November 17, 201015 yr There is always something. I think it can be a good thing, if they get it regulated right. https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
November 18, 201015 yr They are using the crappy version of the electronic hogus. The LaJust hogus are just plain broken pieces of equipment. I saw a high level heavyweight kick one of those things with all his power and nothing came up. That was when a mannequin was wearing it. Then I've seen taps that score points. The Daedo protectors are much better.As far as cheating goes, who knows who is actually cheating. The WTF isn't exactly the cleanest organization in the world. They may have wanted to pave the way for a different fighter. It could have just been a last second rule change. Who knows. Also, sensors in the heel would only affect the back kick. Head kicks are scored by the judges, and all other kicks, aside from maybe the cut kick use other parts of the foot. He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.- Tao Te Ching"Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain."- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
