In Taipei, Taiwan, host, Antonio Graceffo meets Sifu Gordon at Evolution Combat where he gets a lesson in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The interesting thing about MMA in Taiwan is that many of the practitioners have a background in Wing Chun or Chinese martial arts, as well as wrestling, Sambo, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As a result, the art and the fighting have a different look than MMA in other places. Some of Gordons throws even come from Tai Chi. Particularly, the stand up fighting is different, because in addition to Muay Thai you will see spinning kicks, straight kicks, karate and kung fu kicks.

It is determined, Stick is lifeless.
To be alive, must be effective
To be effective, must be possible
To be possible, it must be true.

Hold on to Stick or
