The founder of Kyokushing Karate is Sosai Masutatsu Oyama. He was a half Korean half Japanese man that wanted to find a way to fight effectively while remaining standing up.

without a doubt the best martial artist in the world TO DATE is a Japanese man called masutatsu oyama. You have to appreciate that the household names such as Bruce Lee and Bolo Yeung have been overhyped due to television and the media but not for one second can anyone say either of these were not outstanding martial artists. masutatsu oyama studied many forms of Japanese martial arts and became so fanatical that he trained up to 12 hours a day every day at his peak. He mastered many moves including the poisonous and his knowledge of how to employ strikes was somewhat a devine intervention. It is in writing that masutatsu oyama fought up 52 bulls, he killed two of them outright with a straight punch to the head and 49 of them he removed horns with side swipes or knife hand techniques.
