Mas Oyama should be in the top 5 at the VERY LEAST! During his reign, he brought legitimacy back to Karate! In that time period, Kyokushin Karatekas were the only fighters able to compete and actually beat Nak Muay's (Muay Thai practioners). Forget which style of Karate is the best, Mas Oyama was a man waaaay ahead of his time. He was just built different. Some people hate on him because he wasn't actually Japanese or Okinawan but, he adopted the culture and lived the life of a TRUE martial artist. Not to mention, if you train at a Kyokushin dojo (or any of its off-shoots) that allows punches to the head during sparring, it is arguably the most effective style of Karate. It's also one of the most diverse styles of Karate due to Oyama's background in other styles. Nonetheless, a TRUE pioneer of Karate. RIP Mas Oyama, OSU!!
@SiddiqGamesYT He did allow Knockdown to become the main fare for training. As great and unique a sport as Knockdown is it is an incredibly limiting training focus for a style by allowing zero legal grappling or clinching. Sadly Knockdown being the main fare resulted in a lot of Kyokushin dojos where throws and grappling simply don't happen.
@SiddiqGamesYT Being a shodan from mid2000s Kyokushin Karate myself I studied what Kyokushin became after Oyama passed. Oyama was amazing but his fight record is a mess being a combination of hundred man kumite three days in a row and three years doing prowrestling shows. The bulk of the number comes from three days of 100 man kumite, and though 40-man, 50-man and 100-man kumite events are open to all comers the level of communication in the Oyama's prime was nothing like communication in the age of the internet, so it actually didn't come as a huge shock when a higher level told me that the depth of different styles attributed to Oyama comes from his prowrestling career, the 50s, 60s and 70s simply didn't have the communication to get ahold of fighters that quick to have him in that many genuine fights against allcomers. He was a clever bastard in Kyokushin taking apart rival dojos but this too is broken information, Oyama graded Judoka and taught them Kyokushin while having them teach Judo to his dan graded Karateka. Meaning the rival schools that were taken apart were solo stylists being met in their comfort zones then being pulled into unknown territory by MMA competitors and picked apart, Judoka having their Judo matched by Judoka who then proceeded to step outside the pure Judoka's knowledge with their Karate skills and make them look laughable, or Karateka who were matched in Karate by the Kyokushin students who then stepped outside the pure Karateka's knowledge by stepping to their Judo knowledge - I don't say this to be disparaging, like I said 'clever' but where is that Judo practice now? It's non existent. What happened to the Kyokushin guys who were the only Karateka to step up to the Muay Thai challenge? Where are the early MMA guys? They left the fold, they started K1, Ashihara, Kudo, Seidokaikan, the consistent thing is they left. Most Kyokushin schools these days aren't Kyokushin schools - they're Knockdown schools. I do admire Oyama on a lot of levels but what he left Kyokushin as isn't exactly one of them. Not much of a master when your legacy is a shambles within a decade.
@SiddiqGamesYT Neither. I'm thinking as a Master he probably belongs at No9. He was a monster with an actual competition record but it's a mess. He and his dojo did legit dojo challenges including the Muay Thai ones but most of his crew took off and did their own thing. He made full-contact Karate but the ruleset he pushed became the main training and a weakness in his style. Most of the renown kickboxing organizations have Kyokushin roots but their founders left Kyokushin due to creative differences with Oyama. As soon as he passed Kyokushin suffered an epic collapse, it's why there are literally numbered International Kyokushin Organizations. Prove that at least four of the guys ahead of him shouldn't be there - you'll find me easy to convince.
Watching these kinds of videos brings me back when i was training, im 17 about to make 18 in a week or so I'm not that old 😂. I started training Shotokan Karate when i was second grade, when i grew up a little i also started going on Kyokushin. So i was going to school, i was studying and everyday i had a different training. Unfortunately School became more serious and i have to think about going to college now, except that i also noticed that i was physically weak so i started going to the gym and im going through the 4th month now. I have loved Karate my entire life, even though sometimes i was scared for my life when training it just made me stronger mentally and it also made me a good and patient person. There isn't a day that passes when i don't train at home so i want to thank all of these masters for creating such a lovely sport and i want to thank you for reading all of this.
