In the Olympics Tae Kwon Do was reduced to mainly kicking since the Olympic referees rarely score for punches, and Olympic judo contains several variations you may or may not agree (see judo/jujutsu forum). Becoming an Olympic event may be prestigious, but does it do egregious harm to your martial art?
Would it be wiser for Kendo, Ju-jutsu, Kung-fu, Karate or any Eastern martial art to stay out of the Olympics?
