televised events are the worst thing that ever happened to martial arts. Made it a sport, a joke and spectacle. In general televised fighting is a joke, heavyweight fighting is dead to me from a art form stance, it is though very much alive to me on the business side haha.

I never have and never will train in any school that does exhibition though, I don't even believe in belt tests, if a sefu or sensai can not respect that then I don't need to train there.

BTW. often the little 90 year old kung fu man does not appear in events, the "rules" stop a lot of people from being able to fight in these events, true martial arts are for killing, their techniques are for killing, their origins and grand masters are in killing and train other to kill, not for scoring points or getting knock outs......
