Kuma Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Oyama also trained Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu So unnecessary to answer to this now... I've never heard of that before. Where did you learn that from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toptomcat Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Oyama also trained Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu So unnecessary to answer to this now... I've never heard of that before. Where did you learn that from?He did have 4th dan in judo, and the close association of Daito-ryu with the early roots of judo means that if you were training judo around the 30s-40s pioneering era when Oyama was training it, you were training Daito-ryu to some degree as well.

Toptomcat Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 A cursory Googling reveals scattered online sources that corroborate this- but, oddly, none of them appear on Web sites directly associated with Kyokushin. I'd love to hear from an authority on this, it's pretty interesting if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
