STREET THUG TRIES TO TURN HIS LIFE AROUND WITH MMA COMPETITION
by
Bowie V. Ibarra
Everyone has their own challenges to overcome. Our next fighter is one of those. He's a young scrapper with a great heart that has not had the opportunities many others his age has. But he has found hope in the cages of MMA where he can put his greatest skill on display: Fighting.
Here he is:
NAME: ALEJANDRO APPOLONIO PEREZ
NICKNAME: CHAIN
BIRTHDAY: JUNE 9, 1971

BILLED FROM: SAN UVALDE, TEXAS

TRAINER: N/A

Chain is a pure street fighter. He has had no formal training, and most of his skills were developed in scraps in back alleys, parks, and other places with enough room to fight.
Chain is around 22 years old when the story takes place in early 1993. Apart from fighting, Chain enjoys lifting weights to build and maintain his strength for defending himself with ruthless aggression. His baby face has been marked from fights throughout his life.
Chain is the child of Esmeralda Esparza and a man who never stepped forward as his father. He had three older brothers and two younger sisters. His mother was not much help raising them, as she worked two jobs seven days a week. The duty of raising the children were passed to his grandmother, Constancia. His older brothers bullied Chain growing up, and were equally disrespectful to their grandmother. This caused Chain to snap one day, beating up the brother, who subsequently ran away from home.
Chain wears torn blue jeans and a leather jacket emblazoned with a patriotic American flag design. He also wears a matching bandana around his head. Underneath the jacket is a white t-shirt.
Chain was recruited into San Uvalde International after fighting Vladymir Saltovsky in the middle of the dance floor at The Cadillac Ranch in San Uvalde.

FIGHTS: Meet the Pit Fighters - Chin Wu: Shaolin Kung Fu
YOUNG SHAOLIN KUNG-FU MASTER FACES CHALLENGES IN MMA CAGES
by
Bowie V. Ibarra
Making the journey to discover the world is a kung-fu master from China. He faces physical and philosophical challenges in San Uvalde as he puts his skills to the test in the MMA rings.
Here he is:
NAME: CHIN WU
NICKNAME: N/A
BIRTHDAY: OCTOBER 4, 1973
BIRTHPLACE: ZHENGZHOU, HENANG PROVINCE, CHINA
BILLED FROM: SAN UVALDE, TEXAS
NATIONALITY: CHINESE
FIGHTING STYLE: SHAOLIN KUNG-FU
TEACHER: SHAOLIN TEMPLE, YIN BAIWEN
SIGNATURE MOVES: BACKFLIP KICK
HEIGHT: 5'7"
WEIGHT: 150 lbs.
BACKGROUND
Chin Wu had been orphaned at the age of four in Shanghai. He was sent to the Shaolin temples in Zhengzhou, China, near the Yellow River, shortly before his fifth birthday. After waiting several days in front of the door of the temple, he was allowed in.
Strict discipline, intense training, and spiritual meditation dictated Chin’s life. For the next 10 years, Chin Wu became an expert in Shaolin Kung-Fu, mastering the Five Animal System, advanced Shaolin Kung-Fu techniques, Chinese Boxing, and Drunken Style. He also mastered many weapons techniques, including the moy fah gim (Plum Blossom Saber) and the nau yip doe (tie-sheet blade). However, his favorites were the sahm jit gwun (three section staff) and the goong seun gwun (Goong family staff).
After staying with the Shaolin community longer than anticipated, Chin Wu was encouraged to leave the temple. As one of the most articulate and intelligent students, they sent Chin Wu off with a wave and a smile, knowing that he would find his place in the world.
Immigrating to the United States, Chin spent some time in San Francisco working in Chinatown. For the next three years, Chin worked at a restaurant and picked up the English language.
American culture fascinated Chin, especially movies. Although the friends Chin met in San Francisco treated him to the modern movies, nothing compared to the “spaghetti westerns” of the sixties. Chin was enamored with the music, the stories, and the action.
After several years in San Francisco, the wind blew Chin Wu to San Uvalde, Texas, where he heard word of a fellow Shaolin monk that had set up a temple in town out on a small patch of land near Fort Inge. Yin Baiwen has been his teacher ever since. Here's his book trailer teaser:

William was the sixth child of eight siblings. Growing up in Dundee was rough on William, who quickly earned a reputation as a scrappy fighter in is early school days. Ironically enough, when it came to settling issues between his siblings, he always chose the diplomatic route over fisticuffs.
When he was fifteen, William was encouraged by his father to join a boxing club in Dundee. It was a blessing and a way for William to stay out of trouble on the streets, even though most people stayed well away from him at this point. His size, intimidating. His reputation, fearsome.
Angus McKinnon, a former boxer, took him under his wing at his gym. He helped William win his first super-heavyweight title at twenty-four, led William on a good run of victories in the UK and Europe. But William would squander his winnings on wine, women, and song. Those bad habits eventually led to his downfall as a champion boxer. Now considered a washup, William took back alley money fights to pay the bills before returning to work with Angus again. But even though he had honed his skills again, no one wanted to sign him because of his reputation as a drunk and philanderer. So William took to the money fight circuit to earn a shot he had lost in America for the big time. He took any and all fights available, even MMA fights, utilizing his superior size and hand skills to win matches. He eventually caught the attention of Herbert Hess, who signed him on to the San Uvalde International stable. The rest is history.
