It's my martial arts world

[Drunk Monk]

A long time ago, a local Tai Chi master started working for Tiger Claw. After a short stint, he broke off to form his own company through playing politics with the US NGB, has risen to the biggest competitor in the Chinese martial arts market - https://www.kungfudirect.com

Recently, that proprietor shared some students and an instructor with another local Wushu master. He inevitably stole those students and that instructor, but not before that Wushu master appropriated enough contacts to launch his own company - https://titan-goods.com

Now it could be said that I was headhunted by Tiger Claw out of the company that I helped launch - https://wle.com

I prefer to think it was my writing because I already had published freelance work in all the major martial mags, but there you had it.

Karma is a bitch, man.

I'm guessing this is a draw....

Former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will return to mixed martial arts for the first time in nearly a decade when she faces fellow combat sports trailblazer Gina Carano on May 16 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, Most Valuable Promotions confirmed Tuesday to ESPN.

The blockbuster showdown between MMA legends will headline the first professional MMA event promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions and will be streamed live on Netflix.
Rousey and Carano will face each other at 145 pounds, and the fight will be professionally sanctioned under the Unified Rules of MMA and contested over five 5-minute rounds using 4-ounce gloves, inside a hexagon cage.

Having seen Carano lose live and having held her in my arms (before she was cancelled), my money is on Rousey.

Resistance is Fotile

It literally translates as Fotile but the characters separately are direction & too.

Fotile is a major Chinese producer of high end kitchen appliances. 

Chinamaxxing ya know? 

If any of you are following the becoming Chinese trend, just give me a holla.

And now my socials are inundated with Fotile ads

Thanks tg. Thanks a lot.

Ha. I've built my career, fwiw, on Chinamaxxing. Hoping to cash out with this new trend, but all I get is Fotile ads... :-(
