Re: Second best.
Any man that can walk over 30km a day with armour, shielding and weaponry is a man that is well trained, very disciplined, determined and very strong. These men were not average.

Re: reply to stavros
Stavros, you know your stuff. On Mas Oyama: one of the toughest to ever come out of Japan. He fought bulls with his bare hands and rumor has it that he even fought a bear the same way. His type of karate, Kyokushinkai, is probably the roughest Asian style next to Muay Thai there is. I used to compe...
