Modern Olympic martial arts is a clear betrayal to the legacy of Pankration. If they're so afraid of the contestants hurting each other, they might as well just play Virtua Fighter.

Olympic fencing is gay as fuck though, because they use machines for everything and there's zero force. It's a game of tag with blunted metal pointers.
I swear nothing is more disappointing than watching your first Olympic fencing match.
Imagine if they did like actual swashbuckling.
Or better yet: Imagine if they ditched this gay fencing and gave us longsword duels.

MMA revealed which martial arts are worth a shit, kickboxing, boxing, judo, Jujitsu, wrestling and one or two more I can't remember on the top of my head.
But the one superior to them all is Aikido. Fortunately for everyone else, true Aikido masters are too spiritual and enlightened to compete in such brutish games.

Is anyone actually watching it this year? I see no coverage, just politically charged tweets for echo-chamber readers.
I literally only want to see if Miku-chan shows up during the opening ceremony.
Or some tokushit. Really anything I am
actually interested in.
(Might also check out dem gymnasts, of course.)
