Online, there are many photos of him cutting the neck off of different beer bottles, with his bare hand, while leaving the bottle sitting on a table. he did this with a horizontal knife hand, forehand strike. THAT is the kind of speed that real training can produce, guys. Such a man can h it you in the BUTT, and break your hip-pelvis bones. He can grab your butt and you can't get loose, like a Doberman has you in its jaws. That sort of stength is amazing. he killed bulls with single punches to their foreheads!

Pretty crazy stuff...thanks for the heads up

this guy's school is REAL karate, not that bs you see on UFC. If a REAL strike is delivered to floating ribs or collarbone, that guy won't be competing again for a year. it takes months for those easily broken bones to heal, during which time you can't train worth a hoot.

Read up a bit on the guy. He deserves his place in history no doubt, but all that stuff is promotion of his style.

Yah I used to have one of his books (until some A$$hole I went to college with fcuking stole it from me, the cnut. I didn't even lend it to him, I lent it to a chick and he asked her to lend it to him and that was 5 years ago I haven't seen it since :X)

But he was awesome. I remember reading somewhere that he wrestled like 50 bulls or something, and dealt sudden death to 9 of them, or something? Can't quite remember but I know that he was a BAUS.

He toured the US in the 60's, I believe it was, offering 10k or some such, a big prize in those days, for anyone who could last 3 minutes or some such, with him in the ring
