- Two guys from the school where I train are going to Taiwan today for
- the Kuoshu competition.
- The Kuoshu competition has taken a brutal and dangerous turn in recent
- years. I wish them luck, and safety - and to any other folks out there who
- have fellow students going over for the competition, I hope that your friends,
- win or lose, some back safe and sound.
