Who is the legend that you liked his techniques more & why ?!

Please exclude Mas Oyama because he will be the best ever :brow:

I have more than one but I try to use them as examples for my own training;

Naka Sensei is one of my favorites. His speed, body control and posture is something that I am striving for in my own training.

Kagawa Sensei is another one who is lightening fast and very strong. He also has some of the best hips around. He can stand nose to chest with someone much taller than him and still kick him in the back of the head with a roundhouse kick.

Yoshimi Sensei is another that I just recently found who has incredible body control and speed. Also, considering that he trained some of the best kata competitors in the world, he knows his stuff.

Yamazki Sensei is someone who I have trained with and was my Karate instructors' Master. At 72 years old, he moves like a man half his age and hits like a truck. His Karate spirit is so strong most students are drawn to him when he enters a room full of people. He is a true master with many years experience and a heart larger than a house.

The other thing that I found is that all four of them are willing to share what they have learned and explain it so that almost anyone can learn from them. I agree that there are legends who have demonstrated great things but the ability to share those things with others and show people who to do them is what makes them legends in my mind.

Of those videos Safroot sent, I would say Midori hands down. He is a master at entering.
