Your 2 Martial arts heroes

Hey guys



I was wondering If people could post who their 2 main martial arts heroes, I know for some there are many more than 2 ( I could add at least 10 more to this list), but I mean if you had to pick 2. They can be from any art, style, field in martial arts at all. They can be competitors, teachers, founders, actors or non confirmed legends. As long as its a serious admiration, please no nameing of kiai masters or proven frauds as a joke Please hilarious as that might be:evil: I am just interested in who they are and why you admire them.



Mine are



1. Bas Rutten: For me Bas "el gaupo" Rutten is everything a martial artist can be, He has the competition credibility having competed in Pancrase, Pride and UFC events and won, He has the Real world fighting cred (on Teh Str33tz) from his days as a bouncer. And both back each other up. Dont beleive he would kick ass in real life? Just watch his ring fights, some of which are in the no weight class and kicks to a downed opponent class of competition, so are pretty damn close to real brawls. Add to that his tireless devotion to his art and the spread of it, his great colour comentary and great (though limited) acting credits and the fact he had a hand in revolutionising MMA to the sport we see today and you have why I like him. LIVER SHOTS!!!



2. Mas Oyama: The founder of the style of karate I have enjoyed the most. Legends about him aside, he was instumental in the bringing of realism and pressure testing to Karate, and his contribution has spawned many offshoots that have resulted in some of the hardest and best styles (in my opinion) of karate. "God hand" Oyama built a martial arts legacy that will be remembered as long as there are practioners of full contact knockdown karate, call it Kyokushinkai, Kudo or anything in between.



So guys what about you?
