Kenka Karate Kyokusinken [Priced-down Reissue]

[Machine Translation] [Based on the book "Karate Baka Ichidai" written by Kajiwara Ikki and Kagemaru Joya, this action film depicts the turbulent life of Oyama Baetatsu, the father of Kyokushin Karate, which is now recognized around the world for its power. The action star Shinichi Chiba plays the role of Oyama Baidatsu in a series of powerful scenes that show the tremendous destructive power of killing a fierce bull with a sword and the rigorous training that produces that power. Oyama Baetatsu himself, members of the Kyokushinkai, and Kazuki Kajiwara, the author of the original novel, also make special appearances. --In 1949, a jumped-in fencer won the first postwar All Japan Karate-do Championship Tournament held in Kyoto. His name was Oyama Baidatsu, who was overwhelmingly strong despite his ragged karate uniform. Although Oyama's name was well known throughout the country on that day, karate authorities, including Nakasone, the head of the Nihon Senbukan, the leading karate organization in Japan, denounced his karate as "wicked karate" and "kekka karate. Oyama was ostracized by the regime and isolated from the karate world. Ariake from Senbukan was so impressed by Oyama's karate that he took him on as an apprentice. When this story of heroism was reported in the press, Senbukan's criticism of Oyama became heated, and an enraged Ariake beat the Senbukan student to a pulp! Oyama's karate life begins to be shaken up by this incident--and the rest is history.
