seersin Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Just wondering if anyone ever had tha privlage of doing winter training with Mas Oyama,or one of his students.I've read about it,but it's always better to talk to someone who has done it. ISAIAH 53:5
Daisuke Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Someone I know has trained with Mas Oyama, he evn had dinner with him over 30 times...
yamesu Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 where abouts are you located? Judd Reid Sensei in melbourne australia was one of the only westeners taken into MasutatsuOyamas Uchi-dechi program, and he holds lessons in Melbourne..... Osu.

seersin Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 I always read that his winter training was tough.Going up to Mt.Mitsumine for a week.Jumping in lakes,working out under waterfalls,all in tha freezing winter.That's some serious training. ISAIAH 53:5
senna_trem Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Anyone who has trained with Shihan Bobby Lowe will have trained with one of Mas Oyamas students. I am unsure if they do winter training, or if the winter training counts, as Shihan Lowe is situated in Hawaii. "I think therefore I am" Rene Descartes
Kevin K. Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I would image that Saiko Shihan Y. Oyama has (one of my instructors) as I believe he lived with him for some time (I know his brother Soshu Shigeru did). Mixed Martial Arts Institute of Birmingham, Alabama
scottnshelly Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Where do i sign up? or is this only by invitation?
Ted T. Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 We've done that a few times here - but not in Oyama's tradition. We shut the heat off during a cold spell, hovering just below 0º, and the first class of the day is at 5:30 am with the windows and doors open. The training is basics repeated hundreds of times, hundreds of each block, or kick or punch. Sometimes to break the monotony, we do a kata over and over fifty or seventy times. Then home to breakfast and work or school. We end with a visit to a waterfall for "meditation" (I put it in quotes because it is a secret word in Okinawan that means torture! ) after the final workout on the beach or even knee high in the ocean. Everyone who as done it has survived! Ted TruscottThe Raising Canes Club
seersin Posted February 9, 2005 Author Posted February 9, 2005 Yeah,I'd like to get myself prepared for some type of training like that.Okinawan words that means torture!!!! that's funny. ISAIAH 53:5
EvilTed Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Kevin, Mas Oyama was Korean. He was adopted by Soshu's family so Soshu and Saiko Shihan are essentially his half brothers. He took the name Oyama from their family. Get a copy of the 1970s "Hardest Karate" Vol 2. This shows the then Saiko Shihan of Kyokushin (Soshu) and Saiko Shihan training Shihan Miura. Get yerself to San Francisco June 12th for our first tournament Osu! ET
