The Most Embarrassing Exhibit at the Martial Arts Supershow
As I wandered through the Exhibit Hall at the Martial Arts Supershow 2010 in Las Vegas, I was disappointed that there was nothing that related to the internal arts.
Even the seminars were focused on kickboxing, karate (the modern version), TKD (the modern version) and MMA or MMA-related things (like "Cage Fitness").
Except for one booth, and it was completely embarrassing.
It was called Quantum Science -- BioTech Optimum Energy Program. The people at the booth should have been arrested for false advertising.
They were selling pendants. If you wear these pendants, they improve your chi and can even kill cancer cells -- that's exactly what a woman behind the booth told me.
It isn't just a pendant. They also will take your hard-earned cash for a bracelet or a watch that will do the same thing.
You see, their stuff "promotes positive flow of energy and helps to maintain energy balance. It helps to restore energy that has become weak in the body." That quote is from their brochure....
