Was Oyama fake?

[Zentroidal]

oh man...where to start..

Mas Oyama was real. the mash up editing of the video and the implied narrative....not so much.
i do not know the source of the video but i would imagine its editing was someone other than Oyama himself. So the Youtube narrator seemed to be focused on the Bull horn. without viewing the original video i feel the edited version of the footage added the horn after the fact and was not part of Oyamas performance. he was known to "karate chop" off a bull horn and i think the film editor added the horn being thrown on the ground to show this. however it looks to me that Oyama may not have been able to do this stunt on this particular day or perhaps the footage was not sufficent quality for the video.
the YouTube Narrator says "if Oyama could produce the g forces to smash though solid bone" .......new flash a horn is not really solid bone there is a bone center but the actual horn is a keratin covering.
it is clear the Youtube narrator was critical of the hollywood mash up, this should be separated from what Oyama was actually doing. Hollywood types have a way of screwing everything up.
Oyama was wrestling the bull to the ground. in itself it doesnt look impressive, especially to those unfamilar with cattle and bulls. i know i couldnt do it. Oyama was also known to kill bulls with a punch to the head. however the tale is a little over blown, the tale i heard was that he did kill a bull with punches ..yes multiple punches to its skull over a three day span (if my memory is correct) i would challenge anyone to do that!!!
so yes Oyama was for real but we have a tendency to make the fish bigger with every telling.

that video is actually yeah cut down, in that fight he broke it loose by smashing the skull then ripped it off, he never hit it off in that fight maybe in some other bull fights

Well wrestling a bull by the neck cannot be done. Its like trying to outrun a car or stop a bullet with your abs. Even with perfect technique, no amount of angular momentum can move something that's 10 times your weight and 10 times your strength (if you are the strongest man in the world).

The stunt was obviously staged. That doesn't mean Oyama was a fluke. He just needed marketing, and since we're still talking about the bull, he obviously got it in buckets.

bull is not as strong as you think oky sure strong but now how would you even fake such a thing? i have seen the real video no he wasn't drugged or what kind of crap is out there. the fight is 100% real and if you think logically, it ain't as difficult as you may think

Here is the full footage:

To the best of my knowledge, that's the only known footage of his supposed bullfighting. He made this clip (where the horn break is clearly faked) and then later claimed to have done the same thing on multiple occasions, but I'm not aware of any documentation for those claims.

ur research ability is horrible this is real video

he didn't hit the horn off he pulled it off after hitting it loose, this one is with real sound. do better and don't be so shallow and close minded and do better research

He was a legitimately great martial artist, but the "bullfighting" stunt was bs. (I read an article by one of his top European students years ago saying the same thing.) I'll also call shenanigans on the claim I read in one of his books that he tested his knife hands by breaking the necks of full grown German Shepards until the humane societies started complaining.

It's worth remembering that Obama did a stint on the pro wrestling circuit in the U.S. and later presented that experience as being a tour where he fought all comers in real challenge matches and was undefeated in 270 fights. The man was not a stranger to hucksterism.

the 270 fights yeah that's bs Oyama himself never claimed 270 fights he said he had couple of fights and he mostly did demonstrations, but he did have 15 total fights in america where one fight was with giant police man who ended up with 7 broken ribs after fighting Oyama, it was in the newspaper too, and snapping dog's neck with knife hand strike come on you think that's tough? Oyama wasn't fraud all he did was real but of course after he died everyone started telling lies and you believe them, why nobody said nothing when he was still alive?

Seeing as he's a world famous martial artist I very much doubt he was a fake

he definitely wasn't fake but i can't blame people for thinking that way because most of the evidence is destroyed he was all over the news for being bull killer and undefeated karateka who could smash all kinds of bricks, bottles and stones. and not to mention him creating one of the most effective fighting styles to ever exist
