Thanks for all those awesome videos, castermaild san!


This is the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba who took the martial arts through a quantum leap when he created Aikido. He said that the ultimate goal of Aikido was union with the source of all creation.

"The Art of Peace does not rely on weapons or brute force to succeed.
Instead we put ourselves in tune with the universe, maintain peace in our own realms, nurture life, and prevent death and destruction. The true meaning of the term samurai is one who serves and adheres to the power of love."

- Morihei Ueshiba

i wonder on those vids where students attack master noone realy attacks him, they try to grab his clothes, or lay their hands on him but no serious attacks. Noone has intent to harm him.

[Yellow Fever]

Those are demonstration sparring only and hence there is no real physical contact. I do the same thing with my students!

Ljubomir Vračarević 10th dan

His work in the military and police force during the seventies[citation needed] inspired him to start perfecting the practical aspect of aikido. This would allow him to increase the use of effective techniques in real situations.

Vracarevic's international reputation allowed receipt of his methods through programs for special training of military, police and bodyguards. In the past twenty years he has instructed security and bodyguards for the Presidents of Zimbabwe, Libya, Macedonia, Republic of Serbia and Slovenia.[citation needed] So far in his career, Vračarević has held more than 150 seminars worldwide.

孫詩，字茂才，道號永真子，武當龍門派第十八代傳人，曾任上海市武當氣功研究會高級氣功師、上海八卦掌研究會主教練、蘇州風光書劍研究會秘書長兼風光書劍社武功部部長等職，現任日本國際傳統養生文化研究會會長，北九州市門司區石藏體育中心武術總教練、行拳道道場主宰。

孫詩1967年8月25日出生于安徽省泗縣，自幼隨祖父、兄長習練孫子兵法拳、少林六合拳等地方傳統武術，1984年有幸得上海武術家裴錫榮指點，轉而修習內家拳法。1989年，孫詩正式拜裴錫榮老師門下，潛心修煉武當太極拳、心意六合拳、八卦掌和養生氣功等。1991—1992年期間，孫詩任教于中華武術進修學院，赴湖南慈利傳授武當氣功及武當武術，創立杜心武武館，先後教收學生三四千余名。1997年入選《中國武術家名典》，1998年被國家體育總局武術運動管理中心授予武術五段稱號。

1999年，孫詩遠赴東瀛日本，開始致力于中華武術在日本的傳播與推廣。2000年，孫詩受聘于“山本循環器內科醫院”，與該院合作，採用太極拳防治慢性病及疑難雜症，取得較滿意的臨床效果。2001年3月，孫詩帶隊參加中國三亞“首屆太極拳健康大會”，其學生多名獲獎，本人亦榮獲楊式太極拳一等獎和傳統武當太極一等獎；同年還參加大阪市舉辦的“第三回關西地區居合道大會”。

在日期間，孫詩與日本武道進行了多方位交流，連續三年在日本居合道全國大會上作“中國武術特別演武”，獲得強烈反響。為整合研究世界各國傳統養生文化，孫詩還創建了國際傳統養生文化研究會，並在中國內家拳及家傳武功的基礎上獨創新拳種——行拳道。

孫詩在日本為中日武術文化的交流與合作做出了傑出的貢獻，他在日本的聲譽也與日俱增，成為名副其實的中日武術使者。

castermaild san, you must be a budoka youself because you are quite knowlegeable about asian martial arts.

The history of Kyokushin karate
Sosai Masutatsu Oyama was born on July 27th, 1923, in a village in Southern Korea.

At the age of 9 whilst staying on his sister's farm in Manchuria, he first learnt the Martial Arts, studying the southern Chinese Kempo form known as "Eighteen Hands." In 1938 Mas Oyama traveled to Japan with the desire to enter an aviation school and become a fighter pilot, but he was forced to abandon his dream and find work. He continued practicing judo and boxing and his interest in Martial Arts led him to the dojo of Gishin Funakoshi and thus, he started practicing Okinawa Karate.

With his dedication, Mas Oyama progressed quickly and by the time he was 20 years old he had obtained his fourth Dan. It was at this time that Mas Oyama entered the Japanese Imperial Army and began studying judo in the hope of mastering its holding and grappling techniques. When he stopped training in judo, after about 4 years, he gained a fourth Dan.

