ! As a lifelong martial artist of Goju-ryu Karate-do since 1969. Direct linage of Master Gogen Yamaguchi (which i am extremely proud). I&apos;ve &quot;humbly&quot; competed since 1982 and fought in UFC 2,3 and 5 as an undefeated alternate. The master at the end of this video &quot;on the beach&quot; was Humble Master Morio Higaona. A stellar Karate Master !!

  I got bullied at school so my parents put me in kyokushin karate, this was around 1978,I was a tiny kid and learned under a disciple of Mas Oyama the founder, it was BRUTAL, no way they could legally train kids like that now. I never became the karate kid and was never a good kid fighter at all but after the first class the bullies didn&apos;t effect me, they just didn&apos;t have the power, violence and terror I felt as the skinny little kid getting kicked by a big fully focused dude in a 1970s full contact karate class and every time I just about crawled out of class wishing to quit but going back those bullies lost all power.

  Thanks for the spicy video. This topic always seems to be the most controversial one that exists within the martial arts space.

  Jigoro Kano’s early Judo (Kano Jujitsu) students lost to Mataemon Tanabe’s students. &nbsp;Kano later incorporated the Ne-Waza material of Mataemon Tanabe’s teachings into Judo.<br><br>Carlos Gracie’s students lost to Oswaldo Fadda’s students, but Gracie did not incorporate any of Fadda’s material. (John Danaher filled in the “gap” much later in 2015-ish)
