This is the fourth and last set of the pictures, which I took at the temple of the god of war. Only twelve pictures this time and one of them wiggly. I respect that flashlights are prohibited in temples, so not all pictures are perfect. But my pictures still show more than what you could […]

Here is the third set of eighteen of the pictures, which I took at the temple of the god of war. Hong-Kong was fortified by the British colonial rulers, but these would rather not pray to a Chinese god.

The German journalist Hajo Seppelt had the same impression, so tried to make up a scandal. He knew about suspended referees in the United States Fencing Association due to two competitors doubting their impartiality. […]

I refrained from making a forecast on the outcome of the presidential election in the USA. But many astrologers made forecasts. Mark on Skyscript collected such forecasts for a survey.

This article mixes some other topics, like whether capoeira ups the skills of MMA fighters, with it. MMA has nothing to do with self-defense! The Dendê Arts blog answers […]

I in 2021 wrote an article on the history of combat sports in Korea and published it on this blog. I told what I once had learnt and what I meanwhile in the internet age was able to figure out. Now the time for revising that article has come. While I, when choosing a martial […]
