This is a movie based on the life of Choi Baedal(Mas Oyama), the founder of Kyokushin Karate during the Japanese occupation of Korea.
Before he founded Kyokushin, he toured Japan challenging the best Karate instructors in each prefectures he visited and went on to defeat all of them. He has said he did so to show Japanese people that while they may be able to take our nation with their western arsenal and technology, they could never overcome us without them. This movie chronicles his tour.
Although it may seem like a biographical film, the director chose to make it as an action flick from a comic book that was started based on the life of Choi, which is a shame.
This film stars Yang Dong-Geun, Masaya Kato, Jung Duhong, and Aya Hirayama.
