Oyama didn't train to compete in sports, Judo Jibboo. He trained to end any confrontation. Period. Remember, he fought in 270 no rule matches in his career and ended most of them fast with one punch. And that's not counting with the Gracie math either. His level of conditioning, strength and ability crossed the line of fanaticism early on in his life. You won't see training like his today.
