The second time I saw Sanda King Baoligao was at the press conference of the new Sanda King (World Super Sanda King Championship) on March 25 this year, a simple white T with a sapphire blue suit, except for a slightly blessed body, the whole person still looks so energetic. Low-key, simple is the first impression of Baoligao to everyone, without the arrogance of youth, but also faded the domineering in the ring, the current "prairie pride" is amiable Bao coach, busy Bao boss, generous Bao big brother, happy Bao Dad.
Baoligao was born in 1980 in the steppe of zhelim league in Inner Mongolia. "Bo'er only Jin" is the surname of genghis Khan's family, known as the golden family by the people of the Mongolian steppe, after using the Han surname is "Bao", Baoligao surname Bao, the full name is Bao Baoligao. In this grassland rich in heroes, Baoligao inherited the fighting genes of his father's taming horse and wrestling strong man, and won the supreme honor of Chinese martial arts with a pair of iron fists and fast wrestling techniques of eighteen falls, and a generation of Sanda kings stepped out of here.
Looking back at the early career of Sanda Wang Baoligao, it can really be described as a half-life of fighting horses and full of pride. Influenced by his father in the "Prairie Fighter" at an early age, Baoligao developed a brave and resolute personality from an early age. Later, he entered the sports school and was fortunate to be selected by a generation of Confucian marshals Zhao Xuejun to undergo systematic sanda training. The training level of the Mengmeng Sanda team in those years was very difficult, but the more arduous it was, the more it could cultivate talents, and the early "Zhao Jiajun" was formed. Later, due to objective reasons, Coach Zhao Xuejun ran away from Xi'an, and the brothers of Master Baoli also followed the teacher to the Xi'an Sports Academy for training.
During the Sanda King period, the Inner Mongolia team was full of masters, and Baoligao was the "treasure of the town team" in this team, not only won the middleweight championship of the 2002-2003 Sanda King Championship, but also won the third Sanda King and the undifferentiated "King of Kings" title. In those years, watching the Baoligao competition, watching the powerful iron fist blow, watching the gorgeous hugging and falling of the clouds and flowing water, all kinds of skills were natural, so that countless viewers had to marvel: this is the model of China's sanda textbook! However, the most exciting and applauded boxing fans was the one in Bangkok, Thailand in 2003, where Sanda King Baoli Gao whipped his legs KO Muay Thai King to usher in a new era of Chinese Sanda against professional Muay Thai.
In 2003, the 4th Sino-Thai Championship was held in Bangkok, Thailand, and the entire match totaled five matches, the first four Chinese Sanda and Muay Thai won two games each, playing 2:2, Baoli High Pressure Axis played to win a game, and his opponent was Sita poke Lupaba, known as the "King of the Knee of the North Biao", the pressure was self-evident. Before going on the field, the coach told Baoligao that if you want to fight away, you must KO if you want to win, and the reason for this must be "well known". After the first round of the battle, Baoligao was still judged by the points in the case of obvious superiority, so the only way to fight back and convince the other party was KO. In the end, Baoligao hit the opponent's head with a left whip leg followed by a left straight fist, knocking the "Beibiao Knee King" to the ground, the opponent's limbs twitched on the spot, And baoligao became the first Chinese of the KO Muay Thai king in Thailand, completely breaking the myth of muay thai being undefeated for five hundred years.
At this point, the prestige of "Prairie Pride" Baoligao was written into the most glorious page of the history of Chinese sanda, and this inspiring leg was still constantly mentioned by people in countless bloody nights after that, and Baoligao also became another insurmountable supreme peak in the history of Chinese sanda after Liu Hailong.
Although after the game, there was news on the Internet that the "North Biao Knee King" was kicked into a vegetative state by Baoligao on the spot, and some people said that he died after the rescue was ineffective. For these exaggerated rumors, Baoligao himself once said in an interview with this author: At that time, the opponent was indeed seriously injured, but only later he never got into the professional ring to play, but engaged in coaching and other related work. At that time, Baoligao did not kick his opponent to death, he only kicked and broke the heart of a Muay Thai king who was not willing to end this way.
Around 2005, Baoligao, who had made great achievements in the field of sanda and free combat, decided to enter the MMA arena and followed his teammates Zhang Tiequan, Ao Hailin, Dai Shuanghai and others to Beijing to learn MMA, becoming the first Chinese players to contact and promote the sport. During this period, Polarigo not only further strengthened his sanda and standing techniques, but also strengthened the study of ground and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Soon, the fighting talent of the "Prairie Proud Son" was revealed, and he maintained a proud record of total victory in the hero list of the famous mixed martial arts events in China at that time. The reason why Baoligao has been respected by the younger generations in the circle so far is not only because he has created brilliance in the athlete period, but also because he has worked deeply in this field after retiring, low-key and pragmatic to cultivate new talents. Li Jingliang, the most outstanding UFC athlete in China, was created by Baoligao in his early years, and until now, every time Jingliang goes out to the field and after the competition, he will return to the division to express his gratitude to the master.
In 2014, Baoligao established the "Baoligao International Fighting Training Base" in Beijing, which currently has more than fifty professional athletes, the youngest of whom is 14 years old and the oldest 20, from all over the country. Once, when I was communicating with a staff member of the Baoligao base, I learned that many children in the base could not afford training and accommodation expenses due to special family circumstances or other factors, so Baoligao waived their tuition fees, and even went to help them buy living and training supplies. It is reported that the Baoligao training base also has a special organic vegetable plantation, in order to allow all students to get better nutritional guarantees.
Although Coach Bao rarely expresses it, he is very attentive to the students at the base. Develop a training plan, get hands-on guidance... Until now, Baoligao, who has been nearly confused for nearly a year, can occasionally accompany the trainees to easily run 20,000 meters. Casually open the short film taken in Coach Bao's mobile phone and can't help but sigh: Baoligao just stood quietly in the training hall like that, looking at the past affectionately, a circle of small players are training hard, fists and legs like the wind, sweat like rain... Perhaps in a few winters and summers, these students will gradually grow stronger, and the veteran Baoligao will take them to the arena with them. They will exchange a little bit of sweat for the trophies of victory in the future, and will also use one punch and one leg to beat out the charm of Chinese sanda, just as the slogan on the wall of the base reads: Water the fruits of victory with hard sweat! And at that time, I thought that Baoligao must be happy, he just watched his children fight in the ring, just like the proud man of the grassland who crossed the sea, the years turned, and his heart was more peaceful.
Writing here, I thought of The Words of Baoligao again: "Like Sanda, Sanda is a fighting confrontation between two people, I think it is very real, real, not a little false, to rely on strength, no strength will be defeated, knocked down, so it is necessary to rely on strength for dialogue." This is a passage from the heart of Baoligao, who is not good at words, in his opinion, the real sanda and fighting must be played by strength. And what he is quietly cultivating and persevering now is not to be able to say with a clear conscience when he looks back: You see, these children are worthy of being the apprentices of Sanda Wang Baoligao!
Finally, Polygo also said that although free fighting and mixed martial arts now have a great impact on Sanda, as a person who has become famous in Sanda and benefited from the Sanda King Event, he has witnessed a process of China's Sanda development: "We don't have to follow the rules of others, Sanda is to integrate the best fighting techniques, and we should unswervingly follow our own path." "In the heart of Baoligao, I especially hope to have an event like the "Sanda King" of the year to be the leader, I hope that Sanda will have its own top event as soon as possible, and the new Sanda King (World Super Sanda King Championship) that has returned will once again show the charm of China's Sanda to the world, and create our own national Sanda event brand, on October 28, 2017, Beijing Olympic Sports Center, we witnessed together!
