After hearing from multiple sources in martial arts world (although none first hand) that the performances by Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin (knocking out bulls, breaking ice) were mostly staged (bull was sedated and the strikes were timed to that, ice salted, bricks structurally compromised etc) I have a hard time taking Karate seriously. Also wasn’t there a famous, widely publicized duel between Muay-Thai and karate practitioners where Thai guys dominated the karatekas so much it wasn’t even funny?