Let's say you're in bad shape and maybe you decide to go to the gym. After one year, you are in great shape, definitely much better than you had in the beginning. But, you're a year older, in fact, your body has aged a year... So you're strong now and maybe a few more years, maybe even twenty years. And, over 50 years, if you will still live, you will say: I was strong in my youth. It seems to be a battle without a chance of success.
Then you knows nothing about Motobu Choki, the legendary fighter and Kanbun Uechi, his style of Karate are the most deadly, also all the Okinawan masters that earned the title of divine fist like Matsumura Sokon, Anko Itosu, Kanryo Higaonna. Oyama would be a dead man if he face Motobu Choki or Kanbun Uechi, or any masters of Okinawan Karate, the original birthplace of Karate.
I had a chance to train with sir Kanazawa, early 2000' , while preparing my Sensei licence. That was impressive, when showing legs combo, he was moving as fast as in a video game.
mas oyama revolutionised karate bringing it to life in the western world .he undersood the need to evolve and mot to mention he was a larger than life character. i cannot fathom how anyone could leave him out the top 5 and be tsken seriously...
Thanks for the nice video it was nice looking at all those old pictures and videos I've seen a lot of them in martial art magazines over the last 50 years but you brought some other pictures I've never seen before
After studying Indonesian Kung Fu. I added Shotokan. That was 1982. And all these name I’ve known in the world of JKA. Very good tribute to the past. May we carry on the tradition. Duty,Honor, and Practice.
I don't know why or what it is but there is jus something about masutatsu Oyama that draws me into the fighting style of Kyokushin kai i just love Karate so much mostly because of it's japanese background
5.45 minuits in to the video I can confirm that Yes Enoeda was probably the best Japanese Karate instructor I have ever trained with. I also took my dan grades with him and so did my good lady. The power this man had was ridiculous and to be honest you had to train with him to really appreciate it. I did a couple to lighting control when he did his demos at the British championships. I remember talking to Terry o Neil after one of Enoeda’s demo because he took the wind out of Terry. Anybody from the KUGB Karate will know who Terry was and how powerful and strong he was, so to knock the wind out of Terry took some serious power. Those of you who don’t know who he is Look him up another incredible Shotokan instructor.
Kanbun Uechi, Uehara Seikichi (Motobu rye which Motobu Choki couldn't learn, also named Undun-ti), we also got all the Higaona students, Miyagi, Nagamine, etc. other like Chomo Hanashiro, Tsuneyoshi Ogura, Here Plee, Minoru Mochizuki (karate, Judo, Aikido, Katori Shinto Ryu), Tani, etc. The list was too Shotokan based.
Sadly missing is Tatsuo Shimabuku, founder of Isshinryu Karate. He combined the best of Shorin Ryu and Goju Ryu. He could drive nails with his hands and railroad spikes with his feet.
Ni glömmer en av Stockholms bästa senseier Takashi Masuyama. Min man har haft honom som sensei och han kom att bli min favorit bland senseier. Även om jag inte fått äran att träffa denna man så kom och kommer han vara en stor sensei och man i mina ögon. Respekt till dig sensei Takashi Masuyama. ❤
Brings back the memories... I was a Shotokan student myself for many years. Back then, it was real old school training: sweat and tears, with occasional blood, too.
Not too many hardcore karate guys like the late great grandmaster Hidetaka Nishiyama 7:15 make their way out too LA. With traditional shodokan karate academy and the small poorly attended dojo in Palmdale with Pepe Melan, although my first white belt test was in LA. I wonder if learning history and geography can also help with remembering names faster sometimes as well, and I'm not sure if the head of karate Gichin Funakoshi ever made it out to the states though?
This is a great tribute to all of the great Karate masters and to the strong styles that they founded over the past 100+ years. I'm glad this video popped up in my feed, you have a new subscriber, a 3rd Dan in KokoroKan Karate. Osu!!
