OSU! OSU!

My real name is Kazuo, and you are now my friend as everyone else who posted here, so please call me Kaz

I wish I did join Kyokushin. Unfortunately, no Kyokushin Dojos were available where I live now and have lived before. As I mentioned before, when I started Karate for the first time at 13 (Jr. high), I bought his (the founder of Kyokushin-kai: Masutatsu Oyama ) text books and self-taught me the art, later when I finally managed to save enough money working as a paper boy I joined a dojo of Shorinji-Kenpo at 16 (high school). At that time, I also started to practice both Judo and Kendo (Japanese swordman ship with a bamboo sword). Later in life, I joined Gojuryu Karate also.

Kyokushin Karate was the first full contact karate in Japan, founded in 1964 by a Korean-Japanese Masutatsu Oyama , He's the one, the first of my heroes. He won the first national Karate contest after the WWII. His Karate was based on Shotokan and Gojuryu Karate so to me he was a Japanese but if people in Korea says otherwise I'm OK with that. He's a great man and if he has every right to be loved by people of both countries and I'm glad for that.

My martial arts heroes, there are five of them (actually there are more of them), I have stories to tell but I want to save them for later, so names only for now.

The Kickboxing Champion: Tadashi Sawamura
The Karate Champion: Masutatsu Oyama
The Founder of Shorinji-Kenpo (not *Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu): Doshin So
The Founder of BJJ, your favorite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu : Carlos Gracie

And last but not least……don't laugh, I was just a kid and he's so cool!
The Greatest of All Time Champion: Bruce Lee

You know the original The Green Hornet (TV series 1966–1967) , right? Oh, no wonder, lately I feel really old…

I think you are right, it could happen. And when that happens you feel really bad not that difficult to imagine, I'm sure of it. You are a good man.

Age-old cliche, " With great power comes great responsibility. "

Thinking about taking up something more practical, like MMA/BJJ. I prefer locks and movements to make your opponent subdue to kicks and punches, because they look and feel a lot more cleaner. Aikido has interested me since I was a kid too, but it feels like it's practical value is nearly zero and it's all just a show. Can't know for sure until I've experienced it though.
Maybe a miscer can comment on this?

Aikido techniques are usually a defense against an attack, that could be one reason why people think it's not agressive fighting style and don't like it. But it's really effective and practical, especially when the attackers are armed with weapons like knives or swords. (Yes, in advanced course they teach you how to defend against multiple attackers like many other Martial Arts.)

Because main portion of Aikido's waza consists of throws, first and foremost students have to learn ukemi, how to safely fall and roll when thrown, like Judo's first lessons. That's probably another reason people prefer other punch and kick martial arts. (*Actually Aikido has offensive strikes though many are used as finishing blows…that is my guess though, since I have never practiced Aikido. I wish to hear from people who actually train this Martial Arts. )

Since most of Aikido's wazas are defensive, also need at least one attacker when you practice. That means you cannot practice by yourself. That's very hard for beginners.

Hope this helps you.

I trained with him, my brother, and his youth training club almost daily until my family immigrated to USA when I was 13.

I have been doing boxing on and off ever since. I think I have a solid foundation with boxing, but I want to get into other martial arts, primarily BJJ and mixed martial arts. A family member is a professional MMA fighter and I train with him occasionally.

I tried pure karate and aikido for a little bit, but could never get into them. I found the katas in karate kind of strange and pointless, but the kicks were alright. Aikido was useless, but the philosophy behind it is kind of cool; plus, Steven Seagal is a badass.

Also, I took a taekwando class in college, but only for one semester.

About Kata, I think seeing is believing, so here is the vid of Kiyou shimizu, a Japanese female contender, age 25, 5 ft 3, 56kg(123.5 lbs)

.

I have nothing to add.

BTW, as a boy, I was very interested in Sambo , an exotic foreign Martial Arts, ever since Mas Oyama (aka, Masutatsu Oyama) mentioned it in many of his books.

Sambo is a Russian martial art and combat sport. It originated in the Russian SFSR in Soviet Union. The word "SAMBO" is a portmanteau for samozashchita bez oruzhiya , which literally translates as "self-defence without weapons". Sambo is relatively modern, since its development began in the early 1920s by the Soviet Red Army to improve their hand-to-hand combat abilities. It was intended to be a merger of the most effective techniques of other martial arts.

The pioneers of sambo were Viktor Spiridonov and Vasili Oshchepkov. Oshchepkov died in prison as a result of the Great Purge after being accused of being a Japanese spy. Oshchepkov spent several years living in Japan and training in judo under its founder Kano Jigoro.

It seems Sambo and Judo are brothers and Jujitu is its cousin.

About Aikido, Steven Seagal is a cool guy. My friend who worked as a book editor for a publishing company, also lives in Kobe (not Osaka) is a relative of his first wife (Japaense) met him various occasions and told me once, "He is a quiet gentleman but with eyes which can kill." And I believed him.

Masahiko Kimura was a great judo-ka and professional wrestler but alas also a tragic hero.
(anyone who doesn't know him, click the link above and read the wiki article of him)



Fighting match between him and Helio Gracie (Carlos Gracie's brother, founded Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, BJJ) was a legend!

My kids pretty much do Judo for their jujitsu at this point as there are no strikes, or joint damaging moves, they are primarily working throws and for belt tests they have to demonstrate kata for Yawara. They also do some Sumo training which came from jujitsu and that is a trip, I never realized there were so many rules to a sumo match and that many are won/lost on technicalities.

You are right! It's kinda funny as a Japanese there're still so many things I don't know, even about my own country's Martial Arts, as famous as Jujitsu. *bow*

Martial arts influenced or derived from jujitsu

Sumo is another thing I am totally unacquainted with. *shrug*

Thanks for the info!! That's very interesting story, the one similar to Mas Oyama's demonstration tour against pro wrestlers and pro boxers around the U.S. in 1952. His ring name then was "Mas. Togo", pretending as Great Togo's brother.

The double wristlock is also called "Kimura" in Bjj. (a knowledge which I've just found out, after you mentioned it. *bow* )

In many cases I don't mind bjj renaming techniques for brevity or practicality's sake, but the double wrist lock is too perfect a name for the hold as you are grabbing a wrist with both hands.

There are some other stupid renamings, but I'll leave it alone.
