Point is, if you find a dojo that teaches full contact variants, you might as well just take kickboxing instead.

Thing is, a lot of places that teach full contact karate will also teach kickboxing and mma brazil wrasslin.

Olympic fencing just makes me laugh, because imagine if the swords were sharp. Both competitors would be fucking dead!

Some weird academic student corporations in Poland and Germany still carry out sabre fights like in the 17th century. The fight usually ends when there is a hit to the face, that's why some old European noblemen like Tycho Brahe would run around with primitive nose prosthetics. Fencing with epees fell out of use in the early 19th century because too many would get their lungs punctured and die.

When I did fencing as a child, I always wanted to do the epee. I got to use a saber once though

I have followed the live stream of the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games, just so you didn't have to

The GoodShow

That Japanese commentator guy had like the sexiest bishounen voice I have ever heard. I wish he'd never stop talking.

Is it like Olympic law to remind everyone of that time in Munich when the Isreali team fell victim to a peaceful protest? No idea really, but I like being reminded that Muslims are evil.

The long-ass march of the athletes is easily the best that ever was and ever will be. They played video game music.
The Dragon Quest Theme.
The Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare.
The Monster Hunter Theme.
Fucking Robo's Theme.

All without explanation of course, so only the chosen ones like myself got it, whereas the dirty normies will forever wonder why they played what sounded like Never Gonna Give You Up.

The BadShow

WTF is up with the outfits of the German team?
Sure, our outfits have always sucked, usually because it's usually some kind of random rainbow vomit. I guess this was considered too queer in Current Year, so instead they went with the ugliest green tone they could find.
And why on Earth did the outfit for the female athletes include a skirt instead of pants? What is this, 2021 or 1821? JFC.

And why did so many teams insist on having two athletes hold the flag? Sure, it was probably for muh gender equality, but it's just too awkward waving such a flag around with another bloke.
Never mind that this is a clear violation of Covid safety distance guidelines.
Never mind that you could clearly see that most of the female athletes only pretended to hold the flag while the dude was doing all the work.

This sport was also prone to facial scarring, which is just one of the reason why scars on dudes are considered sexy.

Also those "weird academic student corporations" are the Anti-Christ for leftist students because they're considered too fascist.
They're mostly just autistic otaku, though.

It's more to remind people that Jews were killed, and also that Germans were incompetent. In other words, it was their fault. Sort of like another incident involving Jews and Germans that often gets brought up

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Oh please, those ones in Munich are just a drop in the water compared to the ones who sadly perished in the Third Reich Reeducation Facilities (tm).

Yes but they were Jews and every Jewish death is a tragedy, according to the Jews media.

In any case it was pretty dumb of the German police not to have any trained marksmen or dedicated sniper rifles. I mean, when you're operating at night and you've only got iron sights to aim down it was pretty obvious what was going to happen. Then again, we did get the WA2000 and PSG-1 out of it and some Jews died. So all in all, good incident.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

We only got the GSG 9 after (and in fact because of) this incident. Prior to that nobody bothered with a SWAT-equivalent because it was never required before (and we prefer to be reactive instead of proactive, so we can waste tax money somewhere else).
