Ranton (real name Anton, born on the 5th of December) is a half German and half Chinese Youtuber, Former Shaolin Monk, Comedian, Streamer, and podcaster who is known for his over the top humor and videos that are both entertaining and educational.

After graduating from high school, he started an apprenticeship at a German bank. At age 19, he moved to China. It is at this point that he started his 3 years journey in the Shaolin Temple to learn the way of the Shaolin and its discipline and Kung Fu. After that, he left Shaolin Temple due to personal reasons.

On 2nd September 2016, he started his youtube career reviewing games as well as sharing his passion for kung fu, Buddhist culture and the Shaolin way of life. With his videos full of memes as well as outstanding editing, his game reviews are comical and entertaining while his videos related to his Shaolin journey are too entertaining and knowledgeable. One of his most-viewed videos is titled "Real Shaolin Disciple Reacts to Fake Martial Arts." Another popular video is titled "My Life At Shaolin Temple."

At the same time too, Ranton did have some podcasts too mainly talking about games and recent news. On the 1st of February 2019, he started another youtube channel called Ranton Stream Highlights where he posts about highlights from his twitch streaming which he is active now.

We hope that in the future, we can see more of Ranton’s content, particularly his game reviews. Interested in his content, kindly go to this link (https://www.youtube.com/c/RantonOfficial/about) for his game reviews or videos about his Shaolin journey.

Lastly, thank you for supporting the posts done for this semester. Hope everyone has a great day ahead.

Escape from the Undead is an online escape room with a Zombie Apocalypse theme. It is done by the passion of doing something extraordinary and was aimed to introduce the participants that have never experienced university life to this campus.

The game was set on The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus where players are divided into groups of 3 to 4 and act as the survivors. The survivors were trapped inside and will be required to gather their wits to solve puzzles and find clues within the given time to escape. Failure to escape caused the players to be “overrun and devoured” by the zombies. Aside from team-working skills, each individual’s critical thinking skill was also tested as the game went on. In the end, only one group survived and could "Escape from the Undead". Survivors will then be crowned with a cash prize during the closing ceremony.

Jesse Enkamp (Born July 19, 1989) aka “The Karate Nerd” is a No 1 best selling author on Amazon, entrepreneur, traveller, athlete, martial artist, educator, carrot cake connoisseur and founder of Seishin International.

Born in Sweden, Jesse started learning Karate in his parent's dojo. Although his parents were Karate teachers, they regularly invited other martial arts instructors to help pay the bills. This early exposure provided me with curiosity and respect for all martial arts. After graduating high school, he moved to Okinawa to study at university. During this time, he started a blog called KARATE by Jesse which became the #1 Karate blog in the world.

After he came back to Sweden, he has finally selected for the national team, representing Sweden at international tournaments. By the age of 25, He continued his travels to learn from Karate experts around the world and share his discoveries in articles, books, videos and seminars. He also built a community of fans who embraced the full spectrum of Karate. Today, this has become his life’s mission to find new ways to hammer home the message of adopting the Karate Nerd mindset to make the world a better place.

We at AMAC do not provide Karate but other martial arts to be learned stay tuned for more posts from AMAC and do check out the karate nerd youtube videos to learn about Karate and its history and remember

Our Induction Night was conducted in combination with a Game Night, allowing us to achieve our event goals while keeping people entertained. We truly believed that our very own online Amazing Race set another high bar on event creativity in the campus!

The event itself began with a brief introduction to AMAC, starting from its history to the martial arts classes. Participants were then divided into groups of 5 and proceeded to the game session guided by the game masters. The game involved seven different "Shaolin Temples", where a group of young warriors were sent to embark on a journey to unite all "7 Ancient Weapons" that could help them defeat the forces of evil.

The "7 Kungfu Temples" —— which were the MS Teams channels, are filled with several challenges/obstacles that the warriors had to explore and complete to obtain the weapons hidden inside. The subject of the tasks was partly related to martial arts. In order to change the fate of the world, the young warriors must conquer the "7 Kungfu Temples" and defeat the evil forces in time. The first three group of warriors that could gather their power and fight their way to victory were handled prizes by the people and titled as the "Great Warrior".

He had previously auditioned for Shang-Chi from the Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings but didn’t get the role. Perhaps his most prominent role is playing Lui Kang in the reboot Mortal Kombat. He is a fan of comic books, manga, and anime. He is also an activist for Asian representation and speaking out against Asian racism with movements like Stop Asian Hate.

AMAC's Amazing Race is one of the major events during the academic year of 19/20. Our goal for the event is to show that there are a lot of things that we can explore in AMAC rather than martial arts itself and inspire people to be adventurous within their own abilities.

AMAC’s Amazing Race is a team-based competition held around the campus area which requires teams to deduce clues, navigate themselves around certain areas within the campus, and perform some physical and mental challenges. The top three teams that made their way through the stations and completed all obstacles within the shortest amount of time were then announced as the winners. Throughout the course of this race, it was observed that teams had built their cooperativeness and challenged themselves to think outside of the box. The closing ceremony took place at the end of the event where prizes were handed to the winners and some hearty snacks were served as companions

Born in Tokyo, Japan, originally planning to be an action movie star, he studied Shorinji Kempo and later took up Kyokushin kaikan karate. He began training at the age of 11 with Chiba's Japan Action Club, where he developed good all-around martial arts ability and soon became Chiba's protégé. After entering high school, following Chiba's advice, he decided to devote himself to his studies and withdrew from performing arts activities. In 1978, he resumed his performing arts activities in earnest after passing the audition for the movie Shogun's Samurai.

Since then, He has enlightened audiences around the world with his talent, skills to act, and versatility in such internationally acclaimed motion pictures as The Last Samurai, co-starring Tom Cruise, and Yoji Yamada's 2004 Oscar-nominated film, The Twilight Samurai. Sanada has also filmed a role in the science fiction adventure film Sunshine, directed by Danny Boyle. Even in the movie The Rush Hour 3, he played the character of a lead villain opposite Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. He began starring in bigger movies, including the influential Japanese horror film "Ring". He starred in the X-Men franchise, The Wolverine (2013) and more recently, in The Railway Man (2014), and in the movie Mr. Holmes as Tamiki Umezaki. Sanada also reunited with James Ivory in 2007 for the movie City Of Your Final Destiny in which he stars opposite. Perhaps his most prominent role is Hanzo Hasashi aka Scorpion in the new Mortal Kombat.

Stay tuned for our next real-life martial artist showcase next week as well as Hiroyuki Sanada’s future projects like John Wick Chapter 4 and so on.

Nott-A-Funfair is one of the events organized by AMAC that is open to the general public. The event was held with the aim of providing a stress-relieving activity for students and staffs around campus as well as to provide juniors the opportunity to learn various skills in event management.

AMAC has collaborated with several other clubs as well as some of the accommodation hall committees in UNM to make this event successful. This event was organized with a Pokémon theme to spark interest among students. Each club had their own booths where they were selling either products or games. During this event, a coupon system was implemented where any form of transaction was done using coupons.

In addition to fun activities done by each club, AMAC has separately organized a Spicy Noodle Eating Challenge where the fastest participant to finish a bowl of extremely spicy noodles would win a prize. An hourly lucky draw session was also done where prizes would be randomly distributed once every hour throughout the event time. A Pillow Fight session was also held where anyone was free to smack random participants with pillows. And let’s not forget the star of the event - we were truly grateful to the Boss of UNM Chinese Stall for having a live karaoke session on stage to hype up the event. This event was no doubt one of the most interesting and unique public events done by any clubs within UNM.
