It was a competition played between two teams in a winner stays on format. Hand techniques were not allowed. The aim was to either kick the opponent in the head or throw them to the floor to win.

That is, when you walk around town, do you get more of an impression of days past than in most areas of China? I had a look at the rest of your website. For some reason I was under the impression that you were of Asian ethnicity! How is your Korean coming along? Are you still teaching English over there? I heard that it's mandatory to teach American English there, which is preposterous. The workload is also quite hash compared to China.
