International Wushu Culture Exchange Conference in Beijing
August 14, 2012 (First day of competition)

The Russian Kung Fu Federation sent an amazing Sanda team that livened up the action a lot at this event. The first few matches this day were between the ladies, with the Russian fighter Tatiana Burova winning the first match that I saw and the Chinese lady the second...

The Chinese lady totally dominated in the second fight...

8/12 - Mogomed in Black shorts

Alilov Asret (left) unfortunately was injured later in the fight with a soccer kick to the face after he slipped following a break...

Izmailov Aslan on left took a couple of shots but fought brilliantly against his excellent opponent. His wrestling skills were unstoppable.

A smart MMA promoter could make a lot of money from a re-match between these awesome fighters!

Best kicks of the day? Definately Magomedaliev Raimond, from Dagastan. He was so fast I got no good shots!!!

Below are a few Taulu Competition photos...

Photographer's note: I put most of the good photos I got on these pages. But, there were others... if you want copies of your photos, just e-mail me... My e-mail address is on the contact page (far right on the menu above). Also, if you want your name on your photo and I don't have it, please write to me and let me know which picture is yours.

By the way, this is just a hobby for me, not a job. Though this is listed as a "dot com," it's not really a commercial site. It's just for fun and to help martial artists find their way around Asia and also get (free) exposure for their great talent and art.

World peace through sport? Maybe... it would be nice!
