After watching some of Salikhov's fights (see below) I decided it was time for more Spring Training!
“Sanda King” Muslim Salikhov
Salikhov：Russia’s Legendary 5-Time Sanda World Champion，Becomes Global MMA Hero (From IWUF)
2020.04.07 Wushu’s legendary “Sanda King” Muslim Salikhov reigned as Russia’s top sanda fighter for well over a decade, and he remains one of the sport’s most highly respected and beloved athletes. He won a record-breaking five gold medals in the World Wushu Championships during his amateur fighting career spanning 2003-2015. His odyssey from his native land, the Republic of Dagestan in southern Russia, to China, Thailand and ultimately the global world of MMA, has helped make him a top ambassador of sanda. Currently Salikhov is signed to the UFC where he fights in the welterweight division, and never forgetting his roots, he now brings his classic sanda techniques to millions of viewers worldwide. http://www.iwuf.org/2020/04/07/sanda-king-muslim-salikhov/ 
Thanks to the wonders of MS Paint I managed to get a mask to the Medicine Buddha at Shaolin.
Probably doesn't need one, made of brass as he is. Still, some sage advice.
My most recent publication in Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine is about the battle against COVID-19 here in Beijing.
www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1540 For a country-by-country count of the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) see:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries & https://www.statista.com/statistics/1105914/coronavirus-death-rates-worldwide/ Sites are updated frequently. April 3rd 2020 the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide topped one million. Science, and the Immune System
There is no cure for COVID-19. However, there are ways people can strengthen the immune system. However, since these simple things don't enrich Big Pharma, they are not getting the media attention they deserve. The UV light in sunshine incidentally also reliably kills COVID-19 and other viruses and bacteria. I'm almost finished writing an article with summaries of the scientific research on that.
A new war has started. This is something all humans have in common.
This site's editor lives in Beijing and dealing with COVID-19 is like fighting a war. I appreciate the fact the government here is fighting this battle valiantly, doing its very best to prevent the spread of this disease. Vaccines may be available in some countries, but this disease is spreading world-wide at an incredible speed. All sports activities are being cancelled. Most schools here are closed. How to deal with this? Be healthy! Moderate exercise stimulates the immune system. Get enough sleep. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and stay positive! United We Stand. Divided... well things don't work out so well for anyone. Ya feel me?
Silk Road Kung Fu Friendship Tour - Video!
Below is this editor's first attempt at making a slide-show/video. This version is in Chinese. but the photos tell the story. Hopefully I'll have time to make an English language version soon. 
Read the stories...
http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1537 http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1539 Many thanks to Sam Lau in Hong Kong, and Gene Ching at Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine in California for making it all happen. |
Congratulations to Zhang Weili!
WOW!
Anyone who saw Zhang Weili's March 7th fight in Las Vegas with Joanna Jedrzejczyk has to acknowledge that was one hard fought, highly skilled match. Both put their hearts and souls into winning and didn't back up an inch. Both were well trained and scientific fighters. Congratulations to both, and especially Mrs. Zhang. She had to endure some rude treatment before the fight, and yet went on to win with grace, tenacity and equanimity. How much of that animosity was typical "pre-fight hype" to "up the ante" and improve the ratings we'll never know. In any case that was one of the greatest fights of all time and an inspiration teaching all of us to never give up.
The new dark ages and shadow regulation
Martial arts come in many forms. For some they are about kill or be killed. The big fish eat the little fish and so on. For others martial arts represents a world-wide family of people devoted to mastery of arts that promote health and transcendence, self-defense and a code of honor.
History goes through cycles and the one constant is change. At this time humanity appears to be at low tide. The haters and killers are doing rather well and it appears a new dark ages are settling across the earth. Shadow regulation is a way a very small group of mostly very super-rich people can control what content is seen on the internet. https://www.eff.org/issues/shadow-regulation https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/shadow-regulation-back-room-threat-digital-rights 
This site's stats 2018
In about May or June 2019 visits to all my internet sites dropped hugely. Pretty strange really.
Tsk. Tsk. The politics of prejudice should not dictate the content of arts, sciences, sports or the internet. People are people. There are good and bad in every group.
For more on this subject, read:
The “Transfer of Savagery” “Presidential Power and National Violence: James K. Polk's Rhetorical Transfer of Savagery Rhetoric & Public Affairs, Vol. 19, Number 3, Fall 2016, pp. 365-396 (Can be downloaded from JSTOR and Academia.edu) And, keep training, keep smiling, be happy and share with friends. Things go in cycles. There is always hope.

At the bottom of the Contact page of this site is a list of my favorite "alternative news media" sites. Reading just a few of them can double your IQ overnight!
Is asking for donations to keep an online news media going unusual? Almost all the alternative news sites are all supported by donations. So, this is not unusual, it's actually the industry standard. Does that matter? Not really. Dare to be different!

Best MMA Training in Qatar?Gotta say thanks to the great guys at The Cage Sport on Salwa Road, Ain Khalid Area. They have an excellent scene there with boxing, kickboxing, jujitsu, and taekwondo. Cool atmosphere with a ring, bags and top coaches.
If you're curious about Kung Fu in Kabul - They've got a lively scene there! This is a series I researched and wrote in the spring of 2015. 阿富汗喀布尔
http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1213 http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1214 http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1219 http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1223 And as always, many thanks to Gene Ching, editor of Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine in the U.S. Though I didn't know it at the time, my visit to Kabul's Masters of Kung Fu was the precursor for my entire Silk Road martial art tour series. Such great martial artists! Profound thanks to all. |

There are over 40 countries along the land and Maritime Silk Road. To quote the UNESCO Site:
"The Silk Road enriched the countries it passed through, transporting cultures, religions, languages and of course material goods into societies across Europe, Asia and Africa, and uniting them all with a common thread of cultural heritage and plural identities."
http://en.unesco.org/silkroad/countries-alongside-silk-road-routes
It seems to me this ol' world could use a LOT more uniting, and I'm happy to help in my own small way as long as I get a good Kung Fu/Wushu and Taekwondo workout now and then, and heck, I rather enjoy swimming, biking and running too.
In fact, I'd like to see a trans-national Silk Road Triathlon one day, and even greater cooperation between all these marvelous countries. Gotta say I've never met friendlier people.

I read of lot of books about the Silk Roads and highly recommend this new book. Excellently researched and written. It's an "eye-opener."
