What kind of people are you Americans They don't want to accept the human attitude towards violence No one can explain to me what the way I can understand is We also have Taiwan stores Below the video Check it out We have many products We are adding more products If you can find something you like Or the picture you want Send it to me in 3D I will give you a 3D picture or a picture of your loved one My name is Daniela Locke I am from Seattle Washington What am I doing here I live here I often encounter this problem What are you doing here I live here Are you working Everyone is working Oh you work here So I work here What do you mean Are you a student Are you working here I live here Why do you live here Oh I'm from Taiwan This is my home This is what I do here Of course I work here I am no longer a student I study English I am studying online now I used to be in the countryside Earn some money Sell vanilla and lemongrass and Western food at local restaurants but I really like teaching martial arts so I teach martial arts in Ganchang I teach martial arts there but in the past I teach chaotic martial arts and Brazilian jiu -jitsu So how do you manage your time in the hinterlands teaching English and martial arts Oh very bad Very bad I 'm not very good at it Time management but I'm pretty good you know when there's an appointment I do it and then achieve it When did you start training in Taiwan Or were you trained in Taiwan You used to train in Taiwan No I'm very interested in training but I didn't do much Until I moved here Before I moved here Sometimes I go to Daking then I go to the forest I go to the forest trying to plant there that 's my weekend hobby but now I got this great big place Raising chickens and vegetables Now Now I like to raise Raise What is your future plan You plan to expand it To make it A full-time thing Or Definitely not It's a funny story This is The only reason I sell these things is because I like doing it and then I can grow more things and then my wife and I can actually eat them so I can bury it in the ground or I can find some people to give it to Or some restaurants give me a little money to help me take it over How long have you lived in Taiwan 17 years I came here in 2009 I was 19 years old So I took the bus to Taichung then lived here for four years then I immigrated to Hsinchu for two years then came back here so I have lived here for 11 years so you would say Taichung Is it your favorite city in Taiwan Yes It's basically my favorite city So what's special about Taichung Maybe not all cities It's in the middle This means I'm not from any place in Taiwan I like to go to any place in Taiwan The weather is also good If I lived in Taiwan it would rain every day Just like Taipei I can live in Seattle No mistake I have lived in many places because I I have many dogs so I can't stay in one place for very long Usually the neighbors start to complain I get kicked out So I I lost my memory How many places have I lived in Taiwan's education for you These 17 years Two things I really think Are on my head Taiwan has really been good to me I hope Americans can be with me First Taiwanese people take good care of the elderly We Americans We can learn a lot Your parents Your grandparents Should not be stuck in A confused retirement home Taiwanese people should not be second I recently learned a major thing which is that accepting people for who they are rather than who they should be is a big part of being an American and this is also a major quality of a president We really love what a person should be like what a person should feel like what a person should act like and Taiwanese people are better that's just how it is We should not try to convince others to be who they should be I think the Taiwanese people are really doing the right thing When it comes to martial arts you came to Taiwan when you were about 19 Have you ever done this at home Yes I came to Taiwan about two years I want to continue training so I found a place called Iron Fist Club in Taichung I trained there I didn't go to Taiwan BJJ until I started mixed martial arts and Brazilian jiu-jitsu then I moved to Hsinchu and continued training at Taiwan BJJ until a coach named Demich separated He opened a shark pool So I trained I trained there for a while Until I left Then now The Iron Fist Club no longer exists But I train under Coach Wang He is the owner and head coach of the Iron Fist Club Then he ran the Iron Fist Club I teach my classes Asian people are familiar with karate and kung fu What's the difference with mixed martial arts Mixed martial arts is a competitive rule Right So you would know mixed martial arts Usually you practice several You may practice two or more specific training sessions as part of MMA training How popular is this martial art among young people in Taiwan Taiwan's martial arts are definitely not very popular This martial art is more popular than foreigners The more popular ones are locals Locals They don't really like boxing Or BJ or MMA Locals really like Muay Thai What do you think the locals mean by this sport So when I tell people When I tell them what I do Then I expla Sometimes they say "Is that dangerous " "Is that harmful " "Is that legal " So I heard so much let me think maybe part of the reason is that it's not very popular in Taiwan They are a violent movement I think Taiwanese people are a general rule They are not very violent people They don't really want to accept human attitudes towards violence They like gentle sports What advice do you have for the people of Taiwan Who has a second opinion Or who is standing on the front line in this matter What are the benefits of learning this sport I'll try it It won't hurt I said it would hurt Sometimes it does hurt No There's no reason not to try You go try the class It doesn't mean you're now forced to compete to be defeated try it's a great sport you might find you really like it you want to follow along you want to compete But most people think this is just a sport we all need more exercise this sentence what doesn 't hurt you makes you stronger I don't know I am injured in every part I have been injured many times They definitely won't make me stronger No But in terms of the spirit of that statement I'm not very serious Yes Doing difficult things makes it harder for you It builds character It's good for you Go back to the memory center Why did you choose to come to Taiwan I came to Taiwan My will It's spending a year or two here then traveling to other places so I imagined traveling the world then I came here I like it there 's no reason to leave so 17 years