À Gichin Funagoshi minhas honras. Pratiquei Shotokan Ryu com Mestre Sadamu Uriu na Tijuca no Rio de Janeiro quando mais jovem. Até hoje demonstro destreza apesar dos meus 62 anos. Estilo muito eficiente
You forgot Gogen "The Cat" Yamaguchi from Goji-Ryu, Doshin-So, who founded Shorinji Kenpo and Kenichi Sawai, founder of Tai Ki Ken (Japanese variation of Chinese I-Chuan & Hsing-I) who had a close friendship with Mas Oyama. Other than Aikido, Tai Ki Ken is the most "Internal Style" in Japan, except for perhaps those Japanese people who practice Tai Chi.
I'm not a Karate expert, but even i know that there's no way all time rating list can be without Chojun Miyagi, Miyagi Anichi Mikiyo Yahara.. When living legend Morio Higaona is so low in the list, and also Oyama Matsutatsu.
You are right, you're not a Karate expert. Miyagi A'nichi shouldn't be on the list, unless you are biased IOGKF. Miyazato Ei'ichi founder of the Jundokan (Higaonna's original Instructor) should be there as well, as one of his students is there Masagi Taira. Higaonna at least gets to meditate on a rock.LOL
My instructor talked about him and told us the story with the bull. Seeing video of him with a bull is awsum, proving his credibility to his peers! He was a great Martial Artist! And created a great system!
Thank you...please read my comment! No mention of the true masters who taught these students he calls masters! No mention of Yamaguchi or Miyagi and Yamaguchi taught Oyama! Oyama had black belts with Funakoshi and Yamaguchi not just Funakoshi! Oyama learned to fight more with Yamaguchi and Oyama fought out of a cat stance just like Yamaguchi did, Neko Ashi Datchi. This video is propaganda not reality!!!
@@makemyday5888 No, the proper thing to do is make a fkin video based on facts not bullshit! Now you are well aware of who the hell Yamaguchi and Miyagi were right?! So your video is not based on facts and your are admitting here that with this mediocre response the guy should make his own video...wow man you really are a bona-fide idiot.
Muito bons, fortes. Como mestres, quantos bons lutadores, karatecas será que cada um formou? Aqui no Brasil, alguns mestres japoneses eram conhecidos por não compartilhar algumas técnicas.
I am karateka, Kyokushin, 37 years. These men are all the most dedicated in their arts or styles as many say. Their arts are all very different and derived from different places in times of turmoil. The caption says "best", and to be completely honost that is insulting fanboy talk! Osu
No mention of GOGEN YAMAGUCHI THE SENSEI OF OYAMA NOR CHOJUN MIYAGI THE FOUNDER OF GOJU RYU AND TEACHER OF YAMAGUCHI???? Wow man you don't know a damn thing about the true masters and founders of karate. Morio Higaonna's lineage of GoJu Ryu goes back to the original master Higaonna who learned Chinese Gung Fu like white crane king fu and other types of mung fu styles and brought that knowledge back to Okinawa and taught it as Na Ha Te Kempo, very similar to Shuri Te and Funakoshi knew both styles and trained in Shuri Te and Naha Te respectively!!! You need to fix your video! You are giving more credit to your favorite list of students of great masters not to the REAL MASTERS and FOUNDERS OF ENTIRE SYSTEMS THAT TAUGHT THEM! Oyama for example trained under both Funakoshi and Yamaguchi and was a black belt in Shotokan and Goju Ryu and trained with Sensei Jigaro Kano in Judo as well as Aikijujutsu under Gozo Shioda who was a student of Ueshiba aka OSensei and founder of Aikido and student of Sokaku Takeda. Takeda was a family and Clan of ancient Samurai and from about 1100AD in feudal Japan was when Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu was created. You cannot cherry pick masters who are actually students of the great masters and put out a bullshit video like this...this is a really disrespectful video because you don't acknowledge Senseis like MIYAGI and YAMAGUCHI for crying out loud!!!!
