What, like setting up multiple governing world and UK bodies, who all need payment for sanctioning the award of belts and using their copyright logos?

Or of going underground during a military occupation and then being tought to terrorists/freedom fighters who used it to assassinate military figures within the occupiers.

Or of being the subject of intense lobbying so that it is included as a new sport in an Olympic Games being held in Korea - thus guaranteeing the hosts a decent number of medals?

Hmmn.

Seriously? Tae Kwon Do? On a boxing forum? ... Talk about barking up the wrong tree...

I hope Lyle sees this thread

And he's trying to imitate Mick with those sunglasses...Get the fuck outta here!

I was about to make some kind of CutmeMick related joke but I guess the moment's gone.
