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. Most 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!

If you're looking for Muay Thai and MMA fight news in Asia, the most frequently updated site I could find is sponsored by the Phuket Fight Club.
Their news site is Siam Fight News
Meanwhile, in China, the International Wushu Federation keeps moving forward...

International Kung Fu Federation (IKFF)
I first met some of the IKFF people in 2012 and published an article in the Print Edition of Kung Fu magazine:
New Star in the Universe of International Wushu Competitions (Print Edition)
It was a huge and amazing competition with teams from all over the world. And it got bigger and better every year. For the past several years those competitions and Culture Exchange Conferences have been held in various IKFF nations and so this fine tradition is growing worldwide.

It was a huge and amazing competition with teams from all over the world. And it got bigger and better every year. For the past several years those competitions and Culture Exchange Conferences have been held in various IKFF nations and so this fine tradition is growing worldwide.
The chairman of IKFF is Grandmaster Fu Biao, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations and Vice Chairman of the Chinese Wu Shu Association. He also founded a very large international school in Beijing called: Beijing Shaolin Wushu School that teaches K-12 students and adults, as well as other schools around China, in Thailand and the USA. On top of that he's a master calligrapher having won international acclaim for some of his works.
Beijing Shaolin Wushu School was featured in the 2010 movie The Karate Kid, (called The Kung Fu Dream in China) starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith.

Do your friends threaten to call the "fashion police" on you? If so, this is the place to start remolding your public image. http://chinafashion.weebly.com/ This is an old site I haven't had time to keep up. In South Korea at Nonsan University I taught English in the Fashion Design program for years and do find fashion an interesting art! But alas, the demands of the world are many. A pity I don't have a few clones to help. |
