Title isn't perfect, but who out there today do you admire/aspire to/enjoy to watch/would love to train under.

For me it's Andre Bertel

And getting more interested in Rick Hotton also.

Yes, a shame he has retired from competition, although he does insist in full contact kumite as part of his own training regime.

Rafael Aghayev is amazing! Short guy who won many world champions is ideal for many karatekas! You think he is going to do tzuki but in reality you are already on the ground by his ashi barai technique while referee gives him ippon.

Luigi Busa. Strong, fast Italian who loves to eat pizza.

I love them!

I think Rika Usami is a fantastic Karateka. Although I think she's now retired from the competition scene, I love watching her on Youtube. Her katas just look amazing. Morio Higaonna too, a lifetime dedicated to Karate and, to me he seems a very humble man.

Mo.

Be water, my friend.

The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails-but the one who moves on in spite of failure.

This is how one spells LEGENDS; one and all!! They've each blazed a path that many Karateka can aspire for, yet if one would remain quite long enough, they'd learn something valuable from any of these Masters!!
