Thai_Kick Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 I have to feel it... a uh? What about Kyokushin, it's a budo art yet fights in sport (K-1, Knockdown, Sabaki...) Limits Are Not Accepted. They Are Elbowed, Kicked And Punched.
ZeRo Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 i feel i have to step in here, some of you may have noticed a slight bit of tension between kensai and thai_kick, may i remind you to keep this friendly. this is a friendly community and lets keep it that way. chill. peace out.
Kensai Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 I am all for full contact sparring, within the remit of MA training. Not competition. Kyokushin is a very modern style of Karate, and not a budo art. Not to my knowledge. I was talking about the main styles, the Okinwanan, Gojo, Shotokan and Wado. If Kyokushin fighters want to fight in the Oylmpic's then they can, however they are going to have to sacrfice, everything that makes Kyokushin a good style. Full contact sparring. As the Oylmpic's wont allow it. Take Care.

What tension? I'm asking questions because I really don't understand why a budo art can't compete in sport? XpOiSoN FrEeX, I suggest you "chill" and keep your pu**y comments to yourself!

Kensai Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Thai_Kick, your tone is not really nessary, he was only joking about. I think I could tell you about Budo arts until I am blue in the face, but I dont think you would understand what I ment. Take Care.
Thai_Kick Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 Kyokushin fighters want to fight in the Oylmpic's then they can, however they are going to have to sacrfice, everything that makes Kyokushin a good style. Sacrifice what? Their would be nothing to sacrifice! Kyokushin is a hard style that is extremly well respected for it's full contact sparring in regular class and sport tournaments (K-1, Knockdown, Sabaki...). People know and understand that Kyokushin practitioners are rough and tough and can take a punch or kick, so to place it in the Olympics will help promote Karate and a greater amount of respect will be given towards Karateka's in general for their fighting ability/spirit. Also the Olympic Conceal would allow full contact, since they have considered Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Pankration to do a demonstration in 2004 and 2008 to see how people will react to the sport, so anything is possible. Limits Are Not Accepted. They Are Elbowed, Kicked And Punched.
Kensai Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 I am not sure that they will actually allow full contact. You only have to look at how they De-fanged Judo and TKD. Take Care.
niel0092 Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 I agree. They made us water down TKD to make it more pallateable to the masses, why wouldn't they do the same to other arts? It began as a demo sport in 1988 and in a short 14 years our credability is shot. Worst thing to ever happen to TKD. "Jita Kyoei" Mutual Benefit and Welfare
Kensai Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 Once upon a time, General Choi created a complete system called Tae Kwon Do, it included techniques from karate and jujutsu, as well as the effects of other native Korean styles. Then the olymics came along and told them they could only punch and kick, and that was not even full contact. What they have done to Judo is possibly worse, they are only aloud to "fight" from a few grappling positions, and virtually no true ground work. As Kodokan Judo (Traditional) is as nasty on the ground as BJJ. I hope for the sake of your style Thai_Kick, that MT does not get into the olymics, because I really dont think you will be able to compete in the true nature of MT. However, thank what ever deity you believe in that there are still good teachers out there, teaching the arts as they should be taught. Take Care.
