Hello Yamada san!!!!!!!
Nice to have you on this board. Where did you live in Europe? I wish I could do exactly as you did, spending several years in the Land of the rising sun.

Well, i just realized that I did write some inaccurate information. I had actually forgotten about the relationship between Kyokushin and Taikiken and some of the epic encounters between the two...
As far as I know, Horibe did study some western boxing in his youth and went to several east asian countries to compare and/or test his skills (Thailand, China, the Philippines, Manmyar, Singapore,...
I replied while you were posting. Human weapon was a nice show but not always accurate. I do not know why Horibe´s Koppo jutsu was chosen for this episode. To my knowledge, Horibe never claimed any...

Mr Marko,
I won´t even try to argue with you. I know what I have seen and heard in that seminar. I also know what I read on the various forum. I do not feel the need to make any further comment...
