Zauriel Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Judo and Tae Kwon Do are the only Asian martial arts to be made olympic sports. Olympic sports of Boxing, wrestling and fencing are also European martial arts. List of the martial arts that I think should be included into Olympics: Kung Fu Karate Muay Thai Aikido Arnis/Escrima Savate (French kickboxing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mike Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I think they should go kinda of free for all...like ufc. regardless of style. then we would truly see the nation's best athletes. When a man's fortunate time comes, he meets a good friend;When a man has lost his luck, he meets a beautiful woman.-anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorinryu Sensei Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I agree with Angela. Look at what the Olympics have done to judo and TKD...made them a sport, not a "martial art". Personally, if they put Shorinryu in the Olympics, I would in no way be interested in participating in it, or promoting it.

Mu Ryuk Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I think they should bring back Pankration. Or just NHB/MMA, which is basically Pankration, the rules are just slightly different heh. Passion transcends pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenguartist Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yes, I've also heard they intend on introducing wushu into the next olypics. I guess they're hoping for the same thing to happen as it did with taekwondo. .:let honor guide your hand:."you won't be alive long enough to remember my name" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
