Many of Mas Oyama's exploits were largely mythical. Oyama was something of a self-promoter and, at least, one biographer has confessed that he was "told" by Oyama to include events that never occurred.
No doubt Oyama was a tough fighter and Karateka, but he was also something of a bull horn.
As for my writing style that seems to so infuriate some folks, all I can say is that I do inject some ribbing in my posts to make them interesting and to get some reactions. However, content-wise, I do not BS. I could be wrong or subscribe to mistaken beliefs, but I do not make things up.
As is said "you've already made up your mind. Don't let me try to confuse you with facts."
Cheers! This is a fun topic!
