Ashida Kim "koga" man to compete in MMA?

[1bad65]

Someone said that this 'tournament' he entered was by video submission. I guess in addition to buying rank online, you can now buy tournament/fighting experience too!. What will they think of next?

[Fantasy Warrior]

I think we need to verify whether he really did compete and if he is lying, confront him with it.

I think it is fairly obvious this is another tall tale. Speaking of, someone asked Ron C about the $7000 and he said it's because only 1 out of 100 wins the money. I'm no math major, but a 100-man tourny would have 50 fights IN THE FIRST ROUND alone! Is this like a week long tourny? If these guys spent half the time they spend making up these stories busting ass in the gym, they would be decent fighters and not have to lie.

What is it with all these ninja guys having beards anyway?

It's a nerd thing. Bad facial hair, dressing in black, and fake martial arts skills. Often goes hand in hand with carrying a bag of twenty-sided dice and a fat ass.

I've done the dull task of screengrabbing all his posts in that thread, lest he deletes in haste when the evidence amasses.

I'm just posting this stuff to bring all the evidence to the table. Building on other's hard work.

For Martial Artists, Instructors, Organizations ans Founders of Styles

Real level of a Combat Martial Arts skills can be evaluated only in a real fight. Any competition is not a real fight because every competition has the rules. That’s why for assessment of one’s combat martial art, level of technique, ability to concentrate, rapidity, strength and level of mastery it is important to compare oneself with oneself in earlier times and with the level of other Combat Martial Artists.

In order to provide the possibility for Combat Martial Artists’ development the ICMAUA conducts a permanent distance Combat Martial Arts Championship. This championship is considered to be a World Championship, since all members of ICMAUA, who represent over 50 countries by the time being, may participate in it.

Conditions of the Championship

The Combat Martial Arts Championship ICMAUA is conducted with the help of the distant method of evaluating the video files, video or CD sent by the participants, where they demonstrate 10 real combat techniques with a partner or without a partner, or on punchball chosen.

Participants

Any Martial Artist, any style, any level. Send us one your video at e-mail, on a separate videocassette or a CD.

Assessment criteria

The main assessment criterion is a possibility of using the demonstrated technique in a real fight. It assesses following aspects: Realism of technique; Rapidity; Equilibrium; Balance; Sharpness; Strength; Directivity of influence; Condition of one’s spirits; Look; Confidence of performance; Understanding of technique’s aim, etc. Comment: It says nothing about actually fighting

Champions

Every Champion can get the Champion Medal.

Champions’ Instructors and Style Founders

The role of instructor and Founder is of great significance in training the Combat Martial Artists. That is why, when the Champion is given the title of champion, his/her Instructor and Style Founder is awarded the title of the Combat Martial Arts Champion also. Champion’s Instructor and Founder of Style can get the Combat Martial Arts Champion Medal.

Champions’ Organizations

The work of the organization, of which the Champion is a Member, let him reveal his potential. That is why the organization where he/she is a member, is awarded a title of the Combat Martial Arts Champions Organization. The Organization can get a Medal.
