text: could a man ever knock a tiger out with just one punch?   honestly, the possibility is there.  masutatsu (mas) oyama (1932-1994) had dispayed his incredible punching and striking power upon 52 bulls.  three were killed instantly and 49 had their horns broken off with knife-hand chops.  his physical strength and agility could easily silence a tiger in one hit.  it has been said that if o-sensei mas oyama hit you, you broke!  his nickname was "the godhand."  his martial arts style is known as kyokushinkai.
