bushido_man96 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Ole what-his-name was impressed, so they must have pressed the right buttons.It was entertaining; not "traditional" by any means; very XMA. But if they were aiming for entertainment value, that it was. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I couldn't get your link to work but here's the same thing from ITV: http://talent.itv.com/stories/viewStory/16461153I didn't think they were that impressive to be honest... I think a large part of it came from them ripping off their shirts and backflipping their way across the stage in front of swooning Amanda and the women in the audience! And I know they were pretty open about it being XMA but martially it was pretty poor.

bushido_man96 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Like I said, their goal was entertainment. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I personally don't think it was that entertaining. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It was ok. I have seen better demos, but by more "professional" demo teams, though. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully my earlier comment makes sense now..Had a look round for the Chungdokwan team.. I think I'm looking at the right one now . They seem ok.. don't think they will get very far with it though. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
