Which is just the same but in an El Reg T-Shirt.

The world may rest peacefully. Chuck is available with a simple phone call to kick a$$ anywhere in the world. ITF, WTF, who cares? Chuck-sake rules them all!

and beat the living shit out of each other in the ring without getting political about it?

..if the Korean I learned during my years of TKD was actually so we could report back to our masters. I'll be disappointed if it turns out I can't count to 7 in Korean, or say jumping reverse turning kick (my fave).

I hope the assassins didn't fight like the ones in the Olympics, because while that might be a sport, it certainly didn't look like any martial art. No guard, funny armless body-checking, points fighting, the fact that it was full-contact doesn't change the reality that if you wanted to fight one, the winning strategy is staring you in the face.

"Following Choi senior's death in 2002, the ITF splintered into three rival groups, two in Austria and the third in Canada."
Perhaps they should meet up somewhere and have a big fight to sort out their differences. With a TV crew. And an audience.

That was taekwondo on the olympics? thought it was the Irish dancing team kicking off.

It's the Japanese Origami and Bonsai groups you really need to keep an eye on!

Ten,
One to change the bulb and nine to say, "In my style, we do it different."
And with that I'm calling the Chuckster. I'm sure I'm now on some TKD assassin's hit list.

Can I be the first to ask how this relates to IT?
No? Allright then.

He must be in his sixties now, I know he is older than me and I'm 57. Whilst I'm sure a smack in the gob from chuck will probably make your dentist happy I somehow doubt that he is up to scratch against some of the youngsters around. As for TKD it's a joke, there are a couple of FHB guys in Kent who would knock seven bells out of them. FHB? Fuckin Hard Bastards!

LOL and also the back - AFAIK they don't train/compete with strikes there either... and that is without even getting into the numerous sweeping opportunities.... totally a sport.

Mr. Norris is currently 68. However, don't assume that means he's feeble...

A former co-worker was at a dinner table with Mr. Norris within the past decade and witnessed him kicking a drunk in the head--while seated. (The drunk slapped him in the back of the head first.)
_Never_ assume a martial arts expert isn't capable just because he/she looks old.

...at least that's the general idea, isn't it?
I bet the assassin's used long range rifles, who needs martial arts when you're tooled up?
