one of the oldest and most prestigious karate events, the hyakunin kumite, or 100-man challenge, is perhaps the most unique challenge in all of karate. devised by kyokushin karate founder, mas oyama, the challenge is the ultimate mental and physical challenge, designed to test ones spirit. kenji yamaki described the challenge as a transformative experience. howard collins said it was the hardest three hours of his life.


when people talk about the hyakunin-kumite, the first thing that they think of is the long jump. while it’s not a major part of the kumite, after you’ve done the 100-man you will see the results of the one-man event. when people talk about the hyakunin-kumite, the first thing that they think of is the long jump. it doesn’t give us an accurate indication of what was really going on inside the mind of the man in front of him. you can’t judge the result until the man is out of the ring and the competition is over. the challenge is to resist the temptation to wonder what was going on inside his head. the true test of manliness is to understand one’s limits, and thereby demonstrate the true strength of one’s spirit. at the root of the spirit of karate is the respect, admiration, and love of a student for his master. even when one grows to master level, even a top-class fighter, he can be defeated in his own mind.


chibana and his students challenged karasawa for the kumite. chibana, in his last years, was not the handsome, big-boned fighter he had been in his youth. karasawa, however, put up an impressive fight. chibana was down three times before the match ended. karasawa, of course, won. after the match, the master of the dojo said to his student, “you have made a good match. you are a worthy heir to the hyakunin-isshin.” kenji yamaki, the next challenger, was defeated by the same master in one-on-one hand-to-hand combat in his last year. the student said to the master, “i have no stomach for fighting like this, but if you insist, i will continue.” chibana replied, “you shouldn’t be discouraged. defeat may make you stronger.” yamaki lost his match by drawing. he then lost his spirit for karate practice, and his mastery degenerated to the point where he became an ordinary fighter. 84d34552a1
