Mention the "Chinese Tiger" Yang Jianping, boxing fans first think of his KO moment in the ring, fans may remember his footage with Jackie Chan in "Vanguard". In 2021, Yang Jianping has a new identity. On January 24th, the third meeting of the 7th Member Congress of Hunan Wushu Association was held in Hunan Sports Vocational College. The congress reorganized the leading body of the Provincial Armed Forces Association, and Yang Jianping was elected executive vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Armed Forces Association.
For Yang Jianping, the new identity means new responsibility: "Someone asked me, you are so young, can you do a good job in the work of the Armed Forces Association?"
I think age is only one aspect, what is important is that I have the desire to contribute to the development of Chinese martial arts. Special thanks to the leaders of the Armed Forces Association and the representatives for their trust in me, giving me such a platform and opportunity to contribute to the development of Hunan martial arts and the promotion of healthy Hunan. ”
Before becoming executive vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Armed Forces Association, Yang Jianping had many identities. Since the age of 13, Yang Jianping has worked hard to win glory for his hometown and China in the boxing ring. He practiced wrestling, boxing, sanda, and finally MMA. "I've won boxing and sanda, and when I saw mixed martial arts, I found that the sport was a special fit for me to play the various techniques I've practiced in the ring." On the mixed martial arts stage, Yang Jianping became the most market appealing fighting star, and won the first "golden belt" in 2009.
After that, Yang Jianping was not only active in the ring, but also tried to promote martial arts and fighting in more ways outside the ring. "Fighting has changed my life, and I hope to do my part for China's fighting industry to create a fighting brand that inspires positive energy and carries forward the spirit of martial arts, so that people with fighting dreams can have a stage to chase their dreams." This initial intention allowed Yang Jianping to create an emerging Chinese fighting brand with the full support of the Hunan Provincial Sports Bureau - "Boxing Star Era". At the same time, he also has multiple identities: the image ambassador of the Hunan Wushu Association, the head coach of the Hunan Provincial Sanda Team, the mixed martial arts instructor of the Hong Kong Army... "I left Hunan at the age of 15 and now come back to become the head coach of the Hunan Provincial Sanda team. My childhood dream was to become a SWAT officer, and now I am a SWAT coach. I hope to use my own strength to help Hunan martial arts, sanda, and martial arts have a better development. ”
It is this kind of heart to contribute to the Hunan martial arts fighting industry, so that Yang Jianping won the trust of the leaders and representatives of the Hunan Wushu Association. To promote the martial arts fighting industry, Yang Jianping also has an advantage - the star effect. With his outstanding skills and handsome image, Yang Jianping was favored by the film and television circles and participated in the action film "Vanguard" directed by Tang Jili and international film star Jackie Chan. In addition to movies, Yang Jianping also shows super influence in the field of short videos.
On Douyin and Kuaishou and several other platforms, Yang Jianping has gained more than 10 million fans, whether it is a series of short videos on fighting and self-defense, a series of short videos to discourage uncivilized behavior, or a daily training short video, all of which have received tens of millions of plays, of which the single video of Douyin has exceeded 55 million views and received 1.6 million likes. The topic of Douyin Yang Jianping was played 220 million times.
"In fact, over the years, whether I am playing games, doing event brands, shooting action movies or short videos, there has always been one goal that has not changed, that is, to spread Chinese martial arts and promote the spirit of shangwu." I've never changed that direction. As the executive vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Armed Forces Association, I will work harder to spread the positive energy of martial arts in the future, and I hope that everyone will continue to support me. ”
