Damn, they removed the video. The story sounds pretty nuts though. Just goes to show you that there are very few real martial artists these days. It's
unfortunate.
Edit: This one still works (for now). Get it while you can!

Yep, I saw this match live and couldn't believe my eyes. The cuban just snapped. The tae kwon do contests seem to be unfair as alot of hits are not scoring points. They need to introduce electronic body armour or else the sport is going downhill. It depends more on luck at the moment because if judges dont see the hit ( 1 in 3 hits are spotted) they dont give the point. |

Honestly, Olympic level Taekwondo is a massive farse. The scoring and judging are almost always shit and the way the rules work leads the fighters to fight
boring shitty and uncompetitive contests.
At this level of competitiion the Cuban and his coach should have known the rules for injury timeouts. Regardless of this, they should understand that the referee has no ability to bend the rules. He simply must call it 100% by the rules. And what a weak ass fucking kick to the ref. This fucking idiot is getting a life time ban for basically brushing his foot with that weak ass kick across the ref's face. Stupid little baby... stupid, stupid little baby. |

Just goes to show Taekwondo people know fuck all about fighting, obviously it's wrong to attack the ref but if you are going to attack someone, throw a
punch instead or something that would work.
Also I really don't understand the rules, are you not allowed to keep your guard up??? coz none of them do. I assumed they weren't allowed to punch but a few of them have thrown the odd few punches??? I just don't get it. And whats with all the screaming??? keep fighting till the ref says stop! Anyway it might sound like I hate Taekwondo, I don't, I think its fantastic for kicks, fitness and athleticism its just not practical in a fight. Obviously for the movies its the one of the best for kicks but not for the street. Bring Thai Boxing to the olympics or K1

If the cuban really wanted to show how pissed he was, he should have thrown a back kick cos that would have surely sorted the ref out. Def some internal damage their. |

That was so funny, i really did not see that coming! To be honest i really though the taekwondo wasn't as good as i though it would be, the scoring system
is stupid, they should of had wushu!!!Apparently they said it's not mainstream enough!? then a good time to introduce it to the world would have been at
beijing olympics, but anyways yeh that dude really got pissed of! Aaprt from Micheal Phelps getting 8 golds and Nadal winning the tennis this was one of the
best moments in the olympics.
