dont you believe it ! You would be amazed at how many ppl miss the 80's-90's "American Ninja" days , man . Ppl within our hobby forget how truly small a hobby it really is . MOST ppl DONT do MA . PERIOD , and MOST of the ones that DO do MA DONT do MMA . Thats just the way of it . most ppl are in TKD Dojangs somewhere , and this is Right up their Alley .
But in the end I think it will support the MMA of the future , because this will lead the TKDers and the Ke(N/M)poka and the "American Karateka" (perhaps even XMAers ?) to the place where their Systems will be tested against true Resistance like Muay Thai , Boxing , Savate , KK , and San SHou rules events do , and turn them into Viable Standup systems for MMA , thus adding more viable stylistic variables to the pool of MMA supportive arts !
So heres HOPING that its going to last , damnit !
