Great Tae Kwon Do Match

I came across a good match, displaying the incredible kicking skills of Tae Kwon Do. This style of competition require 3x2 rounds. TKD is often criticized by other martial artists because the athletes drop their hands and bounce around. The relaxed movement of the athlete is used to create kicking opportunities. It is not as easy as it looks and requires great endurance. Anyway, check out this match between Aaron Cook and Sebastien Crismanich at the Dutch Open. Look for the head kick in round 3. Great fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_plI6e4nLE&feature=related

Neil Adams

Neil Adams is one of the most well rounded Judo players ever. His abilities in standing and ground work are truly incredible. He was known for his juji gatame (arm bar) and had an awesome tai otoshi (body drop throw). Check him out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvnQZJyBQO4

Military and Cops Martial Arts

Hand to Hand training for military and law enforcement is extremely important. In the U.S. it has not as intense as it is in other countries. In Korea and Japan, police have to train in martial arts. In many countries, soldiers and cops have to have attain blackbelt status in some martial art. Here's how military and police forces of other countries get down in hand to hand combat training. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdhLqbps9ss&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdxQ-smknJY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AWszhdSnys&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL4JORAfC4Q&feature=related

Mr. Perfect (2 of 'em)

Ernesto Hoost was K-1 Kickboxing's "Mr. Perfect". Hoost was 4x K-1 Grand Prix Champion and was known for his devastating left hook and crushing low kicks. I must say that in my opinion MMA's Mr. Perfect is Anderson Silva. He is the longest running UFC Champion. And now his stats exceed previous UFC Champions.
