Original Title: TIL of Lei Tai. An Ancient Chinese form of Gladiatorial Combat/Entertainment where a local champion fighter builds a stage in the town square and invites anyone to knock him off the stage using any unarmed martial art. The winner then gets to “own” the stage, and issues a similar challenge as well.