later I am here now What do you like about Taiwan What has made you stay in Taiwan for so long The first thing I like about Taiwan is that it's safe My wife can walk on the street by herself at 3 o'clock She doesn't worry I forgot my keys and motorcycle Only once stole I dropped my wallet Ten times out of nine It came back to me All the money was inside This is not if I think the best thing about Taiwan is its friendly people The place I came from The place my wife came from Taiwanese people are not violent people I really don't have to worry Injustice turning into violence They can be sometimes disgusting But they are not viole It rarely involves violence Sorry I can think of some exceptions No one is related to Taiwanese people But other than that I usually encounter other things I really like the gym where I train My first year in Taiwan Later I met a dog The dog is hard to exercise Now I have a family It's hard to take my wife children and dog with me If I go somewhere else I like Taiwan but if I decide this isn't the best place I need a strong reason to go elsewhere I must be confident that it will get better because I've built a life here and I can't give it up What was the hardest challenge you faced Or hasn't happened yet maintaining educational work so anytime when talking about Taiwanese culture Taiwanese people of course I will make a summary I know some people in the comments said that it's not for everyone of course not everyone you can 't make a summary about 2.3 billion people it doesn 't fit everyone but people are so against it When there is a problem they won't tell you until they are angry they can't accept It's not just that when there 's time ending a relationship in this case in a work relationship they often just lie I am an English teacher No one told me why they would do silly things I know it's not the reason no one could explain it to me I can understand why but I have been teaching online for about a year and a half now it's going well I haven't been fired yet My students seem to like me My staff seems to like me So I think the current issue most of which have already been resolved What is the most unpopular comment about Taiwan Taiwan is friendly towards foreigners First I say friendly to foreigners Their real meaning is that foreigners come from certain countries Countries are where engineers and English teachers come from Southeast Asians were treated as garbage Plus even people like me they are friendly as long as I stay on my path so if I am teaching English if I am an engineer or if I am a student they are very friendly every time I try to do something else This disgusting situation has started to appear You know as a martial artist some competitions I don't welcome As a foreigner they will say "We want to promote Taiwan's MMA It doesn't matter " About 90% of my martial arts training was done in Taiwan plus some competitions are not organized by the government and they are not internationalcompetitions Okay or A is not allowing foreigners B Foreigners are not allowed This time or C We will only compensate foreigners Less Then when I confront them No one explicitly says But you will find I am similar to other foreigners they don't want me to oppose Taiwan I don't know what that has to do with it almost anyone who disagrees with me when I meet Taiwanese people about my national identity comes up especially when it's unrelated to national identity I had an argument with my neighbor because she let her dog Enter my trash can then throw it on the street then she immediately said you Americans are all frauds what my nationality what does it matter I don't want you to let your dog enter my trash can Why are you reporting my country's nature My current focus is only on professional MMA matches My opponent is Liao Xiang You know he put up a garbage video I know he's trying he's trying to provoke a match but his whole video has nothing about me personally nothing about my fighting skills nothing about the next match Just kidding My Chinese ability He was promoting the showdown then you know in the worst case a trash can you can find trash in any culture but I don' t remember a perso A Taiwanese person says in a comment or elsewhere Hey brother what are you doing You're making us look like trash Where do you think I'm from You You will really be rejected Like Putting anything online or joking around in someone 's language online like some people will support you but there will be at least a lot of people saying it' s not cool not that that part really annoys me no one No one I saw like Oh This isn't cool This is really sad This is really disappointing What future does Taiwan have So it's now obvious so from what I' ve heard they' ve done a lot they organized a Taiwanese MMA team they went abroad they you know fight international sanctioned competitions so hope my hope is you know Taiwanese people they see them you know they see their countrymen going abroad getting their butts whipped bringing back gold medals then they say oh yes I want to do that too that looks cool so Maybe when it becomes more popular your local team will also grow but you have a website Facebook Instagram If someone wants to contact you have you train them or join your training they can find you You can find it on my Instagram or my Facebook and I'm sure the link will be in the description Yes okay you can go directly to Ganchang Chun Guan in Taiwan Is there anything you want to tell the people in Taiwan There are many people in Taiwan They are very angry because Trump changed the law or will change the law so you can't go to the United States to have a baby Right to Reproduce Ethnicity The result is that most people in Taiwan do not know that Taiwan does not have birth rights Ethnicity my son because my wife is Vietnamese I am American my son now has no country he is not suitable for the Taiwanese ethnicity so This isn't fair to me You can You can go to the United States With your baby there He has American nationality Automatically through birthright nationality Americans Americans' children are here do not automatically choose the mutual dependence between the United States and Taiwan especially Taiwan's dependence on the United States I think if we have a little mutual dependence But I can't vote you can I think the Taiwanese nation don't give up my American nation the way of the Taiwanese people can get the American nation not giving up their Taiwanese nation that that would be very good this really makes me feel A little bit is more welcome and appreciated Thank you All links Will be in the description below Let's check him
