- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- You know what's good about that too?
If you're ever in a real altercation,
you're used to people resisting 100%.
- Oh.
- 'Cause like if you're like a karate guy
and you're just like point touching each other.
- Yeah.
- Did you see that karate thing in the Olympics?
- I was about to bring it up, it was unbelievable.
- The guy loses by not, he wins, but he loses.
- How do you feel proud?
- How do you feel proud?
You get knocked out in the gold medal matchup
and you win the gold and the other guy's disqualified?
- He's disqualified for hitting you too hard.
- And here's the thing that was fucked up.
It was like, it's not like he was standing there.
He kind of leaned in to the kick.
Like he bent over and the dude caught him.
So it's kind of on you a little bit too.
- Yeah, let's watch it.
Let's watch it 'cause it's so dumb.
And I didn't, a friend of mine sent that to me and-
- Look at this.
- Here it is.
- Look at this, look, he bends over.
- Yeah.
- And to be honest, it's a counter.
The guy throws a straight left.
He counters with the kick, catches him.
- Hit him perfect.
- And then he's just fake sleeping.
Get out of here, dude.
- He's sleeping.
- Oh, he thought he won too, poor guy.
- Well, he should've won in a real world scenario
in any other rational sport that's a combat sport, he won.
- That's the problem with like Olympic combat sports
is they try to take the violence out of it.
- But what doesn't make any sense
is you could win by knockout in Taekwondo.
- Oh, I didn't know that-
- And it's in the same thing.
- Oh.
- It's in the Olympics too.
Like why-
- Why this specifically?
- Why, what is the difference?
Why do you have karate and Taekwondo?
- Yeah.
- Like the only difference is you're allowed
to punch in the face in this and is it point karate?
Is that what it is?
- I heard it was kumite, I don't know.
I don't know though.
- Kumite is the Japanese word for sparring.
- Okay, so yeah, that doesn't make sense.
I just heard someone saying it while I was watching it.
- I think that's the word for sparring.
I think that's what it means.
- I mean, they got all the different types of swimming,
so I guess you're gonna have all the different types
of martial arts, you know?
You gotta do things to stack the medals, right?
Like if you're good at some shit,
like America, we're good at running,
so we're just gonna, okay, 400-
- 75 kilogram kumite final.
- Yeah, so dumb.
- Yeah.
- Mm.
- Ridiculous.
Oh, so they have individual demonstrations like kata,
and then they have one-on-one kumite.
- That's the most ridiculous one.
And I'm not trying to shit on this guy,
he'd probably kick my ass.
But the guy won a gold medal for dancing.
- Getting KO'd, oh yeah, for the kata.
- For the kata.
But it was just choreography.
- Well, you can win for gymnastics.
- Yeah, but gymnastics isn't a fight.
Like I see martial arts as fighting, right?
Like in order to be good at it,
you have to be able to do that shit on someone.
- The kata thing is like you would have to learn those
to get your belts.
Like you'd have a kata for one specific one
that you had for blue belt,
a specific one you had for green belt.
- I remember when I did taekwondo as a kid,
we had that to learn all that.
- Yeah, I hated those.
- What, the taekwondo?
- This stuff.
- Yeah.
- The forms.
Poomsae.
- America won the gold medal.
- Here it is.
- He won the first ever karate medal in men's kata.
The first ever for America,
or the first ever time they handed it out?
- America's first ever.
- Oh my God, this is so ridiculous.
- Look at his face.
- The intensity.
- He's so serious.
- Yeah.
- The thing is like,
it's not a bad thing to practice movement.
Like it's almost like kind of like a form of yoga in a way.
Like you're practicing moving your body.
And if you get really good at doing those katas,
it'll probably enhance your ability to move,
which will enhance your ability to spar.
- But you're not giving anybody a medal for shadow boxing.
- Good fucking point.
- That'd be ridiculous.
- Good fucking point.
- And imagine you were walking around.
I'm a boxing gold medalist.
- A gold medal for shadow boxing.
Or hitting the Cobra bag, you know?
- That's it.
A bag work gold medal.
- A bag work gold medal would be better than this.
- Because we could at least see something land.
- This is air kicks.
- Yeah.
- Like you know?
- This poor guy just got back to America with his gold medal
and we're just trashin' him.
- This is the guy who,
they were going against each other though.
- Oh, and this guy won.
- How do you do that?
- They judge it.
They judge the karate.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- The kata rather.
Yeah, we used to have those in tournaments.
In Taekwondo tournaments,
they would have the kata version or the,
I forget what they called it.
I think it's called poomsae, they call it Korean.
And then they would have the sparring part.
And you'd have to wait around
while these dummies threw fucking air kicks and shit.
- Air kicks, yeah, yeah.
