Two-Faced

Renren Martial Arts Center, Jingan, Shanghai

Inside the center, two students were sparring on a stage with more than ten people watching. Slightly further away, seven or eight people were hitting punching bags.

"Coach, I heard that a new martial arts center is opening nearby today." The person talking was a young man with a bare upper body who wore shorts.

Another man, refined, physically strong, and in his mid-thirties, sat in a chair and looked at the two trainees occasionally.

"Oh." The refined man nodded casually. "They will teach their skills, and we will teach ours."

There were 80 to 100 reputable martial arts centers in Shanghai. The total was even higher if the karate and taekwondo centers were added, not to mention those small centers that opened one day and closed the next.

There were many reputable martial arts centers in the vicinity, and they didn't interfere with each other.
