When it comes to the most controversial figure in Chinese martial arts, I believe that many people will think of a name, a monk named Yi Long. Even if they don't pay attention to him, people in this circle have heard about him, and people have different and controversial stories about his behavior. But no matter what the outside world says about him, the monk Yi Long is silent and accepting. Such an unassuming role has attracted countless fans for him. Many netizens who don't know this are curious about Monk Yi Long. Are you a monk? Monk Yilong, what are they and how are they famous? Next, let Bian Xiao show you the background and photos of a dragon monk.

It is reported that the monk Yi Long, formerly known as Liu Xingjun, born in 1987. Ancestral origin Shandong Dezhou. Won the Guangdong Foshan International Wing Chun Challenge (75kg class). He practiced Shaolin, Taiji, Wing Chun, boxing and wrestling. His fame comes from a combat program, Wulin Feng. in 2009, Wulin Feng debuted Yi Long, who was known as the Little Kung Fu Monk. In the ring, he demonstrated his Iron Cloth Shirt Wing Chun and other kung fu. His display of various traditional Chinese kung fu suddenly made people who were used to modern combat suddenly discover a new world. After all, most Chinese people have a dream of kung fu, and Yi Long's appearance realizes these people's dreams!

It was in this arena that Yi Long grew from a "monk" to a monk. Most of his appearances were clad in a yellow monk's robe and sitting on a lotus platform. This kind of performance also makes people feel mysterious. Yilong's growth is also legendary. He defeated countless experts. Caucasian Eagle's nickname is Caucasian Eagle. He is the Russian professional expert Christian Dury. He turned the tables and defeated Thai champion Mai Shen Chai in a Chinese-Thai confrontation. In the following years, Yi Long also failed with many high-tech experts. Out of national patriotism, Yi Long has a deep connection with some Japanese champions. Against the Japanese K1 boxer Kotaro Mori, Yi Long completely destroyed his Japanese opponent with absolute superiority, and won less than Hi-Tech in the last round. This time, Yi Long made a name for himself by defeating the Japanese champion, laying the foundation for the first star of domestic boxing.

The monk's name has raised many questions about Yi Long's background. When it comes to the origins of the Shaolin Temple, he always downplays it by saying, "I have a deep connection with Shaolin and I'm a secular kid," but the conversation comes to an abrupt end. "In fact, life is a practice." . Buddhism is about entering and living in the world. How can you be born without entering the world? Actually social training is the best." Taoist Master Yi said.

While studying in Yongchun, Guangdong, he slept in Internet cafes and on the side of the road because he could not afford to stay in hotels. When practicing martial arts in various places, the road expenses were all made by working to earn money. "When I was a teenager, I went to a construction site to move bricks. After two days of moving bricks, I passed out from exhaustion. I also delivered lunchboxes and climbed 25 floors with a dozen lunchboxes at a time, as a kind of exercise." But the question still can't get around the topic of "monk" that made him famous. Statistics show that the monk is a kind of monk. Unlike other monks, who are very good at kung fu, especially Shaolin monks. But at the end of the day, if you're a monk, are you likely to become a monk?

"I was born into Shaolin kung fu, the practice. That's how I used to practice kung fu. Wulin Feng is an exploration of traditional Chinese kung fu. You see, it's a program that requires you to have a fixed image." Yilong admitted that the "bald" and "monk" labels were packaged by the program's team. xi Wulin Feng director Xu also admitted this in an interview with reporters. "Actually it has more or less artistic elements and packaging elements. Because it's important that you position a player, you have to give him a look that others can easily remember. Giving him a name like that makes it easier for people to remember him." A closer look at the beginning of Yi Long's appearance reveals that the monk's bandage tied around his leg is not real, but symbolic.

"He attended the Shaolin Temple Wushu School, and now he's very close to many of the people at the temple, including the class teacher at the Roadshow Temple. Strictly speaking, Yi Long is not from Shaolin Temple, but like many others, he studied martial arts at Shaolin Temple and learned a lot from many of its masters, including him now." This is how Xu explains the "bond" between Yi Long and Shaolin. The origin of the stage name "Yi Long" is also very interesting. He is obviously called "Monk", but his name comes from a Taoist temple.

In 2008, Yi Long was also known as Liu Xingjun. By then he was already famous. He was teaching boxing at a Wenzhou martial arts school. A friend brought in a famous local Taoist priest. He came and went and everyone was familiar with him. The Taoist priest invited him to his Taoist temple. Looking at his face, he thought if he practiced martial arts, he must change his name. After counting the eig, "It's Dragon again, Jackie Chan is also called Dragon, and Bruce Lee is also called Dragon. Do you follow the trend?" He didn't recognize the name at first. The Taoist priest lowered his head again, counted carefully, and said faintly, "If you want to develop the martial arts industry, you have to be called by this name, Yi Long." Doubtful, Liu Xingjun became skeptical.In 2009, he registered Wulin Feng under the name of Yi Long, and became famous in one fell swoop.

According to a competitor who has participated in Wulin Feng matches, he gets 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in appearance fees whether he wins or loses a match. This price can only be considered "middle income" in the selection of professional sparring competitions. "For a top player like Yi Long, the fee for each match must be more than 100,000 dollars," the player told reporters. Xu, one of the most famous players in the industry, admitted that Yi Long's fee is the highest in China. A year from now, Yi Long said he will play 20 to 30 games. In 2014 alone, three TV stations invited him to play. According to conservative estimates, Yi Long earned more than 3 million pounds from commercial matches in just one year.
