Sorry. Yes it was in Vegas and I should have known you would be there. He and Master Mun my GM were both there. I will definately make sure to look you guys up when we come down in Feb.

His traditional MA in TKD and Hapkido is just as good as his sport side. I have been on the opposite side of many take downs, joint locks and choke holds. His punches are just as hard as his kicks.
But anyone that says there is no power in sport kicking has not done it. This guy has broken many ribs in the ring, and KO'd quite a few also. But until you are on the opposite side I guess you can say what you will.
Anyway, you are quite correct in saying that two cannot be compared and need to be judged separate.

See I did not just drop my arm to simply block. I was countering his off the line or round house kick with a back kick and you guard off with the front arm when turning to execute the back kick. Most times because the back kick lands the power of the round house is lessend by the counter kick and the guarding arm does not absorb all of the blow. Needless to say he is much faster than I am even when I am at my walter weight (flex between heavy and walter), so he was able to still kick me, although guarding and break the forearm. He was just faster than me even though I timed it perfect I barley touch him with the back kick. Anyone else or my weight would have been presenting me their lunch.
Hey, folks...
Let's all try to remember the rules 'round here, huh? I'd hate to see someone get banned for a challenge post or art bashing, y'know?

? I thought we got back on the right track?
Mods have lives outside of MT. Sometimes several posts can come up before you see an action, like my nudge that I presume had you confused. Right now -- it's just a word to the wise...
Got blowed up somewhere in the first season of Ben 10...or was it the second.....

Look on youtube........ They clearly aren't a sport school but for that matter they are doing some very nice one steps! Just a difference is style. I just don't understand why if you don't do Sport tkd why you feel the need to comment on it. He is clearly teaching quality MA's so I just don't see the need. On the other hand it seems the longer you have been involved with this site and who is on your friends list the more you can get away with saying! I had to look up the word trolling..........

Firstly the mods here are fair and will look at everything, it isn't a case of who's friend you are.
People here are free on comment on any thread they wish, if you put up a post it's in the public domain.
Sport TKD has attracted a lot of interest and comment because many of us feel that because of it's position in the Olympic Games martial arts has been pushed into a spotlight which distorts it and gives the impression that the Olympic TKD style of sparring is what martial arts is about. This can impinge on our clubs, schools, businesses and our students. You may disagree with this which is fine but doing so in a civilised manner is prefable to name calling.

Miaow ?????? what? I didn't name call! i'm just doing what you just said. commenting on a thread. As far as impinging on image, not that I care about olympic sparring because I can take it or leave it, but what about the topic of lets say "uniforms" I felt that a certian uniform did just that... you had no problem with it, so why can't it be that the for the school who do WTF sparring or lets say KKW dans. It seems like most of the higher ups here are ITF people. We tend to run or side with like minded people. I have seen threads closed for far less then what I've seen it the last two.
This catty remark "On the other hand it seems the longer you have been involved with this site and who is on your friends list the more you can get away with saying"

keeping this in mind.... What is your opion on lets say "UFC" you can't tell me that that stuff is doing wonders for the clubs, schools , students and parents. I am the image of my school. I am the reason people come and go. Most students don't give a rats butt about the Olympics and sparring. I think if your loosing students because of the image that Steven Lopez or others are giving, I will bet you have more things wrong with your school, club, etc. then you are willing to admit. And as far as that goes, with all the problems that Pro sports players have...... You must be surprised that anyone is still playing Basketball or football.

So..... you only play nice when it benfits you. You have been talking S@#% ever since I started posting here and probably a long time before that. So to take advise from you! Well, thanks, but no thanks.... People here aren't stupid. They have read things that I have posted. If they feel I should be banned then do it. But when someone like you said the things you say, well... I have seen you crap on youtube..... And I"M NOT IMPRESSED! unlike you I am the real deal!
