<a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger">Arnold Schwarzenegger</a> is one of the world&#8217;s most-loved icons. From his bodybuilding career to his stint in politics, he built a fanbase that has stuck by his side no matter what. While he may have gained global recognition with his film franchise, The Terminator, the actor has done various roles before and after his hit blockbuster. One of the most memorable is the 1982 film, Conan The Barbarian.
While the film may not be the one that the actor is recognized for, it is arguably one of his best films. The film was a sword and sorcery film that had audiences captivated by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who recently shared his exquisite sword-fighting skills. Now the seventy-six-year-old has evoked a feeling of melancholy among his fans as he mourns the loss of his sword-training Sensei Kiyoshi Yamazaki.

I just heard the news that my sensei, Kiyoshi Yamazaki, passed away. He was a wonderful man and a fantastic teacher who made me believable as Conan the Barbarian with his sword training. When I say no one is self-made, this is what I mean. Who knows if Conan would have been a… <a href="https://t.co/wpPhY2T5rO">pic.twitter.com/wpPhY2T5rO</a>

Apart from grieving this surmountable loss, Arnold Schwarzenegger also added how without his Sensei there to train him for Conan The Barbarian, <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-41-years-after-the-release-of-conan-the-barbarian-arnold-schwarzenegger-recalls-how-the-role-made-him-an-international-star/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the film may have never become the success that it did</a>.
He also said in his caption, “When I say no one is self-made, this is what I mean.” which once again showed the actor&#8217;s love for his Sensei.

Arnold Schwarzenegger fans, other athletes, and even influencers flooded the actor&#8217;s comment section with support during his rather difficult time.
<h2>Twitter bands together for Arnold Schwarzenegger</h2>
Minutes after Arnold Schwarzenegger posted on X, an outpouring of sympathy and love for the actor, film and mentor filled the comments. While some understood what the actor was going through, others could only share words of comfort and hope that they help him find some peace.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved friend and teacher, Mr. Schwarzenegger. You have been fortunate to be shaped by some of the greatest sculptors, and you honor each of them by sharing your knowledge and experiences. Godspeed, Master Yamazaki.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Good teachers are so rare, and to get them long enough to consider them a friend and family is a special thing to experience. It sounds like he was one and you get to hold that special bond forever. So sorry for your loss. ❤️

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Some also focused more on the film, Conan The Barbarian, and how Schwarzenegger had made his sensei proud long before the tragedy ever happened.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Sad news. Conan the Barbarian is one of my favorite movies and one of the reasons I got into martial arts. Loved all those sword scenes ❤️ Thanks <a href="https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Schwarzenegger</a> for everything

My heartfelt condolences, Arnold. Sensei Yamazaki&#39;s impact on your life and career shines through the authenticity of your performances. His influence will continue to live on through your portrayal of characters like Conan. Thoughts are with you and his family during this time.… <a href="https://t.co/Wx92RLCZLm">pic.twitter.com/Wx92RLCZLm</a>

What surprised everyone was that there were also users who took to the platform to share their experience with The Terminator&#8216;s mentor.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
He was my childhood karate instructor as well. A friend of the family and an inspiration to me years after our last lesson had concluded. He will be missed. <a href="https://t.co/Adg34Wkq2W">pic.twitter.com/Adg34Wkq2W</a>

While Arnold Schwarzenegger might be receiving the right kind of support from his fans, it is not surprising for anyone to need some time to deal with these emotions. The actor often indulges in conversations with his fans. Sometimes he motivates them to continue the pursuit of greatness and other times he pats them on the back. However, this time around it is his fans who are lending the actor a shoulder.