Masters? The true story is very different. None of the people you mentioned were masters.Yamaguchi NEVER TRAINED UNDER MIYAGI KANCHO SENSEI. I emphasize NEVER.
wow, amazing.. saya dahulu masih muda ikut karate di lemkari sampai sabuk coklat dan 1.. simpai saya dulu sabuk hitam dan 2.. kangen rasanya ingat masa dahulu karate saat masih muda.. saya dengar kabar lemkari sudah tidak ada, dan menyatu dengan inkai saat ini.. semangat buat para karateka indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩 hoshh..
Mas Oyama of course had to create his own style, was good at marketing his product (books: This is Karate and What is Karate I bought at an early age in the 1960's; He would send you a green belt if you sent him pictures and some money; and then there was the "killing of the bull" which was BS because the bull was sedated and beaten on the horns with a sledge hammer to soften it up. Sorry, Big Ego, Big Money, Big Tournaments, Big Self Promotion. Same with Gogen Yamaguchi and his supposed "tiger killing"! Give me someone who shows true humility and the real Soul of Budoka.
osu!!!! I started in judo in 1964 and 4 years later began in Shotokan karate ...but I 1970 switched to kyokushin…..brutal training …..50 rounds of kumite was normal....relentless …….hard as rock the power generated by this style is immense.....50 years later still can handle myself against much much younger karatekas ..osu ...
The heaviest hitter in this bullshit list is Morio Higaonna who no longer cares to punch but specialises in arrest claws and seizures. And our celestial fucktard put him at rank what, 18? Morio, then Mas Oyama, and I hit harder than either of them ever did. There are other masters who never cared to teach much less be filmed, I was lucky enough to know 2 of them. Most on this list are poseurs and children. While I am grateful for the video and learned a few names I did not know, it is clear the selector’s criteria was oldest available footage and nothing more. The last one had a beard that clearly cannot possibly belong to the khasa Chandalas. Not impressed.
I trained with instruction from, Sensai Keinosuke Enoeda. He had Dojos in London, and where I trained, in West Dulwich. Sensai Tomita also trained us in Dulwich. The English tutor was Dave Hazard.
Great list, but definitely nit the top 20! A lot of great masters missing from the list.. founders of styles like Isshin Ryu, Enshin, Ashihara are not there. No one from Shorin Ryu. Top masters of other styles also missing. I think shotokan was given a priority in this video.
Mas Oyama in 8th place? can someone tell me what martial arts sensei in this world did what made the greatest martial arts sensei Mas Oyama fight a bull and break at least one bull's horn with his bare hands
While stationed on the Island of Okinawa 1971. - 1972 I trained in the style of Shoring Ryu Matsumura. After leaving I continued training with this style.
As a disciple of Matsumura Shorin Ryu , as passed down from Matsumura Sokon - traditional Okinawan Karate, it is good to see recognition given to this great grand-master who is credited for teaching other students who created and taught thier own styles and became masters of that lineage .
Hirukazu Kanazawa is a living legend who is a student of Shihan Gichin Funakuchi, and correction he is not a member of JKA he is a Founder of Shotokan Karete International (SKI), for Info. Only

Respect for all karate masters, but none would beat Masutatsu Oyama in the beating
Masutatsu Oyama is dead.
Sosai masutasu Oyama is the best.

You forgot Gogen "The Cat" Yamaguchi from Goji-Ryu, Doshin-So, who founded Shorinji Kenpo and Kenichi Sawai, founder of Tai Ki Ken (Japanese variation of Chinese I-Chuan & Hsing-I) who had a close friendship with Mas Oyama.

