Post-film Q&A with actor Yang Dong-geun moderated by Jaewook Kim, University of Houston
Yang Dong-geun stars as real-life Korean-born Choi Yeong-eui as he arrives in 1938 Japan, hoping to become a fighter pilot, but ending up on a different path. He changed his name to Masutatsu Oyama and went across the country, defeating martial artists one after another. This film concentrates on the period when he develops his famous karate style, Kyokushin, which is a full-contact style of stand-up fighting rooted in a philosophy of self-improvement, discipline, and hard training.
