Did you ever watch these guys?
It's a very polite bar brawl...

As we've discussed here before, one wonders how much has been lost in the intervening years.....

"Grupo de Lucha, Suave y Amable" literally translates to "The fight group that is soft and kind". Is that what translates to 致柔拳社 (Zhi Rou Quan She)?

If someone does not come along that can read Chinese characters I will ask my wife tonight what 致柔拳社 means

But 拳 is quan which means fist

I think it means "soft style boxing community" or "soft style boxing society" probably referring to soft/internal vs hard/external.

I like that translation too.

致 zhì - fine / delicate -OR- to send / to devote / to deliver / to cause / to convey
柔 róu - soft / flexible / supple / yielding
拳 quán - fist
社 shè - society / group / club / agency

So it could also mean, devoted to "soft boxing" group.
