Just read this in a martial arts news letter I subscribe to, absolutely mind boggling:
100 Fights in 3 Days Oyama would not require anything of his students that he had not previously done. Therefore, Oyama would elect to undertake the 100-man fighting first. It was soon after his arduous training in the mountains when Oyama chose hyakunin kumite as the ultimate test for kyokushin. He was at the pinnacle of physical conditioning and believed there was no better time to take on such a task. Therefore, he selected the best black belt students from his dojo for his opponents, and he required each student to fight him for two minutes, consecutively. After the entire group of students fought Oyama, they repeated their fighting rotation until 100 bouts were complete. To satisfy Oyama’s personal supreme test, he chose to face 100 consecutive fights a day over the course of three days, for a total of 300 fights. He would take small breaks after every 20 or so fights in order to replenish fluids and tend to matters of personal hygiene. Sleep between each of the 100 man fight days was at a minimum for Oyama due to the increase of adrenaline and anticipation of the next day’s fights.
Many of the students who faced Oyama fought three or four times during the three days. Several students could only face him once due to injuries they sustained. Oyama would knockout many students with a single blow. Although he wanted to continue for a fourth day, he was unable to because of the lack of willing opponents. For these three days, Oyama fought full-contact, without pads, against his top students, defeating them all. No other martial artist in history has even made an attempt at duplicating his 300-man fight. And because of the punishing effect this ordeal had on his students, Oyama would not attempt such a feat again.

Hes actualy dead. I looked him up after reading this thread. He died of lung cancer aged 70 in 1994. He never smoked. He sounded like one tough bastard though.
