Ever since it's inception Kyokushin karate has been trying to prove it's power to the world in a wide variety of different ways. Such as breaking Bricks, Boards, Rocks, etc.

But in the beginning Kyokushin founder Mas Oyama would fight versus animals such as Bears and Bulls. Mas Oyama has reportedly defeated 52 bulls in combat and 1 bear.
