The Viking berserker in me always nods when he sees people accepting the truism that government isn’t going to protect them, then proceeding to take their safety into their own, fudge-stained hands.
Say what? That didn’t sound right at all. Especially coming from Sodom Francisco.
Chocolate shop in San Francisco’s Chinatown teaches employees kung fu to combat crime

The owner of a chocolate shop in San Francisco’s Chinatown has been offering her employees kung fu lessons after work to help them combat theft and crime in the neighborhood.
Mindy Fong, the owner of Jade Chocolates Teahouse and Cafe, closed her shop at around 5 p.m. on a weekday in March to hold the first of many kung fu classes for her employees following the rise of reported robberies in the neighborhood.
A little late to START a martial arts regimen, when next door gets robbed.
Fong had reportedly moved her Asian-inspired chocolate shop from Inner Richmond to Chinatown. Although she was happy to find .a cultural home. for her shop, she was worried about the increase in crime and anti-Asian hate in the area after the COVID-19 pandemic started.
Anti-Asian hate crimes in San Francisco increased by 567 percent in 2021, according to the San Francisco Police Department. Although there have been fewer recorded incidents in Chinatown this year, crime continues to be a big issue and concern for both business owners and residents in the area.
Consistent with growing Chinese influence in California generally and San Francisco specifically. The dominant ethnic group manufactures hate crimes against itself as a form of empowerment.
The Chinese didn’t create this crazy Clown World system, but that won’t stop them from playing to win. Anti-Asian hate crimes are up over 500 percent in a single year? Asian work ethic for the win!
This might also explain why Fong moved from Richmond… lots of blacks there, if I don’t miss my guess… to a “cultural home” in SF’s Chinatown currently enjoying a massive outbreak of highly profitable victimhood.
Which in turn, explains this very curious choice of self-defense.
Scott McTaggert, the executive chef of Jade Chocolates, told the San Francisco Chronicle that for the last six years, he has been practicing wing tsun, a form of southern Chinese kung fu that focuses on self-defense. He has reportedly offered employees the opportunity to train at Chinatown’s San Francisco WingTsun school.
.I will do everything I can do to make our employees feel safer and more empowered, so they can live their lives without being afraid,. McTaggert was quoted as saying.
It’s like free advertising!
Ohhh, it IS free advertising.
Wing Tsun is probably one of those martial arts that was first developed by disarmed peasants who chose not to go quietly into that crooked-government-goons night. A smart move for the time that doesn’t work against modern firearms.
But I REALLY don’t see it working in the Gay Area. For one, it’s not self-defense if you have to touch them. The bad guys there are homeless, diseased drug addicts. Grappling them is the next worst thing to grabbing your ankles for them, and God forbid you get any actual blood spatter on your person. Also, you don’t want to “go to the mat” on those chunky-brown sidewalks.
For another, syringes. Diseased drug addicts again.
For a third, a long learning curve. It takes serious time investment to become good enough at a martial art that one can use it reliably… that’s key… in a for-real street brawl or robbery that very possibly, will involve feces-coated shivs.
And for a fourth, nobody is afraid when a chocolate shop artist offers them a licking. Pun aside, the best way to avoid a street fight is intimidation. A martial art that lets you blend in until throat-strike time, does not warn the bad guys away, and the best way to win a fight is always to avoid a fight. Get in power cage, little yellow man. We pump you up!
That reminds me, Number Five: kung fu warrior princess AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN.
This kung-fu silliness is an example of cashing in on the “anti-Asian menace”. Free advertising, a little cultural celebration, maybe even stage an “attack” for a guaranteed-viral youTube video!
Is Jussie Smollett still acting? Asking for a friend who offered me a bonbon.
