He He first undertook to master Kodokan judo, but later switched to karate, in which he made such amazing progress that at 17 he was second dan(grade)and at 22 fourth dan.
In 1947, Oyama won the All-Japan Karate Championship.
In 1952, he travelled to America to represent the karate world of Japan. While there, he proved to thousands of people in over 200 exhibitions how astounding the power of karate is. He also set a new record for undefeated contests with some of America s most noted boxers and wrestlers. When he returned to Japan, 1953, he engaged in unarmed battle with bull sporting horns four inches in diameter. After fierce struggle, Oyama snapped one of the bull s horns of at the root. This feat of strength amazed the entire world, but it was only the beginning of a long series of such thrilling contests for Oyama. In his lifetime, he has battled 52 bulls.
