Haven't heard much about this - you'd think this would be bigger news and more important. In the old days, this stuff could be counted on to be a front page story. Now, we're more important with syrup bottles that have racist symbols.

Let's be fair, Chinese martial arts is based on Indian and in the 21st century there is no hand to hand combat.

Well to be fair a Buddhist from India brought the ideas of Buddhism to Shaolin area in about 500 AD and introduced exercises to improve the health of the monks (18 Shaolin Lohan Hands foundation of Chi Kung), but kung fu was developed on its own for centuries and exploded after the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Qing and treated Shaolin as a rebellious organization and burning it down which spread the remaining monks and kung fu all over China.

India never had a history of martial arts, just Buddhism mainly.

So if Indian and Chinese warriors got to gether for some hand to hand or with weapons...

I take these guys any day:
