Champions become champions because they train harder and smarter. To the above poster: take any champion and let him prepare for your different rule set fight like he would a championship fight in his rule set and he'll win. If you really believe differently you are being misled. 2 arms, 2 legs. The will to be the best is important...above all else. Style is unimportant. What will you do to win? A world champion in ping pong would answer: anything.

Instead of being upset that xyz fighter is competing...come up with your own competitions in the rule set that you'd prefer! Make your league most successful one and someday you will have your own detractors who talk a lot of smack.

I tried to resist commenting in this thread, as I think most of the important points have long ago been made. However...

The will to be the best is important...above all else. Style is unimportant. What will you do to win? A world champion in ping pong would answer: anything.
Do not think that you have to win, but think that you do not have to lose.

...the difference between these two quotes is why I believe the sport side of karate should always take a back-seat, why I ultimately hope that karate is never in the olympics. For me it's not the technique differences, nor is it the politics, nor the awareness it raises about the art. For me it is the difference of mindset.
