Read up folks. Ken Hayashi must be happy with himself.

I know he isn't directly responsible for this latest set back in having MMA coming to Toronto, but I have zero doubt that he was behind the scenes making sure his precious Dojos wouldn't go out of business.

For the uninitiated, Ken Hayashi is Ontario's Athletic Commisioner and is the owner of several Dojos in Toronto. He feels threatened by the growth of MMA, and that his businesses will falter.

Too bad the short sighted mother fucker doesn't realize that it will help his business as MMA helps to promote the Tradional Martial Arts.

Adding further insult is that it sights chokes and other techniques that they deem to be too dangerous. Funny thing is that those chokes come from Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and many other TMAs, yet you can open up a school that teaches all those techniques without a problem.

If this isn't the right forum I apologize, but none of the others seemed to fit the bill and this isn't Wasteland material.

Rant away my fellow Sherdoggers.
