  • @sf10th77 Sorry for my delay in replying. Ultimately sport has adversely affected martial arts. I feel sport has diluted the practise of genuine martial art. Ironically this is most apparent in sport compeition. Fighters are less then they used to be yesteryear. Technically they may be better but they have less heart. Sport philosophy has diluted martial art philosophy to produce spiritually weaker fighters. The result is fights that do not look much like fights and more like sparring sessions.

  • stop making those stupid comments ASSHOLES!

  • @novoscotia I second your motion. Back when WTF broke on an international level, you had to first pass state. Then nationals. If you managed to make it that far then you petioned for worlds. The strategy used then was multiple combos, lead the opponent into your attack - if it started to idle, use a defensive attack to set up a counter, etc. I've seen yellows beat browns but had the decision turned because of the environment. I'd like to compare training from then and now. Whaddaya think?

  • If it does't matter to you how long I've been training/competing then why did you originally question my experience in Taekwondo? I've criticised the judging of this fight and the outcome of the fight. Your responses to my criticisms are as flaky as the judging/outcome of the fight itself. Take some time to read other criticisms of this fight by other viewers - I think you will find that your analysis of this fight places you in a minority. Overall judgement of this fight supports my criticisms

  • @novoscotia It doesn't matter how long you've been competing or training. you've still failed to reply to all the points i have made

  • The chest protector is very slack on the KOR fighter. When a kick lands the movement of the chest protector takes some of the force out of it and may even make the electronic system fail to score a kick. Some might call that cheating. I'll leave it to the viewers to make their own decision on it

  • @novoscotia The standard of committment of fighters in WTF competitions has gone down a lot. The number of kicks thrown in this fight is very low. They're fighting for a World title - not sparring in the gym. Watch the videos of the 1988 Olympic finals - the committment of the fighters then was higher than that of today. Fighters were perhaps less technical (?) but had a better fighting spirit. Fighters today are technically better (?) but their spirit is lacking - lack of committment

  • @m00lkimch1 In my day fighters were deducted points for not actively engaging with their opponent. A match could be lost by not being offensive enough - perhaps they should emphasise that more nowadays. If I'm immature then you are equally arrogant to assume you can judge me when you know nothing about me. Your over-reaction to my criticisms says more than you responses to those criticisms. Bias towards Korean fighters has a long history in WTF competitions. Ask your seniors about this.

  • @m00lkimch1 If you are younger than 26 then all you need to know is I was fighting in WTF competition before you were born, son. Nothing but chest protector and groin guard. Fighters wanted to fight to win. Referees were there to seperate fighters not tell them to fight more! Nothing about fighting and training to fight that you can tell me, son. In my day fighters mostlyscored with offensive techniques - not jumping up and down for 2:30 and sneaking in a kick at the last opportinuty every round

  • @novoscotia i am not saying that the GBR was bad. its just that none of your complaints are correct. And you really need to fix your attitude. the korean won because it took place in korea- i mean how immature can you be?

    oh and please be more informed about the rules before you start commenting like you did.

    Oh and by the way, I am Korean.

    However, I actually respect other countries and people from different countries. unlike you.