Following the defeat of Japan after the second world war, Oyama like all other young Japanese, was thrown into a personal crisis. He found a way out of his despair by training with So Nei Chu, a Korean Master of Goju-Ryu Karate. This great teacher, renowned for the power of his body, and deep spiritual inclination had a profound influence on young Mas Oyama. Master So taught him the inseparability of budo and the spiritual fundamentals of Buddhism. After a few years of training, Master So advised Mas Oyama to make a firm commitment to dedicate his life to the Martial Way and retreat to a mountain hideout and train his mind and body.

In 1946, Mas Oyama went into training, at a remote spot, on the Mt. Kiyosumi in Chiba Prefecture. He was accompanied by one of his students named Yashiro and a friend Mr. Kayama brought them food supplies every month. Through vigorous training, Mas Oyama learnt to overcome the mental strain caused by solitude but Yashiro could not bear it and fled after 6 months. About fourteen months later Mr. Kayama told Mas Oyama that due to unforeseen circumstances he could no longer sponsor Mas Oyama's retreat in the mountains and thus Mas Oyama's original plan of remaining in solitude for three years was brought to an end.

In 1950, Mas Oyama began his famous battles with bulls; partly to test his strength and also to make the world sit up and notice the power of his karate. All together, Oyama fought 52 bulls, killing 3 instantly and taking the horns of 49 with knife-hand blows.

Mas Oyama opened his first "Dojo" in 1953 in Mejiro, Tokyo. This was the time that Mas Oyama's karate strength was at its peak so the training was severe. Many students were members of other styles and Mas Oyama would compare styles and build on his karate. He would take what he felt were the best techniques and concepts from any Martial Art and gradually fit them into his training; therefore, laying the foundations of Kyokushin Karate.

The first "School of Oyama" outside Japan was opened in 1957 by Shihan Bobby Lowe in Hawaii. In 1952, Mas Oyama gave his first demonstration in Hawaii. After the demonstration Shihan Bobby Lowe met Mas Oyama and arranged to train with him. Bobby Lowe's father was an instructor of Kung Fu so he had done much training in the Chinese Martial Arts. He had participated in any fighting Art he could; by the time he was 23 he had earned his 4th Dan in judo, 2nd Dan in Kempo, shodan in Aikido but Mas Oyama's powerful demonstration had stunned him. Mas Oyama invited Bobby Lowe to Tokyo to train with him and Bobby Lowe did and trained for over a year and a half. In this way Shihan Bobby Lowe became the first "uchi-deshi" of Kyokushin, a tradition that later grew to be known as the "Wakajishi" or Young Lions of Mas Oyama, where a select few are chosen each year to devote themselves to Karate for one thousand days.

The building of the World Headquarters started in 1963 and was officially opened in 1964. It was at this time that Mas Oyama adopted the name Kyokushin "The Ultimate Truth". Kyokushin had started its spread around the globe and at present is one of the largest martial art organization in the world.

It goes without saying that a style is only as strong as the students who represent it. This is why it is the responsibility of all those who have chosen to follow Sosai, to train hard and forge and indomitable spirit so that the tradition of strength in Kyokushin Karate may be recognized by all for many years.

Rikidozan
Rikidozan was one of the Japanese greatest hero though he was also from korean.
you know it from them about rean relation at that time ...





as for TAEKWONDO , I think the history and origins that you mentioned was quite dIfferent from the Japanese view

[Jhun]

kyokushin is only real deal, akido is generally considered a joke in real occasions, however i guess you can call it artful demonstration of martial, but not really deserve to be martial art in my own limited opinion. But kyokushin on another hand is perhaps the only full body contact no protection whatsoever hardcore martial art that there still is. Especially those tournment level practicians are absolutely pure artists/killers in the same time. My favorite is Norichika Tsukamoto. I am a designer and probably never wont pratice those in forseeable future, but I do get inspired by some of those movement

[Yellow Fever]

All martial arts are good if you know how to use them. Please don't get into style vs style debate here, thank you!
