Question

We all know about the Gracie/ Kimura challenges, and the Gracie history of challenging other styles.... So why didn't they ever challenge Mas Oyama? In his prime oyama must have had quite a reputation.... I know nowadays certaian people say he wasn't all he was cracked up to be but still, Oyama apparently took up all challenges and fought 300 matches, so why didn't the Gracies go to take him out? Does anyone know if a challenge was issued?

Isn't Mas much older and of a different generation? The Gracies would have had no problem taking Mas to the canvas and beating the crap out of him.

i believe mas oyama was doing the challenge match thing around the 50s and 60s..
helio could have challenged him. mas was 220 lbs of pure power, helio has great skill, but mas is just a power house. im not sure many people could have taken him down..
he was very, very hardcore..

The Gracies know that it takes only one punch to finish the fight if they challenged Oyama. BTW, there are No Gracies that can compare to Oyama when in comes in brute strength.

Mas Oyama = Kyokushin Karate founder 10th dan
Mas Oyama = Judo 4th dan
Mas Oyama = BRUTE strength, POWER + no fear.

Ever wonder why they never challenge him?

Mas= 220 lbs. of ignorance of grappling
Sorry guys, but Helio or Carlson would have owned his ass. Oyama's legacy of students are equally ignorant.

Judo and BJJ are not the same!

Helio would have won. Personally I rather be facing Oyama than Ken Shamrock.

choppie... both were derived from japanese jiu-jitsu...

maeda was a JJJ master who taught carlos gracie. carlos taught helio, etc.

judo is the competitive and "safe" form of JJJ, developed by jigoro kano.

Mas Oyama didn't kill bulls, but he did use knife hand strikes to cut off their horns. Yes, he trained very hardcore, and was extremely dedicated to the perfection of his art. However, when he won the 300 matches, remember he fought his own students and he fought them several times. Fighting someone of a different style is very confusing, particularly like BJJ when it first came out on the scene. No one knew much about it, and its concepts. It's like we all saw in the first few UFC's, when strikers were completely ignorant to the concepts of ground fighting. Even strikers versus strikers was often a cumbersome sight to watch. As far as Judo goes, a solely Judo practicioner against a BJJ practicioner gets beaten pretty quick. Because of the competitive aspect of Judo, and the changing of its techniques from a martial aspect into a competitive aspect, a lot was lost by the transition of it.
