You can't be sued for telling the truth!

Don't you guys go picking on Aaron! I saw him on television on the Olympics about less said the better. However I've decided to lure him away to MMA :)

I know nothing about your procedures for picking the team but at some point a team will always have to change as competitors get too old to compete properly so it's always worth doing your best and not giving up, for your own pride if nothing else.

Nice argument btw

I greatly admire Aaron Cook. I had the opportunity to talk to Aaron while waiting with Vlad @ the Medals Ceremony @ the US Open This kid is the cream of the light/welter division. He fights @ many of the international opens unlike Mark or Steven. Steven is going to have a very hard time beating him! TJ Curry has almost the identical style and he almost beat Steven this weekend. This Olympics is going to be a big test of Steven's resolve and determination.

Aarons on Facebook if you want to catch up with him, it's a public bit not a private one.

When I said don't pick on Aaron I wasn't entirely joking you know.

You know what they say about those that criticise, it's that they can't do it themselves. Are you a member of your country's Olympic team? Do you coach your country's team, if not I really suggest an end to snide posting, it just looks like sour grapes mate.
I don't suppose you are the parent of a hopeful who's been passed over for selection?

It's no secret to the guys here I don't actually like Olympic TKD, to me it's akin to Riverdance but for you to waltz on here upsetting the good people who do like it and whose family, students etc work so hard to get somewhere in their chosen activity is hardly the actions of someone who has Olympic TKDs interests at heart, it's the actions of someone who just want to upset and be argumentative.

This thread which I read with interest has been moved, and had warnings and yet still you bring out the sarky little remarks. I really think it would be in the best interest if no one actually took any notice of you after this. Sorry but unless you can, as many of our mothers used to say, say something nice or postive I wouldn't say anything at all.

Be nice to Tex...afterall he was born with unlimited knowledge of TKD that is why he knew better than his former master and knows better than those of us who have been involved in it longer than he has been on this earth. You leave him be!!!:uhyeah:

Don't be ridiculous. Falling down the way Aaron Cook does is nothing new. Seems everyone these days forgets that in the 90s, up until it was banned in 2001/2002, falling down while kicking was just the thing to do. It won world championships. People back then criticized it the same way the Steven Lopez leg block is criticized today. Though at least Lopez could stay on his d*** feet. Though I personally think the leg block is a much more legitimate technique than falling down.

So long as everyone thinks it is legit to criticize Lopez leg block, and call it cheating and unfair and all that, I think it is entirely legit to criticize Cook for falling down every few kicks. Aaron Cook is just fortunate that he is competing at a time where falling down isn't prominent, so the refs seem to forget that officially none of the points he receives should be awarded if he falls down while kicking.

TEZ you must remeber that TEX has a voice and we cannot stop people from there opinions about anybody,(Wait Tex I mean your correct views as always because you are the sole hier to the thrown of TKD in the world) please forgive me for my ignorance. Anyway TEZ let Tex alone he is always right Aaron does not know anything he was lucky when he knocked Steven out, by the way has luck played in alot of knockouts of course so.

If you are going to dismiss everything I have said, at least read this one

If everyone here is going to be critical of the arguments I present, and call me out for being disrespectful or anything, I point you back to this thread discussing Olympic trials 2008

http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61969&highlight=lopez

Chtis just let Mark win plain and simple, this young man gave up a chance of a lifetime for his buddy and coach.

This is the most ignorant ********** thing I have ever read. You dont have a clue what you are talking about.

to me that's not fighting or even sparring..

lol

What's with the arms down by the side though? No guard?

You know what they say about those that criticise, it's that they can't do it themselves

Nia won the match 2-0. If the refereee's would gave penalty points for falling and avoiding the fight Nia wins 3-0.

Yet Aaron Cook is a genius when he falls down. I see how this works. Anything is fair game so long as one of the Lopez's doesn't get too good at it.

Diana Lopez falls: Terry thinks she should get penalized
Aaron Cook falls: Terry think Cook is a brilliant fighter, employing top level strategy

Amazing

Are you going to address any of the points i have made on this page today?

Why should I? You haven't addressed any questions that I or Terry have asked of you. I have already pointed out flaws in your logic. Start addressing the questions and points previously first and maybe...if you're lucky...I will chime in on new stuff you add.

What questions are these? Just tell me the thread and post number, and I will be happy to answer whatever you brought up.

A simple search leads back to plenty of people criticizing Cook for the same stuff I criticize him for now. Yet back then none of these people took any heat. Most of you guys were even in agreement.

the other guy had both feet off the floor, no base at all, nothing to push against, and wasnt even trying to throw an actual kick, and lopez got zoinked out.

if he got knocked out by that off balance, ACCIDENTAL no focus BS, he deserved it.

Ah, he bites!!


Of course I can't do Olympic TKD silly boy, I'm too old to be getting my leg over oops I mean up that high! I do a mean Muay Thai kick to the bollocks though that'll make your eyes water.

I did say I've no time for Olympic TKD if you want to read my post again, but if the boys and girls want to waste their time doing it rather than the hugely sexy sport of MMA ( or the even better style of Wado Ryu karate) and end up representing their countries at the Olympics etc then good on them! I might not like what they do but it's hugely skilful, they are very dedicated and work hard. A good example to youth and even their elders sometimes.

It's one thing me being an outsider as it were, passing comments on Olympic TKD but it seems wrong that someone who's supposed to be a supporter manages to make so many snide remarks about it.

I don't suppose you want to make all your comments just on the one post or are you trying to get more money to play in the casino, Just say, old boy, you can have mine. Acutally anyone can just PM me. As you can see I have $23,731 so far. I just like playing the bashing small furry animals on the head games.

Personally I like young men who fall down, preferably at my feet, it shows a fine sense of my importance in this world. Young women can fall down as well but I'd leave them on the floor, the young men I'd feel I had to join on the floor. Bear with me, chaps this is no more nonsense than the post 'I know more than you'.:ultracool


Now the thing is my first language is English, proper English English, when we say fall we mean it was accidental, not the fallees fault, an accident. When we say dropped we mean they were KO'd, when we say threw himself to the floor that's a deliberate action so what are we talling about here? That Aaron throws himself to the floor to gain sympathy? He really is a frustrated MMA fighter and wants to go to the ground? What exactly? The only time I'm seen people throw themselves to the ground in any type of fight or comp is when they were pretending to have received a low blow.


Btw, you don't know more than me at all. You don't even know what my favourite perfume is or whether I prefer roses to freesias. Still I expect you enjoy posting here trying to betlittle everyone so crack on son whatever makes your willy grow hard.

Perhaps because they post without claiming they know everything and are always right?
