UseoForce Posted November 26, 2005 Author Posted November 26, 2005 Sry to split posts...elbows, you really think judo is better after its Olympic acceptance? If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
IronWarrior Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I trained in it a bit also.. its up to the students and instructors of the art to keep it 'pure' and not diluted, as long as they keep there 'Honour' and 'Integrity' intact.
mean fighter Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 When will this be brocasting anyway If you wash your hands in anger, you never have clean hands
UseoForce Posted November 29, 2005 Author Posted November 29, 2005 The ICHF hasn't given a decision yet, to my knowledge. Even after a decision is made, there will be rules and legal crap to do. If the ICHF gives its approval, I wouldn't expect it to be on the air any sooner than several months from now. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
mean fighter Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 thats total crap how do you qualify and can other martial artist from other styles like karate and TKD compete aswell If you wash your hands in anger, you never have clean hands
elbows_and_knees Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I surprised how few people have actually posted on this thread. Does no one understand how HUGE this is? Apparently, this is something ESPN thinks will be bigger than the UFC!Bigger than UFC? nah... Let's not forget that espn 2 shows a lot of MA stuff that you won't see on other channels.
elbows_and_knees Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Sry to split posts...elbows, you really think judo is better after its Olympic acceptance?Actually, yes. For various reasons. With such a high level of competition out there, it's not hard to find good, hardcore competition schools. At the same time, if you're not into that, it's also not hard to find where the hobbyist schools are.
mean fighter Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Well what I think is that this could hurt not just HKD but alot others aswell If you wash your hands in anger, you never have clean hands
Charlie Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 If HapKiDo competitions are broadcast on ESPN, I'll eagerly watch them and I'm fairly sure I'll really enjoy them. I know that the most martial art competitions don't show all of the capabilities or techniques inherent in each individual style, but it's interesting to see how the different styles look and act when involved in regulated fighting matches. During a competition, another discipline may employ a technique I'm familiar with in a way I never thought of before. Thus, it can also be a learning experience as well as entertainment.I wonder why ESPN chose HapKiDo and not any of the other numerous styles there are out there? Or maybe they have and we haven't heard about it?
UseoForce Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 From an outsider's perspective, yeah, I'm sure it would be cool. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
