A full-contact taekwondo organization created by Grandmaster Doug Fuchell that aired on pay-per-view and later on ESPN2 in 1997 and 1998.

The format featured full-contact fights with no protective head or body gear, using modified Olympic-style rules (which allow axe kicks and spinning techniques to the head).

Who remembers?

A TKDer with boxing skills is one of the most dangerous striking combos.

I’m not into those floppy hands and only body punches being allowed. Who wouldn’t rather watch K1-style kickboxing?
