The Most Dangerous Man in Japan in a Real Fight

[DiLiNiTi]

I met him 4 years ago during a 5 day training camp in Okinawa. He really was beating concrete with his bare hands, which were a dark colour and his feet. But he was very kind and courteous, I think that kindness comes naturally with this kind of strength

Likely one of the strongest and most combat capable 80+ year olds in our world

Sensei Morio Higaonna, the legendary Goju Ryu Karate master, was described over 30 years ago as “The Most Dangerous Man in Japan in a Real Fight" by another legend, Donn Draeger. We think today at 84 years old, Morio Higaonna is still very dangerous! What do you think?

Basics, Basics, Basics. Learning the basic base of a system cannot be overstated.

every martial art is beyond what pop culture has popularized, it's always about conditioning your body and mind, it's about discipline and readiness.

The original Heihachi inspiration, u can tell this dude is the real deal

[dakentaijutsu]

This man is over 80 years old, and he's still training, what an inspiration! 🥋👊

[Davidtechguy]

A true master, still teaching, still training. What an inspiration!! He’s still got it!

Karate is not always about punches, kicks, elbow strikes, chopping, or grappling. It's also about how well build your body is, specially if you have a strong fist to crush things. And it's not an easy task. It takes hard and wise work of training.

Don Draeger, of immense knowledge, skill and strength, died about 40 years ago, after being poisond in Indonesia. I am quite sure he never said it about Higaona, as good as Higaona was. I had been living in Japan at the time and I met Higaona sensei too, who tried to open a dojo in Tokyo but closed after a short while because it was not profitable.

People don’t realise how hard these old school karate guys are, they’re rock hard. These men came up when you actually had to be strong as f—k to even make it beyond yellow belt not like today how they hand out black belts like candy after 18 months - 2years. That’s what’s given the traditional martial arts a bad name these days.!

[maxander]

Karate is such a beautiful but deadly art . Often overlooked because of MMA matches. But old school legends like this master. Not only have so much knowledge they also have power and a vast wealth of mechanics of application concerning technique.

[peterbartolomeo]

Hes the greatest Goju ryu master alive Brutal but kind. He has lived karate all his life How Great

[corny]

Now we know who taught Master Ken to always re-stomp the groin!

[kevinotoole]

Been looking for the UFC comment😂 normally get some cock chops saying something. This guy is a legend, I was taught by a man like this who is sadly no longer with us. Respect Sensei.

[diosdadoapias]

That is, I think, the real Karate not like those being taught now a days. You can see in their training as really self defense.

[MARTIAL_STRIKER]

True karate And Good Dragon 🐉 Warrior of a Sensei ❤👊🏻🫡

[vishnuvishnu]

Some claim that karate is impractical they have to learn that ancient karate is a battle field art and have to meet real masters like him

[jonahjameson]

These are the moves I use to ward off my inlaws.

Hia hands look like clubs. I bet they are like bricks.
