The 20 MMA fighters form part of the Enbo Fight Club, come from the province of Sichuan, in the southwest of the country, and will be the “Tibetan Mastiffs of the Highland Resistance”. They will train and live in Lhasa, the capital of the autonomous region of Tibet.
The club trains champions capable of competing in various international tournaments such as theUltimate Fighting Championship (UFC) of the United States, known for its no holds barred fights and for the brutality of punches, kicks, knees, warheads that the wrestlers inflict on each other. In China the debate on the virtue of the hybrid style of mixed martial arts or the traditional one of kung fu is constantly open.
“If the country needs us, the Enbo Fight Club will work whole-heartedly. I don’t know if our fighters took part in the conflict a few days ago, don’t ask me,” said the club owner Enbo interviewed from South China Morning Post.
The new troops have been recruited with the aim of “strengthening the border and stabilizing Tibet,” said the China National Defence News which admits no direct correlation to the clashes with India in the Himalaya region. The two countries have been fighting on the border since 1962.
