Qi City, Boyuan Martial Arts Hall.

A medium-sized man stood outside the gate of the martial arts hall, he was wearing a pair of blue cloth pants, a light white short-sleeved shirt that was washed a little whitish, his chest muscles were very developed, and the clothes on his chest were wet with sweat, outlining obvious lines.

His name is Dong Yunfei and he is 40 years old this year.

Walking into the martial arts hall, a waitress at the front desk took the initiative to smile and asked after seeing him, "Hello, is there anything I can help you?"

Dong Yunfei was a little apprehensive, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that there is a coach here, and I am here to apply." ”

"Okay, then please fill in your personal information first. The waiter skillfully handed Dong Yunfei a piece of paper and a pen.

"That, I haven't been a coach before, I, I'm practicing traditional martial arts, and I'm here to recruit this, right?" Dong Yunfei asked expectantly.

The waiter smiled and nodded: "That's right, all boxers who practice traditional martial arts are welcome here, but if you want to be a coach, you still need to have a certain level." ”

Dong Yunfei was suddenly a little nervous: "I, I've been practicing for thirty years, I don't know if it's okay?"

The waiter said: "I don't count this, our owner happens to be here today, I'll take you to see him, he has the final say." ”

Dong Yunfei nodded, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

The waiter took Dong Yunfei into the martial arts hall, and in the martial arts hall, several coaches and more than a dozen students were practicing boxing, such a scene made Dong Yunfei look a little trance, and suddenly remembered the scene of practicing boxing by himself when he was a child.

At that time, there was a master in Dong Yunfei's village who practiced boxing for free, and many parents would send their children to school, which could strengthen their bodies and keep their children healthy, so as not to run around all day long.

When Dong Yunfei was ten years old, he was also sent by his parents to learn boxing from the master, he didn't know what kind of boxing he learned, and the master didn't say anything, anyway, he practiced with everyone.

There are many children who learn boxing together, and some children will change their ways to be lazy, even if the master sees it, he will not say much, and over time, more and more children will be lazy together. And Dong Yunfei is more honest, he will finish everything the master tells him in 1510, and if he makes 50 punches, he will not only swing 49 times.

As they grew older, there were fewer and fewer children who came to learn boxing, and in the end, only Dong Yunfei and the other two children were left to go to the master every day to learn boxing.

Suddenly, one day, the master asked Dong Yunfei if he would like to be his apprentice, Dong Yunfei actually didn't know so much, went home and asked his parents, and his parents said that this was a good thing, so Dong Yunfei officially apprenticed.

On the day of his apprenticeship, the master told him that he had learned to call White Ape Boxing.

"Please sit here for a while, our pavilion master has something to do, so I'll come over in a while." The waiter's words interrupted Dong Yunfei's memories.

"Okay, thank you. Dong Yunfei thanked.

The other party smiled and nodded, and turned to leave.

Dong Yunfei looked around, there was a row of stools behind him, he thought about it, didn't sit down, just stood in place and waited.

The process of waiting made Dong Yunfei feel a little tormented, he didn't feel that he had waited too long, but he was too nervous, afraid that he wouldn't be able to seize this opportunity.

He left the village at the age of twenty and went to work in the city.

At the beginning of working on the construction site, there was a conflict on the construction site, a group of people fought, including Dong Yunfei's fellow countryman, he was worried that the villager would suffer, so he helped.

He practiced White Ape Fist for ten years, and it was easy to put people down.

Later, this matter spread to the contractor, and the other party took the initiative to find Dong Yunfei and said that you are so capable of fighting, why bother to make such a small amount of money on the construction site, I will take you to make a lot of money!

Twenty-year-old Dong Yunfei was moved, so the foreman took him to fight underground black boxing.

At the beginning, Dong Yunfei had little experience and lost a few games, but gradually he opened his mind, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, his record became better and better, and his income also rose.

Later, the manager of a professional fighting club took a fancy to him and wanted to sign him as a professional player, Dong Yunfei agreed, because the other party told him that being a professional player makes more money!

After a short period of training, Dong Yunfei fought several free fighting matches, all of which won by hard points.

However, the manager told him that his playing style is not good-looking, he does not win crisply, and he has no appreciation, so he can't attract the audience and can't be popular.

Dong Yunfei was faced with two choices at that time: either change his playing style, or get out of the box and go back to playing underground black boxing.

Having seen the glamour and high income of some of the top pros, Dong Yunfei was certainly reluctant to go back to underground black boxing, so he agreed to change his style.

However, after the change in playing style, Dong Yunfei, who strengthened his attack and aggressiveness, lost several games in succession, so he was completely abandoned by the club.