Morio Higaonna's lineage of GoJu Ryu goes back to the original master Higaonna who learned Chinese Gung Fu like white crane king fu and other types of mung fu styles and brought that knowledge back to Okinawa and taught it as Na Ha Te Kempo, very similar to Shuri Te and Funakoshi knew both styles and trained in Shuri Te and Naha Te respectively!!! You need to fix your video! You are giving more credit to your favorite list of students of great masters not to the REAL MASTERS and FOUNDERS OF ENTIRE SYSTEMS THAT TAUGHT THEM! Oyama for example trained under both Funakoshi and Yamaguchi and was a black belt in Shotokan and Goju Ryu and trained with Sensei Jigaro Kano in Judo as well as Aikijujutsu under Gozo Shioda who was a student of Ueshiba aka OSensei and founder of Aikido and student of Sokaku Takeda. Takeda was a family and Clan of ancient Samurai and from about 1100AD in feudal Japan was when Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu was created. You cannot cherry pick masters who are actually students of the great masters and put out a bullshit video like this...this is a really disrespectful video because you don't acknowledge Senseis like MIYAGI and YAMAGUCHI for crying out loud!!!!
I couldn't have said that better!
Wow...much knowledge of these masters.
Masters? The true story is very different. None of the people you mentioned were masters.Yamaguchi NEVER TRAINED UNDER MIYAGI KANCHO SENSEI. I emphasize NEVER.
@@raymondfrye5017 yes he did, and trained with some of his top students as well
@@wolfcorpse What part of NEVER don't you understand?
Respect to all karate masters.
How is Chojun Miyagi not on this list?
Wow. Had same most privilege chance to train with Kanazawa early 70’s in Liverpool England.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Kanazawa is a living legend, i would also include hitoshi kasuya who is also one of the old shotokan masters
wow, amazing.. saya dahulu masih muda ikut karate di lemkari sampai sabuk coklat dan 1.. simpai saya dulu sabuk hitam dan 2.. kangen rasanya ingat masa dahulu karate saat masih muda.. saya dengar kabar lemkari sudah tidak ada, dan menyatu dengan inkai saat ini.. semangat buat para karateka indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
hoshh..
My respect to all of them. I can't stop watching.

Masoyama is The legend of Karate 💪
Mas Oyama of course had to create his own style, was good at marketing his product (books: This is Karate and What is Karate I bought at an early age in the 1960's; He would send you a green belt if you sent him pictures and some money; and then there was the "killing of the bull" which was BS because the bull was sedated and beaten on the horns with a sledge hammer to soften it up. Sorry, Big Ego, Big Money, Big Tournaments, Big Self Promotion. Same with Gogen Yamaguchi and his supposed "tiger killing"!
Give me someone who shows true humility and the real Soul of Budoka.
It's move is very good.thank you👍👍👍👍👍
Just wondering...the best senseis are from Japan only? I´m pretty sure there are very good masters all around the place.
Yes my sensei indias biggest sensei shihan manoj namanengad bodhidharma academy 6th dan in kerala
Maravilhoso e Muito Fantástico vídeo OSS! ! !
the heaviest hitter in this list would be Mas Oyama.. that guy is like the supremo of UFC in his era.
Yes he (Mas Oyama) has record of killing 51 bulls with his bare hands & even was capable of bending coins with help of index finger & thumb.
osu!!!! I started in judo in 1964 and 4 years later began in Shotokan karate ...but I 1970 switched to kyokushin…..brutal training …..50 rounds of kumite was normal....relentless …….hard as rock the power generated by this style is immense.....50 years later still can handle myself against much much younger karatekas ..osu ...
The heaviest hitter in this bullshit list is Morio Higaonna who no longer cares to punch but specialises in arrest claws and seizures. And our celestial fucktard put him at rank what, 18? Morio, then Mas Oyama, and I hit harder than either of them ever did. There are other masters who never cared to teach much less be filmed, I was lucky enough to know 2 of them. Most on this list are poseurs and children. While I am grateful for the video and learned a few names I did not know, it is clear the selector’s criteria was oldest available footage and nothing more. The last one had a beard that clearly cannot possibly belong to the khasa Chandalas. Not impressed.
Thanks 🙏
Respect to all máster !
Excelente trabajo
Mestres deuses das artes marciais que contribuiram para evolução planetária...👏👏👏😀😀
🐵🐵🐵
Very good!
