There are many feelings in this industry, some people retire as professional athletes, and then do not change their original intentions, found their own clubs; some people have won honors for the country, and then become coaches, sending more talents to China's fighting cause... However, Mr. Liu Fu, the founder of Tianjin Afu Fight Club, gave a different answer than most people.
At the age of 43, he served for two years in the 196th Division of the First Division of China's Reform and Opening Up stationed in Tianjin. In those days, he developed a keen interest in grappling martial arts training, but at that time, there was no large-scale rise in the country as a sport, and even if there was a strong love, it was difficult to find a way out. In 2005, he founded "Afu Restaurant", as of today, there are more than 20 chain stores, the company employs more than 1,000 people. And just when he had a small career and could fully enjoy life, he gave everyone a surprise at the end of 2018. At the end of 2018, Tianjin Afu Fight was officially established. At that time, he said: "I don't want to use fighting as a tool to make money, China's fighting industry is actually very unsound, I hope I can do my best to explore and develop, breakthrough and innovation as much as possible." This was what he said at that time, and it was also a promise to himself, and a promise to the entire fighting community. To this day, we can see that he is really doing it.
Club coach Zhao Huizhe has led Wei Rui, Xie Lei, Wang Pengfei, Liu Dacheng, Liu Xiangming, Ouyang Feng, Li Fengfeng and others to achieve excellent results in major competitions. At the first National Free Fighting Championship in China, he led Wei Rui and Liu Dacheng to the first place in the championship. Standing behind many world champions, the level of teaching is evident. Now, as the head coach of Afu Fight, under his leadership, many of the players of Afu Fight have achieved good results. Tianjin Afu fighter Ouyang Feng, nicknamed "Xiaoxi Poison", is known as "China's 70kg level brother". He performed well in the Kunlun League ring, and then competed in the WulinFeng Ring and achieved consecutive victories. Nowadays, he has become a hot first-line athlete in China, and the "assassin" Pan Jing, who has won four battles in the Kunlun duel ring and ko opponents three times, and has entered the top ten of China's athletes of the same level, which must be expected in the future. And what is unbelievable is Li Changbang, who recently put his opponent ko in the ring of Kunlun Decisive, fierce and neat play, and his progress speed surprised everyone!
In addition, Afu Fight is one of the few professional fight clubs in The country with team doctors. Zhang Feng, the team doctor hired by Afu Fighting, graduated from Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, worked in the infirmary of Shandong Wushu Academy, and then entered Tianjin Afu Fighting, using his years of experience to escort the team members! In life, the club is also to provide the greatest possible welfare for the athletes, after one upgrade after another, the restaurant of Afu Fight has become one of the image displays of the club. The restaurant and club are located in the Tianjin Wuqing Sports Center, and employ senior chefs who have served as chefs in senior clubs in first-tier cities for many years, so as to benefit the team members and make many people come to visit.
I have to say that today's Afu fighting is very perfect in the configuration of the club, and can provide full support for athletes from multiple angles, which is Liu Fu's responsibility as the boss. And with his persistence, the tomorrow of Ah Fu Fighting will surely be as he wishes!
