If you don't know me, it means you don't know Muay Thai. Yesterday, the "first person in Muay Thai" Yasan Clay announced his retirement on the online platform.
In competitive sports, there are not a few professional athletes who are forced to retire due to injuries, age and other factors, and it is a norm for martial arts athletes with high physical fitness requirements.
Qiu Jianliang, a featherweight leader, has a comprehensive range of fists, legs and knees, and is good at punching with his brain, ranking first in the world in 2018. In the 2019 "Glory of the Warrior" Shenzhen station, in the first round of the game, Ah Liang's right knee ligament was accidentally strained, but despite this, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on playing for three full rounds, and defeated the opponent with an absolute advantage to win.
After the game, after consultation, the injury was determined and he flew to Beijing the next morning for treatment. It is hard to imagine how Qiu Jianliang endured the pain at that time, fought with his opponent for three rounds, and won the victory. Plagued by injuries, Ah Liang was forced to choose to recuperate, but he did not leave the ring, teaching apprentices, explaining matches, and fighting.
In February, Ah Liang participated in a fight show, and the fight debut after the injury announced that he would return to the ring. Looking at this game, it can be felt that Ah Liang is in good shape, and I think that 2021 will see Qiu Jianliang have a real fighting match, just around the corner.
"Flyer" Huo Xiaolong, who has been training in Dadongxiang for 7 years, is a small-level player who grew up in the glory ring of the Warriors, and is also one of the most outstanding players of this level in China, often bringing everyone reasonable but unexpected performance.
Huo Xiaolong's game attack efficiency is very high, and it is flexible and changeable, which will not only make the opponent invincible, but also make the audience exclaim "you can also play like this". From the flying knee KO at the beginning, to the New Zealand station turning whip ko reed, and then to the Qinhuangdao station three-day moon ke KO Nikolai, Huo Xiaolong's technology has continuously evolved.
In 2020, he won a big victory, killing his opponent in three days and months, and the 80% KO rate was simply terrifying. Even though his game ended quickly, injuries were still inevitable. "Glory of the Warriors -37" New Zealand station, Huo Xiaolong Huo Xiaolong's perfect combination of punches and knees, less than two rounds of KO ended the opponent.
After the game, the coaching team accompanied Huo Xiaolong to the hospital, at this time we learned that Huo Xiaolong's right palm knuckle had been injured before the game, but he chose to ignore it, first, because it was very common to break the skin on the hand caused by the game training, and second, because the treatment would delay the game at Ziyang Station.
Never give up is the posture of the brave, whether it is Qiu Jianliang gritting his teeth and insisting, or Huo Xiaolong is not afraid of difficulties, they forget the risk of injury, they bet on their careers, because they really love the ring, their hard-working warrior spirit and professionalism, let us believe that no matter what, they will continue to fight!