Came by to make sure Otsuka sensei made the list. Happy to see him at number 3 ^_^
赞一个，非常好的介绍！😀
Gracias por compartir el video... tenias que poner a Chojun Miyagi.. y Hidetaka Nishiyama fue practicante de Shotokan....
No disrespect..but why is Tsutomu Ohshima 13:38 Ohshima not included among the prestigious masters ?
Mas Oyama is #1. Much respect to all the masters.
osu!!!
oss
Ous
Ous mass oyama fast
Ossu!
Very very good collection
How about Tatsuo Shimabuku (Soke of Isshinryu Karate)?
Amen!!!
Ljpodell007 Sensei Sagara and Harada Sensei tinham que estar nessa lista
I trained with instruction from, Sensai Keinosuke Enoeda. He had Dojos in London, and where I trained, in West Dulwich. Sensai Tomita also trained us in Dulwich. The English tutor was Dave Hazard.
Great list, but definitely nit the top 20! A lot of great masters missing from the list.. founders of styles like Isshin Ryu, Enshin, Ashihara are not there. No one from Shorin Ryu. Top masters of other styles also missing. I think shotokan was given a priority in this video.
Yes. I was in Ashihara.
Agreed. Grandmaster Yuichi Kuda frm Shorin ryu matsumura kenpo karate Okinawa should be on here as well. He was a great man and a wonderful teacher.
@@zachd771 as well as Hohan Soken Sensei.
Super!
Feel like this is very shotokan fav’d.. missed a fair few great masters in there also. Not sure why Oyama ranked so far back also..
Excellent, Thankyou
Great Movie.... I'm praying to the end of this Covid-19 wave....Praying for the cure, so we can back to the dojo again., Karate is my life.
Salute to the Great legends!😎🤩
I could understand Gogen Yamaguchi as a Goju Ryu Stylist But to leave out The Founder of Goju Ryu is more than absurd (Miyagi Chojun Sensei)
So many karate legends not all could be listed. These are some of the most important.
ㅅ
You put Mas Oyama at 8, as the one and only Kyokushin Master, and pack it full of Shotokan’t masters that he would have beaten easily... joke...
osu!!!!!!
Mas Oyama in 8th place? can someone tell me what martial arts sensei in this world did what made the greatest martial arts sensei Mas Oyama fight a bull and break at least one bull's horn with his bare hands
He s gonna be JOKER..🙄
is most a list than a top xd
i think you don't know about Mas Oyama. When he been at school in Japan, his friends bulling him because he Korean
While stationed on the Island of Okinawa 1971. - 1972 I trained in the style of Shoring Ryu Matsumura.
After leaving I continued training with this style.
Also Miyagi Changshun Sensei founder of Okinawa Go Jo Ryu.👍
Awesome masters!!! :)
Mas Oyama and Andy Hug, blue eyed samurai forever...

Bez względu jaki to styl najważniejsza jest siła ducha drzemiąca w człowieku i nad nią trzeba się pokłonić.
Respect for all of them and the hard work they did but none of them will beat a muay thai master
Or... just a professional boxer
Missing quite a few from different cultures and styles.
As a disciple of Matsumura Shorin Ryu , as passed down from Matsumura Sokon - traditional Okinawan Karate, it is good to see recognition given to this great grand-master who is credited for teaching other students who created and taught thier own styles and became masters of that lineage .
where's Anko Itosu Funakoshi's teacher and other karate masters.
Классная подборка. Было бы ещё лучше, если бы титры озвучивали. Переводить не успеваю.
Они тут только своих японцев показывают. Но лучший и самый титулованный каратист в истории это Рафаэль Агаев из Азербайджана.
Bambang Dewantoro, karate master Indonesia semarang
Hirukazu Kanazawa is a living legend who is a student of Shihan Gichin Funakuchi, and correction he is not a member of JKA he is a Founder of Shotokan Karete International (SKI), for Info. Only
Did you consider Mikio Yahara Sensei?
