Gym owners in Shanghai sometimes ask me for input when setting up space for combat sports. The geniuses over here will pay through the nose for Smith machines and other garbage like that, but when you suggest putting down some real mats, they laugh at you. Actual quote, "Wrestling mats? And mats on the walls? Pfffft! Hahahahahahahaha! No way. We don't need that." And people still wonder why China is not producing any great MMA fighters.
