what martial arts should be made an olympic sport?


Recommended Posts

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.