Dong Yunfei was unwilling to quit the professional arena like this, and then he signed up for many competitions in his personal name.

He tried to change his style of play and found that it was not suitable for him, and then he tried to change back to his original style of play, but as the manager of the fight club said at the beginning, this style of play is not ornamental and difficult to win the love of the audience, so no company or club is willing to package him, even if he achieves good results in the game, he still can't play famous, and no fame means no value.

Over the years, Dong Yunfei has made many attempts, but unfortunately they have failed. Someone told him that his situation is somewhat similar to a foreign boxing champion, that boxing champion is known for dodging, and his style of play is also not good-looking, in the professional boxing arena dominated by KO, most of the opponent's matches are won by points, and the audience has a lot of controversy about this person, but it does not prevent the other party from becoming the world's top boxing champion and the most valuable boxing champion!

After listening to this, Dong Yunfei specially checked a lot of information, and analyzed it himself afterwards, and he found that there were two reasons why he could not succeed like the other party: first, he did not have the ultimate strength of the other party, and he could win undefeated for a long time.

Second, the domestic system is not as perfect as abroad.

In China, whether it is boxing, kickboxing or mixed martial arts (MMA), there is no unified, high-level, large-scale professional competition, which is far behind foreign countries. Boxing, there are four major professional boxing leagues abroad, with a very mature business model, and tens of billions of profits every year. Mixed martial arts (MMA), there is UFC abroad, and a more influential fight can involve hundreds of millions of dollars. Kickboxing (kickboxing) has a relatively low impact, but there are also relatively mature and high-level professional competitions such as K-1.

In China, at most, several clubs and a certain company will pull some sponsors to hold a large-scale competition and invite many private players to participate.

There is no recognized career platform, no perfect talent training mechanism, and no mature business model, resulting in many players like Dong Yunfei being missed or abandoned.

After coming to such a conclusion, Dong Yunfei chose to retire when he was thirty-five years old.

After retiring, Dong Yunfei had no savings, couldn't open a boxing gym, couldn't do business, wasn't good at communicating with people, and couldn't be a coach.

In order to support his family, Dong Yunfei went to the bar to see the scene, worked as a personal bodyguard, worked as a community security guard, and worked as a boxing gym sparring partner......

At the age of forty now, nothing has been accomplished.

The children in the family have to go to school, the mortgage to be repaid, and the parents to support, Dong Yunfei needs a stable income so much!

He saw Wu Li's interview video on the Internet, and checked the salary of the coach of the Boyuan Martial Arts Gym, and he was moved, so he rushed from other places to give it a try with great expectations.

It wasn't long before a young man approached with several people.

Dong Yunfei recognized at a glance that the young man led by him was Wu Li.

His heart began to beat faster, and he was even more nervous than he was when he first competed on stage.

"Hello. ”

Wu Li walked over and took the initiative to shake hands with him.

"Hello, hello!" Dong Yunfei hurriedly stretched out his hand and bent down slightly to shake hands with Wu Li.

"What's your last name?"

"Don't be expensive, don't be noble, your surname is Dong, Dong Yunfei. ”

"What kind of fist did Master Dong practice, and how long did he practice?"

"White Ape Boxing, I have been practicing for almost thirty years. ”

"Okay, can you do a set of punches for me to see?"

"Good. ”

Dong Yunfei took a few steps back, took a deep breath, put on a boxing fight, and then began to punch.

After leaving the professional arena for five years, Dong Yunfei has hardly practiced boxing well in the past five years, and he is not good at words, so he actually has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know if he can be favored by Wu Li.

Smack!

The white ape fist moves wide open and close, full of force, mainly bright energy, Dong Yunfei almost used all his strength in order to be selected, and kept making crisp sounds.

It's been a long time since he's finished a whole set of punches, but many things have actually been carved into his bones, and at this time, almost instinctively, just like when he was in the small courtyard of the master, he followed the master to learn boxing one punch and one kick.

Shake your arms and shake your wrists, stand up into a circle, loosen your arms, and hit far away...... The characteristics of the White Ape Fist were used by Dong Yunfei one by one.

Soon, after a set of punches, Dong Yunfei stopped and looked at Wu Li worriedly.

Wu Li took a step forward, hugged his fists at Dong Yunfei and said, "Master Dong, on behalf of the Boyuan Martial Arts Hall, I welcome you to join!"

Dong Yunfei was stunned at first, and then the forty-year-old man's eyes turned red.

Maybe it's because he's finally found a stable and satisfying job, or maybe it's been a long, long time since he's been called out like this:

Master Dong.
