‘Virtual Tae Kwon Do’ Is Very, Very Strange
The sport for if you like punching and kicking people, but don’t like *actually* punching and kicking people.

There’s one problem with fighting sports: You have to actually fight! In any fight, there’s always a ceiling on how hard you can go, as going above that will 1) risk killing the person you’re fighting; and 2) make it so that person can’t fight again.
But what if you didn’t have to think about that? Allow me to introduce to you “virtual tae kwon do.” This is a “sport” that allows you to use all of your knowledge of the fighting style to defeat your enemy — virtually.
That’s right: You’re not actually kicking them, you’re just kicking the air “pretending” that you’ve kicked them.
Personally, I don’t think this will be replacing UFC anytime soon.
