Remember that O-Sensei was a mere mortal like the rest of us, with flesh and bone that was no different from ours.
Nor was he trained to fight kung fu fighters of authentic combat lineage, else his art would've included hard chi gung training (Iron Body) and an extensive blocking system to deal with incoming strikes that come during grappling transitions (especially in a multiple opponent scenario).
Why do I state all this emphatically? Because I can SEE IT in his body, his muscles, his tendons, and his posture. There's no way he'd stand so erect with me (or my 200 lb+ students) pressing our bodies against his, especially since we'd be countering his moves with our own chin na as well as strikes and dirty tricks.
:rolleyes:
