The interview with Ma Yuwei was held at the Yichan Taoist Hall in Chengdu, where he once said that it was not only a martial arts hall, but also a "jianghu" created by a "martial artist" with a kind of "righteous spirit".

With black-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and light-colored jeans, Ma Yuwei's first impression was actually somewhat polite and polite, not as fierce as he imagined a martial arts practitioner; but on closer inspection, there was no lack of fortitude and tenacity between his eyebrows.
"Second Master Guan's loyalty and benevolence and courage are the most important qualities for people who practice martial arts." The first thing he did when he walked into the Taoist Hall was to pay homage to Guan Gong. A glimmer of incense, today's interview began in this smoke.
A historical weapon fighting event that restores the ancient battlefields of China
Speaking of Ma Yuwei, we have to mention "Ancient Battle Soul". On February 4 this year, at the 2018 brand conference of "cross-border integration and layout of the future" of the Domain hemei Group, a surging stage duel made "Ancient War Soul" enter everyone's sight, as the publisher of "Ancient War Soul", more people also recognized Ma Yuwei.
Talking about this event, something shiny under his eyes came out, and he quickly opened the conversation box.

"I'm actually quite worried about the current development of traditional Chinese martial arts, because there is so much chaos." In Ma Yuwei's cognition, traditional Chinese martial arts are actually technical experience accumulated in continuous fighting and fighting on the battlefield, and the source of traditional Chinese martial arts is the "battlefield martial arts" based on cold weapons, but in the actual development process, traditional Chinese martial arts have slowly deviated from the "actual combat" route, and gradually showed some "tricks and racks" trends.
"I want to make a name for traditional Chinese martial arts." This is a sentence that Ma Yuwei repeatedly mentioned in the interview, "And "Ancient Battle Soul" is to restore the form of battle on the ancient battlefields in Chinese history, carry forward the traditional Chinese martial arts, and tell everyone that Chinese martial arts are not 'flower racks', but truly practical martial arts." He said that he was originally a martial arts practitioner, and even was evaluated by the outside world as a "martial fool", and it was his ideal and responsibility to do such an event.
When it came time to talk about energy, Ma Yuwei got up and set up a posture, one move at a time.
Ma Yuwei improvised the relationship between marksmanship and boxing
In order to ensure the historical facts and standardization of the equipment of the "Ancient Battle Soul" event, Ma Yuwei also specially formed an "expert armor-making team". Through data research and excavation of physical evidence, they specially developed and produced armor and cold weapons from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, based on the cultural background of Chengdu and the rich historical and cultural resources of the Three Kingdoms, his team is actively exploring the restoration of historical armor in the Three Kingdoms period, and they hope to "be able to display the culture of the Three Kingdoms in the form of weapons and fighting."
Ancient Warrior Spirits
"As a Chinese historical weapon fighting event, our goal is to build a brand of China's historical weapon fighting professional league and gradually gain official recognition." Speaking of the development of this event, Ma Yuwei looked a little confident and a little determined, "In fact, the most fundamental thing is to find a new direction for the development of traditional Chinese martial arts." ”
A "martial artist" dedicated to promoting traditional Chinese martial arts
"I grew up in Chengdu, don't look at the Chengdu people on the surface of the pursuit of comfort and comfort, in fact, there are flesh and blood in their bones." Ma Yuwei fiddled with the "simple knife" that he was going to use in the battle of the Roman kingdoms, and told everyone about his journey of learning martial arts.
At the age of 6, he began to learn traditional Chinese martial arts, and Ma Yuwei spent his entire childhood in knives, guns, sticks and various fist and foot routines, which laid a certain foundation for him to learn martial arts. "When I was sixteen or seventeen years old, I began to learn modern martial arts such as sanda and fighting, and when I was in college, I came into contact with traditional Chinese arts such as tai chi and bagua palm, and systematically studied them. Only then did I open the door to the principles of the Art of TheOry of TheOry. ”
"Later, I read more books on the principles of traditional Chinese martial arts, hoping to compare and distinguish the original appearance of traditional Chinese martial arts." Ma Yuwei's eyes fell on the shelves of the martial arts hall, full of several layers of books, decorated with martial arts that continued the entire youth of martial arts, "When I myself encountered setbacks, it was also martial arts that gave me spiritual support, allowing me to find myself in the trough and support my progress." It can be said that without martial arts, there would be no me now. ”
In order to realize his dream of carrying forward traditional Chinese martial arts, and also for the integration of traditional martial arts and competitive events, "Ancient Battle Soul" came into being.
Speaking of the title sponsorship of the Chinese team of "Ancient Battle Soul" to participate in the competition of the Battle of the Roman Kingdoms Botn 2018, Ma Yuwei has great confidence in this expedition, "The Ancient Battle Soul and the Battle of the Nations Botn actually have a lot in common in concept, and being able to take the lead in organizing this year's Chinese team to participate is also a good opportunity to learn and learn. ”
In early May, more than a dozen members of the Chinese team from Beijing, Shanghai, Xinjiang and other parts of the country will go to Rome, Italy, to participate in the Battle of the Nations from May 3 to 6, botn 2018, when two Chengdu members, including Ma Yuwei, will also go to the competition.
However, Ma Yuwei did not expect to gain in rank for this expedition to Rome, he still hoped that "Ancient Battle Soul" could go to the world and attract outstanding national team members from all over the world to participate in it; he also hoped that in the process, he could promote the worldwide dissemination of traditional Chinese martial arts and cold weapon culture.
"Martial arts is my lifelong pursuit, and I hope to be a lifelong martial artist who will do my best to inherit and carry forward traditional Chinese martial arts." Ma Yuwei's voice was not loud, but the words were powerful and fell on everyone's heart.
