From Martial Artist to Economist (Part 2)

Antonio Graceffo describes his 22-year journey in Asia, from martial artist and MMA fighter to economist and China analyst. Beginning at the Shaolin Temple, he trained and studied martial arts across Asia, eventually earning a Ph.D. scholarship in wrestling at Shanghai University of Sport. Upon graduation, he entered post-doctoral studies in Economics at the School of Economics, Shanghai University. His unusual journey provided him with a unique perspective on how China’s economy can be interpreted through the lens of martial arts.
