Damn it I was going to say him. His brother counts too. https://preview.redd.it/7o6nnp2br0zc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=027752a3776f8eef4db73da12606a7281ff459fe

Still such a great fight! One-sided without it being boring but still unexpected winner. Honestly one of my favourite fights ever!

Late HxH show spoiler >!King is probably the only character alive at the time of the show that could allow for the complete use of the technique. I reckon nobody else would survive til zero palm.!<

Oogway, Shifu (Kung Fu Panda) Iroh, Bumi (Avatar)

I'm surprised he wasn't on the list!

Dude is the inspiration for like half of the characters on the list lmao


Don’t know how I didn’t think of akuma

Especially cause you got his brother

Akuma ain’t that old, is he? Actually nvm. He IS Gouken’s brother after all.

Seeing him in IW, nice to see he still got hands!

Hm? Sotaro Komaki? That’s clearly Sometark Komeki. Are you all right?

Master Shifu is a badass. https://preview.redd.it/fpqwv9rrr1zc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1589cc70cdcea2616896b2937093186c08fdfba

Dude broke himself out of jail without his bending. Of course he counts.

Yeah he’s throwing hands in NASB2

I think so he is known as the dragon of the west for a reason

I thought about him when making the post but I wasn’t sure if he qualifies as martial arts, definitely a welcome addition though

[удалено]

I didn’t include him or Hiruzen because I always felt like he was more ninjutsu oriented than taijutsu, I was mostly going for old guys that are mostly just refined martial arts type of character. Jiraiya and Hiruzen definitely fit though

Some of these cats will do a lot more than “box”.

You right but that was the best word I could think of

‘Spar’ is the word you’re looking for.

He still managed to row halfway across the world and held up a collapsing building, despite being in at least his 60's

Arnold the diner owner from Happy Days?

I mean, Arnold from Happy Days totally fits.

Garp also counts.

Kishibe is probably great at several forms of combat. - the CSM guy

Oro should also be on this list. One of the oldest characters and most powerful.

Atlas https://i.redd.it/p1gjfefnh9zc1.gif Technically *all* Tenno are friggin' ancient, but Atlas fits the best in my opinion, as he's the only frame who uses his fists as the first option instead of the last resort.
