bushido_man96 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 ...he viked a bit from Muay Thai as well.And TKD, just quietly.Haha, a little bit, yeah. Mostly in the later years, though I think that wasn't just Sosai making those changes at that point.I understood he and Gen. Choi met at least once, and spoke of TKD, but I never knew he learned some. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evergrey Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yeah, he tried to get Sosai to join up with TKD, but he refused.There's a little bit of that fancy kicking that came in at the very end though. Like I said though, that might be more the influence of some of Sosai's yudansha than Sosai himself. http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.

DWx Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 The Rumors state that General Choi 'tried' to get Sosai to convert to TKD - ITF style, so glad he didn't as I can't agree with the sine wave although I think ITF without the sine wave and replacing it with leg kicks would be an awesome art.Think that is the general consensus, make ITF that much stronger compared to WTF if Oyama was part of it.
