Masutatsu Yama The founder of Kyokushin Karate, found traditional Karate too soft and spent his life perfecting a punch called the Godhand. He did this by secluding himself from society for approximately 3 years, training in the Japanese mountains, and sleeping in temples. Yamas training regimen included meditating under waterfalls, working out 16 hours a day, breaking rocks and trees with his bare hands, fighting wild animals, and doing other things normally reserved for Jean-Claude Van Damme training montages. When he returned to society he picked an empty lot, called it Yama Dojo, and started showcasing his skills by fighting animals and people alike. Yama fought bulls barehanded, reputedly killing 3 with a single strike, and even fought 300 men in 3 days. HOLY SHIT!
