Real Kyusho from a Real Master

well this is certainly the most realistic of the videos you have posted. This guy is the real deal. I think it would be harder to fake these than to actually pull them off. I saw a few Jujitsu moves in there and some things I recognize. my one question is the recoup time for some of these strikes...these guys get right up after a few 'massages'...theres the real art

He's not striking really

He's not striking really hard, but his strikes are causing his uke's an incredible amount of pain. They aren't going down because their chi is messed up, they are going down because it hurts so bad. Oyata was famous for training so that his students could actually feel what this stuff did. He no longer does this, however, because of the danger to the uke, yet at the time these vids were shot, he felt that the world needed to really see what kara-te really was supposed to be like.

Here are some more

Here are some more techniques demonstrated by Oyata. One of the things that should become apparent is that he is using the same forms that are using. THAT is absolutely amazing. How could we all have been so wrong for so long?
