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!

During the past couple of months this site's editor - the intrepid Silk Road Kung Fu Friendship Tour traveler has complied the series of articles published in http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ into books. They are available on www.amazon.com

Likewise, this editor has compiled the series of articles published in Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine into another book, also available on www.amazon.com
Congratulations to Zhang Weili!
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.
And, keep training, keep smiling, be happy and share with friends. Things go in cycles. There is always hope.

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

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.
