Taekwondo Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 At the recent Taekwondo international world championships people paid around £60 for a weekend pass to watch mainly semi contact Taekwondo, a few patterns were thrown in with a bit of full contact. The fighters paid around £35 each to fight. The event attracted over 1800 competitors from all over the world. They had 28 rings in play on both days and the event was sold out completely.

RossP Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 All Martial Arts used to claim to be the best, in the early 90's it was put to the test. I think people nowadays just want to learn stuff that really works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did any of those fighters have "mug" tatooed on their forehead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a lot of idiotic people around. Paying £60 to watch a load of semi contact? Sounds like the kind of sport for Castle black belt academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taekwondo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I am a full contact person myself, but I have a lot of respect for the semi contact guys. I see no need to start calling them any names or comparing them to rip of merchants. They are obviously not dying out on the contrary they are getting stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
