In the Octagon true story prototype?

"In the Octagon" is based on the Enbo Fighting Club and tells the socially controversial and contagious story of fighting orphans.

"The Enbo Fighting Incident" is a story about a Chengdu-based fight club that adopted more than 400 underprivileged orphans from Daliangshan Mountain, where they learned and practiced mixed martial arts, as well as taking part in the occasional commercial performance. The children found confidence and joy in fighting, and saw hope for the future. In 2017, a video about "fighting orphans" went viral on the Internet, triggering a strong reaction from public opinion.

Many people believed the club was profiting from the children, abusing and exploiting them, and demanded immediate police intervention. With the intervention of the police and the education department, the children were sent back to their hometowns to receive their compulsory legal education. But, unexpectedly, the children expressed reluctance to return home and preferred to stay in the club to continue learning fighting.

The relevant education department, after learning about the children's situation, arranged the children to attend different schools and ages, and also listened carefully to the children's true inner will, so that the children who really love and want to continue to fight were arranged to schools with boxing training.

Why Enbo founded Enbo Fighting

The founder of Enbo Fighting is Enbo, a native of Heishui County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, who lost his father forever at the age of eight. He lost his father forever at the age of 8, but despite the hardships he experienced from a young age, he never lost his love for life.

At the age of 18, Enbo was introduced to sparring, after which he became an armed police fighter. With his extraordinary personal ability, he once won the "single and double bar, grappling" double champion in the military competition of the armed police.

The reason the club adopted these "fighting orphans" was also Enbo's idea. During his service, Enbo had gone down to the grassroots level to do military instruction. During his time at the grassroots level, he noticed that there were often children wandering in the mountains and on the streets.

Enbo learned that almost all of these children had no family to take care of them, some were orphans who had lost both parents, and some were too poor to care for them.

After learning about these children, Enbo was filled with worry. When he was a special police officer, he had encountered teenagers, or even children only a few years old, fighting and stealing.

"If these kids can't be well educated or guided, it's not good to say that one day they will really take the path of breaking the law." Enbo thought without worry. It was also from this time that Enbo decided to do something to help these children.
