World boxing champion Billy Chou: He broke Jet Li's arm and kicked Wu Jing away. No one dared to play against him. What happened next?

In Hong Kong at the end of the last century, there was a wave of "martial arts fever".

At that time, martial arts films were prosperous and accounted for half of Hong Kong films.

First, Bruce Lee founded a religion abroad and wrote the four words "Chinese Kung Fu" into the English dictionary; then Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others took over the glory and became famous overseas.

But dear readers, what I am talking about today is not the above mentioned ones, but another unknown but very powerful martial arts master - Zhou Billy.

Zhou Bi was so accomplished in martial arts that he once broke Jet Li's arm and kicked Wu Jing away. For a while, no one dared to film with him.

01 Billy Zhou was born in Canada in 1958 and was physically weak since childhood.

Therefore, Zhou Bili was sent to practice martial arts at the age of 11. Although his foundation was poor, he worked harder than everyone else, which is why he achieved his future achievements.

Zhou Billy's master saw that his fighting spirit was very much like when he was young, so he taught him everything he could, and from time to time he would go out to fight against tough people. Every time he came back injured, his master would heal him.

Time flies by year by year, and he has grown up in a blink of an eye.

After so many actual battles, it was time for him to become an apprentice, so he went out to fight on his own.

In 1982, he defeated many opponents and won the Canadian lightweight kickboxing championship at the age of only 24. In 1985, he won the world middle lightweight kickboxing championship.

After that, he entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry by chance. Because of his martial arts, he met many martial arts stars, such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Fan Shaohuang and others. However, it was Sammo Hung who was kind to him.

When Billy Chow first entered Hong Kong Entertainment, because he had no background and a complicated network of relationships, no one approached him for filming. Only Sammo Hung introduced him to various directors and gave him a good start.

Because of his fierce appearance, he rarely plays leading roles.

Since then, he has collaborated with martial arts superstar Jet Li many times in "The King of Adventures" and "Fist of Heroes", and has also co-starred with Stephen Chow, Gong Li and others as Ziwu Liulang in "The Gambler 2: The Gambler of Shanghai".

02 It is worth mentioning that during a movie shooting, Billy Zhou accidentally broke Jet Li's arm because he failed to control his strength.

Jet Li and Billy Chou both have real kung fu skills, so it is inevitable that they will move violently during the fight.

He expressed regret afterwards that the boxing techniques he used were for actual combat, and he accidentally injured Jet Li when he was in a scene. This was his first filming accident.

Another time, when I was filming a scene opposite Wu Jing in "The Kung Fu Boy", I accidentally kicked Wu Jing away.

Wu Jing also said frankly afterwards: "Billy Zhou's punches were very hard and very fast, but he deliberately took it easy. If possible, I don't want to compete with his character in the future." Because of his impressive martial arts,

At one time no one dared to film with him.

Billy Zhou once said in front of reporters more than once: "I am particularly afraid of fighting with others because it is easy to hurt the other party, but others are not afraid of being beaten at all." "But I can fight with Sammo Hung without any psychological pressure, because

Sammo Hung is thick and can bear it. "03 Time flies, and now Billy Chow is 61 years old and has entered old age. Now he no longer fights around, but is opening a martial arts gym to recruit apprentices and carry forward his martial arts.
