Yeah I don't think it'd be easy but I just saw the one guy with it. If I had knee problems I absolutely wouldn't do BJJ lol. I can't some stuff due to a.... vertigo type.... thing I guess. I can roll but I can't do some of the warmups like the jumping summersault. I'll stand up and fall over.

This is giving me big Fencing feels where the two dudes tap each other at the same time and then someone tells us which tap counts

I don't get it. There is no force behind it. Is it just sparring where you pull everything? Scoring points I guess.

Yeah, you score points for contact not for force with leads to the issue Like, that one dudes hook kick at the end of the round was cool but it also felt kind of silly because it was literally a gentle tap with no force.

Pretty much. As it's become more of a sport over martial art it's about control as much as anything else. It's been over 20 years since I did any competition though so I'm completely out of the loop with rules these days.

kyokushin/knockdown karate rules and should get a slot in these tokyo olympics. it's pretty much bare knuckle kickboxing with fist strikes (elbows too i think?) only allowed below the neck and kicks permitted anywhere including straight to the dome. check out some vids on youtube instead of watching lame rear end kata. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flXKilSZbWQ edit: lol oh yeah and no rounds! quote:Points are scored by knocking the opponent out, down to the floor, by sweep and controlled follow up for half a point, or by otherwise visibly incapacitating them. Unless there is a knockdown or sweep, the bout is continuous, with stoppages only to break up locked clinches or if the fighters leave the fight area.

I don’t understand the scoring at all. Seems like they sometimes score for the guy that got punched in the face? I get that it’s point fighting but is it just the first one to hit that scores?

Overall I liked it. FAR better than TKD. Although I think they're trying to fool the judges a bit with yells. They'll yell and just stop fighting because it seems like they think they scored a point and then the ref stops it afterwards. So I think they're milking that a bit.

TKD is better than judo and karate imo cause at least in that the scoring makes sense

I tried watching TKD this year and just couldn't do it. All they do is drop their hands at their sides and dance around throwing the same kick back and fourth. Couldn't believe how boring it was.

Karate is on right now again. Kata atm. Kumite will be on later I'm assuming. I don't mind kata. I really enjoyed doing it when I was in TKD. Just doing your best to master a series of moves. I thought it was fun and liked getting everything as smooth as I could.

I'm surprised at Japan's poor showing so far, they're doing well enough in kata but their kumite performance is really lacking and they can't advance past groups.

Pennywise the Frown posted:I don't get it. There is no force behind it. Is it just sparring where you pull everything? Yup. You're penalized if you injure your opponent in kumite. Kata is a show of artistry and discipline but unless you play it yourself you'll have no idea what you're looking at, so it's not much for watching. Ditto poomsae, the TKD equivalent. Demonstration versions of both sports would be flashy and exciting and completely indistinguishable from each other and impossible to score; at that point it's rhythmic gymnastics with splinters. Pennywise the Frown posted:I tried watching TKD this year and just couldn't do it. All they do is drop their hands at their sides and dance around throwing the same kick back and fourth. Couldn't believe how boring it was. Competition TKD has the potential to be exciting but the meta has become sooooo loving dull because most of the permitted techniques have more sensible counters, so you're limited to side kicks, 180 hook kicks to the back of the head, or stealing points with straight punches, which nobody ever does because it only scores one and the other guy's going to do the same thing. It's not even a "it's different if you play it yourself" cause I had a hard time sitting through it too. Of course their hands are low because head punches aren't allowed (them's the rules), and blocking a kick to the head with your arms would be stupid when you can just move or get your leg in the way. Leg blocks aren't allowed either, but if you just so happen to be kicking at the same time... Bring back kyung-go penalties and make it a deduction to clearly initiate a clinch, or to be attacked first, and open it up a bit

Two gold medal matches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIRaPuFkwRM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsmqUuTIoyg I don't watch much TKD, but the men here seem to have extremely TKD stances and tactics. Convergent evolution from similar rulesets or actually competing in TKD as well? I get the need for rating the cleanness of techniques, in a domain where you don't judge on damage or end fights over accumulated damage. Don't necessarily agree with it, but I understand. Hey, ref, what do you think of me debating this?: https://i.imgur.com/B63XhR9.mp4
