Fear was the hardest problem for the Great Fighter

     

 

<What the Korean narration says>

A Korean writer(Bang, Hak Gi)asked Choi, Bae-Dal(Masutatsu Oyama, The Grand master and the founder of the Kyokusin Karate) repeatedly direct question when he was in the course of writing his biography. And he got unexpected answer.

"I repeated my asking, 'Master, weren't you scared?', and then, he burst into loud laughter and said, 'whenever I fought each world best fighter in the world, great chunks of my hair fell out every single time of my fight. Because of fear and stress.' And he explained his lip rembled and he felt as if he were in the air and so on. So I was impressed by his words, thinking that alas! even the greatest fighter also is scared..."

The photos you can see in this movie file is those of Masutatsu Oyama's feature in his childhood.
