lol what dumb bastard agreed to putting wkf shotokan style staring matches in the olympics. if it's not there as an exhibition sport it will be made into one retroactively. and i hope the paralympic ruleset is like judo and they're blind so they can't loving shuffle away from each other for half an hour

Imagine instead of watered down karate and tkd in the olympics we had glory rules kickboxing.

it would suck. as a combat sport kickboxing has way too much of a damage output to make large scale tournaments viable, so you either have all three medal positions taken by alternates, or you have some give on the rules and end up with leg protectors, no leg kicks, big gloves, etc. in kickboxing 4 man tournaments are a dicey proposition. honestly chest punching karate would've been the best ruleset for the olympics, it's properly delineated from boxing, is viable in large tournaments, and can still produce watchable fights sometimes.

I agree with you, but also judges holding up scorecards while a guy does karate choreography is extremely my poo poo

I didn't even realize this was happening but Krush 68 last night looks like it was good. There was an exhibition match between Kaew and Takeru https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CA4cixC1wE and everyone's favorite boy won via secret kick: https://twitter.com/k1ouenakaunto/status/766950824324964354

I've seen a few episodes of that show. He flies a stunt plane, finishes a rally race and did drag races. Elba is cool and handsome and I hope he doesn't get hurt. Also that's got to be the worst where's Wallace joke I've ever seen. Tezcatlipoca fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Aug 24, 2016 |

So I got tickets to Glory 33 but I'm not sure when to show up. The event "starts" at 5:30 apparently but news about the event says this.quote:GLORY 33 will air live on ESPN2 at 11 p.m. ET, headlined by heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven (48-10-1, 12 KO) defending his strap for a record fifth time against Anderson “Braddock” Silva (40-14-1, 25 KO). I assume the 11 pm portion will have all the stuff on the main card like the featherweight tournament so how are they filling time from 5:30 to 11 pm when I only see 4 superfight series fights on the undercard? I've only been to UFC and boxing shows before which are far easier to figure out when to show up. Anyone have advice on this? I was planning on showing up at like 8.

Anyone? Anyone been to a Glory event before and know how they space things timewise? Also if you're in the tristate and on the fence this deal is a steal https://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-glory-33-kickboxing-new-jersey Sun Bank Arena is small so there wont really be a bad seat.
