Bill the six martial arts enthusiasts for the rescue or name and shame them into a very large donation to the mountain rescue team.

They were kickboxers. (not real martial arts)

I read that as knickerbockers first time round, perhaps more appropriate

No real martial artist would behave so despicably.

They were probably some chop-suey style wannabes who had spent 6 months swinging handbags at each other under the guise of a made-up style of kickboxing...

May be a coincidence, but could this be them?

Well found!

Incidentally, the number of spelling and grammatical errors in that webpage is startlingly bad. Or, in their words, the amount of them

Hilarious web page. 

The bloke at top left has clearly got a black belt in pie-eating.  What's his killer move - sitting on you or taking your head off with a spinning Ginster's pasty like Oddjob in Goldfinger?

As I suspected, "Deadly Dicker" (or should that be dick-head) Hopkins "created Hop Kuin-Do" so it's just another made-up chop-suey style.

I trained in Lau Gar kung fu (it's not called "Shaolin Lau-Gar kung fu" BTW) for over 5 years and I vaguely remember this guy - bit full of himself and not that proficient, as I recall.

I love the line "Wheelchair bound people have to go through a different type of day!"  This guy has all the tact of David Brent but he's right - the poor sod on Snowdon certainly had a different type of day

You cannot harm me for my stomach is like a wall of flab......lots of swishy whooshing noises!!

My favorite thing is the fact it's 22 notes return on the train but 16 notes just to get down.

Sureley they could have just taken the brakes off and given him a 'nudge' in the right direction.

I guess they had to get to the top in order to stuff their faces with pies in the summit cafe, and they were so exhausted from this stuffing that they were unable to carry the guy down.

Joking aside, it's a bloody disgrace*, and I hope they get their deserved panning from the martial arts community.

Other thread

* assuming it's been reported accurately...

Lorraine - the group was from Coventry - so possibly not the same set

John,

I believe that it is the same group.  

At first, I thought that the website I linked to was the Cheltenham group of the WUMA, but if you have a look at the footer on the site you will see that it says that the WUMA World Governing Body Headquarters is based at Cheltenham.   

So my understanding is that the site is actually the main site for all the WUMA clubs, and that they organised the event for all the clubs to get involved in.
