WenMiao has a state Taekwondo champion there. Also the Judo teacher is an All-China champion plus an ex-Olympian also trains there. I do not know if that is what you are looking for in the way of good teachers. Also BJJ=Basically Just Judo, ne waza. Respect for BJJ but that's just what it is.
Hey Dazzer, your spot on, and it is not a bluemoon. For all you temple/ poor people giving deeds well done. But I have to support what Dazzer said about helping people in accidents in China. 2 days ago I tried to help a drunk man who had been beaten. I gave him a tissue and water and he starts yelling at me. Then an old dude crashes into me yesterday on his electric lazy bike while he was trying to eat peanuts and swerving across the road while looking for peanuts in his bag (his head was vertically down whilst driving in traffic; so Chinese). I barley escape the incident and luckily he did not actually crash into me. Out of some remnant of my western moral standard I stop my pushbike and try to help him up when he starts accusing me of crashing into him and causing the accident. Do you know in the crowded street how many CHinese came to his aid? 0. A big 0. So for all you bloggers who claim Dazzar is negative; here is someone else who got blamed helping a man up from the road. I know you guys think you can change China, but it is a big place with alot of people and a corrupt and unfair system of immorality veiled in allegory and enforced by laws that do not apply to the ruling elite. I ended up letting the sorry ass lay in his blood and his busted arm and ride away. The police tried to stop me but they got the birdie and backed down. You think between majong gambling, drinking on the job and knockshop visits some lazy kunming police officer is going to help you from an angry mob? In China, there is no merit and for those who get a warm fuzzy feeling from 'RAK'. You are going to get into some shit you cant easily walk away from. This is communist China not Sunday school. The reality in China is the more cunning and ruthless the higher up the red ladder you go. Be the first in the line to get your meals and be the fastest to run from trouble and survive. Now I know why Chinese do not help other Chinese when they have an accident. I thought they did not have hearts, and Chinese were immoral, but as I and Dazzar have learnt you can quickly become the target of someone's bs campaign of compo against you. It is survival, and there is no room for that warm fuzzy feeling dodo birds!
Hey SFbayarea; go to Wen Miao (98 Renmin Zhong Lu); Judo, Jiu Jitsu (7 days per week; Tuesday, Thursday 7.30-9.30pm, Sat & Sun 2.30 - 5.30pm, then 7.30-9.30pm (Sat only), and Monday, Wednesday, Friday in North Kunming.
Wu Shu, Tai Qi, Taekwondo, Aikido. There is also Karate not far from Wen Miao either.
Hey abcdabcd, yeah fair comment but I tired of being almost run down in traffic next to a police officer who standing with his buddies does nothing but carry on their conversation and cigarette. I do not work in an air-conditioned office as you suggested. I wouldnt compare police in Kunming with those in other cities in China or the West as 'risking their lives'. Yunnan people are lazy it is a well known fact in China. So the Yunnan Provincial government better harden up their public security or we are all at risk anywhere any time. How many public attacks, stabbings, shootings have taken place in the past two months alone, both reported and unreported in the media including organ harvesting and child abduction? Ask yourself that question and then let me know if the Police in Kunming and the provincial government are competent to protect the people of Kunming? What they should do is have military stationed in public areas ready to shoot, not wait 10 minutes for police to arrive and that may persuade similar attacks in future.
As per Rachelc comments, witnesses saw people dressed in 'black with covered heads'. So the next time you watch a bank robber footage, they are all muslim's because of course, they are covering their heads and dressed in black. There is no evidence these were Muslims or Uyghur. It is probably an attack cooked up by some billionaire and his buddies who want oil. DO you honestly thing 10 goat herders from Xinjiang did this? They came all the way from Xinjiang to Kunming. That's a very long way to come. Blame a tiny minority that are a moral and good people and God fearing and believe that murder is a sin. This is global organised act and not originating in China, least of all goat herders from Xinjiang.

China's diabetes rate passes 11 percent
Posted byIts all the hidden sugar, oil, lack of exercise. Good points Dazzer/ Krismoonpie. Tiger, even though there are correlations, a person's weight actually has no reference to type II diabetes. Waist circumference is a better measure (i.e. in layman's terms' the beer gut).
Also China's tea production has increase but per capita consumption decreased. Pu-erh tea is a hypoglycaemic agent, which is in declining per capita consumption. Even though all this is staring the government and medical researchers, medical practitioners in the face, why are things getting worse? Co-morbidities with cancer, heart failure, highly organized urban dwellings and structured society, what better way to control a birth rate than to decrease fertility rates (double the 11%, it takes two to tango, unless the milkman is doing the rounds in your neighborhood); diabetes effects 25% or more of China's population and at the same time reduce life expectancy due to morbid obesity and type II diabetes and associated diseases. I am a medical researcher with a Ph.D. in nutrition and from a herbal (Phytochemistry and Pharmacognosy, 'not black box TCM') and nutritional medicine practitioner working in Yunnan for a medical university in research and affiliated with the Academy of Sciences. Fade diets etc., such as Paleo/ Low carb are exactly that, fads. There is nothing wrong with complex carbohydrates, except laptops and a sedentary lifestyle. Keep a food diary for 3 days and wear a pedometer and you will soon work out what is going on. Also how many people with diabetes consult a trained and qualified nutritionist instead of looking for answers on the internet, or consult a GP sales rep (and they are growing in Chinese hospitals)? Take this tablet and we will keep your symptoms under control. There are literally hundreds of native grown Yunnan food and herbal species that modulate blood sugar and fats. The bottom line is people do not want to eat them. When was the last time you ate Bitter Melon salad? Fenugreek tea? Mmmm, bitter and hard to digest. Or maybe a dash of Gymnema instead of the burger and fries at one of those 'Western cafes' with a 'polluted menu' in Kunming? Have you ever asked for no oil or salt, or sugar in your food here in China? Its like going to war with the chefs. They cannot fathom why someone would not want their food not drowned in pig fat, salt and sugar. Genetic conditioning over multiple generations will 'weed' out the weak and susceptible, keep the Minoans distracted and diseased (easier to control) and Like Americans in the 80's, Soda is it. What about China's booming cafe market and coffee culture a.k.a sugar market. Have you ever measured, is there more coffeee or sugar in that Starpucks Mocachino? Again that invisible syrup you cant see. Maccas, KFC, and their Chinese imitators are raking in the cash, not to mention bogus medical products on the market. Face it, the sheeple of China are breed to be workers, for their growing commercial overlords. Now the country is adopting more technology, Shopping malls, brands, China is shedding 'weight' in functional labor population but keeping a growing majority in a diseased state and reducing their life expectancy. It is an easier way to reduce population within a 30 year time frame. Welcome to affluenza China and social change.
Government undertaking aims to flush Dianchi clean
Posted byJapanese research literature and also research conducted by Kunming Science and Tech., University clearly state that the phosphate pollution (which provides substrate for blue-green algal growth) is in the sediment of Dianchi after 40 years of dumping sewerage and industrial waste into the lake. At the same time continuing industrial pollution and reducing the water volume via irrigation.
Dilution will not work. Its like adding more water to a cup of water with an ink well in the bottom, it maybe look a little less green, but it is still green. What worked was a little 'green' or should I write 'red' went west to Switzerland. The problem is all the things you can't see in China (the 1% of that 1.5 billion dollars that got spend on discretionary funds), including the source of pollution sitting 4 meters on the bottom of Dianchi lake.
Do not kid yourself, someones friend of a friend got a pile of notes along side the polly who wrote his cheque, and folks that is just the way it is here in China and also back in the West.
