A recurring theme in these stories of hand-to-hand combat between our boys and the japs seems to be that our guys had little trouble dispatching them on a one to one (or one against two) situation, despite the judo and other martial arts skills. I have heard several Marines stories where they were able to disarm a banzai-charging japanese and kill him with his own bayonet or gun butt.
