EvilTed Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Equaninimus, This just confirms my opinion that you are an opinionated fool. The lineage of World Oyama Karate is excellent. Founder: Soshu Shigeru Oyama, Saiko Shihan of Kyokushin Karate and top student of Mas Oyama for 30 years. 100 man kumite 1966. Vice President: Saiko Shihan Yahiko Oyama, began training in Mas Oyama's dojo in 1958 and was considerred a Kyokushin genius by Mas Oyama. All Japan knockdown champion. Shuseki Shihan M. Miura He was the 1972 open-weight division All-Japan Full-Contact Champion, and also successfully completed the 100-Man Kumite. He is widely respected for his awesome fighting ability and his exciting exhibitions with the sai. 100 man kumite 1972 and the first Japanese to do it in one day! http://www.geocities.com/irek65/100man.html My advice to you is go and find a World Oyama dojo and train there for a bit before you start bashing it.

ET nice post. minor correction. Shihan Miura left the organization 2 years ago. nice Bio on him at http://www.australiankyokushin.com/biographies/mmiura.shtml My initial Sensei trained with him for a while. tough as nails. Shihan Miura's New webpage is at http://www.miuradojousa.com/ Regards,
EvilTed Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 You are quite correct, Knockdown, I was just trying to point out that World Oyama is a serious style with great lineage. We have several people at our dojo in San Francisco that have trained Kyokushin in Japan and say the styles are very simillar and the fighting just as hard and intense. I've studied Shotokan and a bit of Kyokushin under an affiliate of Steve Arneil's some years ago in the UK (as well as Tae Kwon Do) and the intensity of training in World Oyama is second to none. We are lucky in having Shigeru Oyama's top student and Uchi Deshi for 5 years as our Sensei. The point of the Web courses is to help beginning students who don't have time to attend as much as they would like. They still have to attend a promotion test and they still have to fight to get it. Like our Kyokushin brothers we test first then fight at the end. My brown belt test in September can only be performed by Shaiko Shihan. Osu! ET

EvilTed Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Hey, before you start calling me a Troll, just remember that you are the one who was disrespectful towards Kyokushin and Mas Oyama in particular. You should learn something about what it is you think you know before opening your mouth. Either that or be prepared and wash your foot ET
aefibird Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Please can we all try showing a little respect for one another instead of just trading insults? We can't all agree on everything, so it would be good if we could all present our opinions in a reasonable manner without possibly offending anyone. Thanks. "Was it really worth it?

Guest Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 My sensei can beat up your sensei! But seriously -- I think that an inexperienced person cannot effectively learn martial arts from a book or video or online. I like to think of it as if I were trying to learn karate from another guy who doesn't know karate, but has a book about it.
Rich_2k3 Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 u cant, anyone trying to learn online wud never get past the basics. If we cud learn everything online then we'd never need to go 2 skool... "When my enemy contracts I expand and when he expands I contract" - Bruce Lee
Mink Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Shigeru Oyama created World Oyama Karate in 1981 No relationship to Sosai, he is now head of his own style, World Oyama Karate based in New York. He is no longer under the kyokushin banner ever since 1981 forming his own style so the site that was refering to has little to do with Kyokushin there is no Kanku symbol or japanese kanji "ultimate truth" https://www.Kyokushinaustralia.comDont be Bias in styles for we are all Practitioners of Martial Arts!
equaninimus Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Actually, Oyama Shigeru's family adopred Young I Choi in teh 1930s. So Oyama Shigeru is essentially Oyama Masutatsu's (Young I Choi) younger brother. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!
