Backing up for a second to the previous post on Olympic martial arts.I researched it and found that the Martial Arts currently in the Olympic Games: Archery, Boxing, Fencing, Judo, TaeKwonDo, & Wrestling. The Olympic committee also officially recognises the following Martial Arts as International sports but they are not yet part of the Olympic games: Karate & Wushu. Note the lack of any recognition of MMA. I would expect that this is a 25 year process to get accepted.
BlueWave from the Convocation of Martial Artists explains why there should be significant coverage of TaeKwonDo here in the States and cites the http://www.usa-taekwondo.us/ site as the best ongoing source. I just went there and I can see why our taekwondo team will get alot of coverage. Our team seems to have two brothers and a sister on the same team. And Charlotte Craig! What a story. Plus they're very, ahem, photogenic.
