Moreover, there are claims that Great Mountain Pedda can twist a coin with just his index and thumb, earning him the nickname 'Divine Hand' due to his terrifying finger strength.
With such a powerful master at the helm, Kyokushin Karate has rapidly established branches in 120 countries worldwide over 30 years, boasting over 12 million students, making it the largest combat art force in the world.
As a disciple taken under Great Mountain Pedda in his later years, Sodaimura Yujiro's talent in Karate was recognized and praised by Great Mountain Pedda.
Sodaimura Yujiro received comprehensive training from Great Mountain Pedda, refining Kyokushin Karate to perfection, achieving a level of mastery capable of contending for the top spot on Japan Island.
Even Yagyu Ito would not dare claim a fifty-fifty chance in a confrontation with Sodaimura Yujiro; rather, it would be more like thirty-seventy, with him thirty and Sodaimura Yujiro seventy.
