Bare knuckle Boxing anyone?
Bare knuckle boxer Olga Gurova isn't bothered by boxing - YouTube / RT Sport (left); YouTube / Top Dog Fight Club (inset); Instagram / Olga Gurova (right)
On thing I have to report about RT.com is they regularly cover MMA and other hard-hitting sports here in the eastern hemisphere. This story caught my eye. Not the wildest by far, but hard hitting for sure.

“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 Songshan Shaolin.
Probably doesn't need one, made of brass as he is. Still, some sage advice.
After watching some of Salikhov's fights (see below) this site's editor decided it was time for more Spring Training!
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. 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! 
Opening Ceremony, Asparas, Taolu, scoring criteria, some of the greats and Sanda action!

CHINESE MMA Making Progress!
Five ft. four straw-weight fighter Zhang Weili is still the most amazing MMA fighter coming out of China, but she's not alone anyone. Recent wins by Li Jingliang and Su “the Tibetan Eagle” Mudaerji have launched a couple more Chinese into MMA stardom.
See: https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1006738/china-revels-in-mma-wins-by-fighters-not-named-zhang-weili By Kenrick Davis, Jan 22, 2021 
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. 
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.
I was honored and delighted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday (October 1 and 2) with Master Fu Biao and some of his close associates at a splendid resort outside Beijing.
During that time I learned more about him, like for example he's an excellent horseman, can bounce around on a trampoline like a professional gymnast, has memorized huge amounts of classic Chinese poetry, can give dramatic "readings" of that poetry from memory, and is an all around great guy with a sense of humor and caring disposition!
More recently I took a trip to North Shaolin with some of his people and their children which was really delightful on a sunny autumn day. So, I'll just take this chance to say "Thank You Sir!" to Grandmaster Fu Biao and his excellent staff here in Beautiful Beijing!
