Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 165 Binny
Two days later, at Madrid Airport, Zhang Yang specially took time to greet Binny in person.

If they are just simple movie fans, the name Binny is nothing special to them.

But when anyone who is interested in fighting and boxing hears this name, their first reaction will be one of awe.

The reason why the fighting circle admires Binny is naturally due to his powerful personal attacks.

Throughout his career, he has achieved 63 wins and 0 losses, 57 of which were KO opponents.

In WKA, which is the world's free fighting competition, he is the undoubted first-generation middleweight king!
And unlike this era, most people rely on boxing or Muay Thai to enter the industry. Binny was born in a fighting family. His father is a well-known professional fighting champion, and his mother is a wrestling champion. When he was five years old, Binny started Get exposed to fighting and conduct actual combat training.

This kind of growth experience makes Binny not only have strong standing fighting skills, but also in wrestling and anti-fall, which are areas where most boxers of this generation are lacking. Binny is also superior and outstanding, not to mention that he can turn around and fly into the air. The back kick has its own unique understanding, which leads to a very high KO rate.

There is no doubt that Binny, who was reborn from the ashes after a tragic defeat in 78, was one of the fighters who undisputedly stood at the top of the fighting world in the early 80s. It was also from this time that Binney began to develop The idea of ​​​​entering the entertainment industry, and what is informative is that Binny does not mind whether he plays a villain or a decent person.

He has only one expectation for being on the big screen, and his ideas are very similar to those of Li Xiaolong and Zhang Yang.

That is to bring the actual combat skills in the ring to the screen, thereby expanding the influence of fighting.

From philosophy, to historical status, to personal strength.

Binny and Zhang Yang both have a lot in common, so Zhang Yang is particularly looking forward to meeting Binny.

After waiting at the airport gate for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yang finally saw Binny accompanied by his assistant.

Looking at the familiar face across from him with his aquiline nose, deep-set eye sockets, and slightly square jawline, Zhang Yang led the Jiahe staff to greet him.

"Mr. Binny, welcome to Spain."

Binny was slightly startled when he saw Zhang Yang greeting Zhang Yang in front of him. The staff accompanying Jiahe immediately introduced him.

"This is Mr. Zhang Yang, one of the leading actors in the movie "Food Truck" we collaborated with this time. He is also a well-known action star in Jiahe. In addition to being an action star, Mr. Zhang Yang also founded a mixed martial arts club and league on Hong Kong Island. We Many well-known professional fighters in Hong Kong are now studying under him."

When he heard that Zhang Yang was an action star, Binny looked as usual. But when he heard about mixed martial arts and that many professional fighters were learning from Zhang Yang, Binny immediately became interested and took the initiative to ask Zhang Yang for help. Zhang Yang stretched out his hand.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang Yang is also from the fighting ring. It's really surprising. I think if we have time, we can take the time to have a good chat."

"Of course, if you are willing, I will accompany you at any time."

Zhang Yang returned the hand that Binny gave him and took them into the car.

On the way back to the crew, Binny, who was sitting in the back row, took the lead in opening the topic: "Mr. Zhang Yang, I just heard from your assistant that you have established a mixed martial arts training gym and corresponding leagues in Hong Kong Island. I am very curious. He said Is this mixed martial arts another name for free fighting in Hong Kong Island?"

"No, there is still a difference between mixed martial arts and free fighting." Seeing Binny proactively ask about mixed martial arts, Zhang Yang immediately replied with a smile.

In order to promote mixed martial arts, Zhang Yang has done countless science popularizations to the public. Now that a legend in the fighting world like Binny has taken the initiative to ask about it, Zhang Yang will not hide it. After all, if he can attract such people to join , that is good news for both Zhang Yang and mixed martial arts.

“Compared with traditional kickboxing, American karate or Muay Thai and other fighting sports, the biggest difference between mixed martial arts and them is that because the corresponding rules are less restrictive, players participating in the competition can use more techniques from various fighting schools. Tactics, such as ground fighting, this kind of fighting style will never appear in other fighting arenas."

"Ground fighting? Is it like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?"

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a fighting skill that is extremely rare and unknown in the Eastern Hemisphere, is not too unfamiliar to Binney, who is an American.

It’s just that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the early 80s did not have an arena like Mixed Martial Arts to test it in actual combat, and there was no subsequent improvement of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu to incorporate wrestling and jutsu. Therefore, even in the United States, the status of this fighting skill is still unknown. , at this time it is probably equivalent to the small boxing types in some places.

Although the moves are unique enough to attract some people's attention, they currently do not have enough practical capabilities.

"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is just one type. In addition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, many sleeping techniques in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu are also part of ground fighting. In addition to ground fighting techniques, there are anti-fall, active hugging, punches, legs and knees. Elbows, standing and fighting in the ring are all things that need to be considered in mixed martial arts, and it is precisely because of the absorption and mixture of various fighting techniques that I call it mixed martial arts.”

After listening to Zhang Yang's explanation, Binnie's eyes suddenly flashed with an expression of admiration.

He understands fighting and fighting. Because of this, even if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he can realize what kind of complete three-dimensional fighting system Zhang Yang said that mixed martial arts will be. He couldn't help but said: "Oh my God , It’s really surprising that you can think of this. I seem to have only heard a similar statement before..."

"That's the claim made by Mr. Bruce Lee, right?"

"Yes, yes! That's right, it's Bruce Lee. If he were still alive, he would definitely want to see what you said."

"Yeah, it would be nice if he was still alive."

If it is just for the fighting world, although Li Xiaolong is equally great and legendary, everyone only admires him.

But for the Chinese, Li Xiaolong's appearance has a more noble meaning. He allowed the world to see the power of the Chinese through his Kung Fu philosophy, and shattered the stereotypes built by the discriminators.

At this point, Zhang Yang, who has stayed in the United States for three years, feels even deeper.

If Li Xiaolong were still alive, what would it be like now?

Zhang Yang can't imagine what didn't happen, but since God has given him a chance, he might as well take over Li Xiaolong's baton and continue to complete the things he failed to complete. If he wants to step into the territory of the United States, Zhang Yang needs to There is a local springboard that can be used as a fulcrum.

And the Binny in front of him at this moment is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
