Zhao Zilong, nicknamed "Invincible Wind and Fire Dragon", was born in Inner Mongolia in 1981.
In high school, Zhao Zilong originally practiced discus, and then under the recommendation of his teacher, he entered the Inner Mongolia Sports Team in 1998 to receive sanda training.
At that time, Zhao Zilong did not particularly understand Sanda. After training and competition full of passion, he gradually fell in love with the sport and grew all the way to the level of a king.

As an undifferentiated Sanda King, Zhao Zilong's path to the Sanda King Championship is extremely difficult. Compared with other players of the same level, Zhao Zilong is really too thin. Before each competition, Zhao Zilong often needs to drink several large bottles of water before weighing to reach the standard.
However, in the ring of the no-difference level, zhao Zilong, who weighs less, makes many opponents feel tricky. In the 2002 Season of the Chinese Martial Arts Sanda King Championship, with his fierce divine leg stunts, Zhao Zilong won the Sanda King's 85 kg or more champion as he wished, and won the honor of the King of Divine Legs.

During the competition, Zhao Zilong also participated in the filming of the film "Sanda" by the well-known Chinese director Xu Ke, in which Zhao Zilong played the tragic hero Tie Dalong, which was popular all over the country for a time.
You know, because the rhythm of filming is very tight, Zhao Zilong not only has no time to train, but even normal rest has become a problem. But the result of the game, Zhao Zilong did not disappoint. Everyone cheered for him, and the hardship behind it was only known to Zhao Zilong himself.
At the end of the 2006 National Games, Zhao Zilong left the Sanda ring with some regrets and switched to mixed martial arts. Since then, he has participated in events such as the Hero List. In 2006, in the finale of the Hero List, Zhao Zilong defeated Liu Wenluo, who was known as "China's Little Lewis".
In 2011, Zhao Zilong, who worships Bruce Lee and is obsessed with boxing, officially worships under the door of boxing and becomes the third generation of Bruce Lee.
In 2012, the 31-year-old Zhao Zilong received an invitation from "Rui Wu" to start his comeback battle, and in the annual finals, Zhao Zilong crossed his opponent and won, becoming the first 93 kg overall champion of the Rui Wu Mixed Martial Arts Competition.

During this period, Zhao Zilong developed a keen interest in traditional martial arts. He once said: "Whether it is free fighting or traditional martial arts, it is a kind of body language for people to strengthen their bodies and defend themselves. You can call it 'Kung Fu' or whatever name it is, and these titles are just given to it by man. The high or low level is related to the physical quality and understanding of the practitioner himself, and is directly proportional to the time and effort spent on it. ”
From Sanda to mixed martial arts, to disciples of boxing and traditional Chinese martial arts. Referring to the martial art of Sanda, Zhao Zilong once said: "The spirit of Sanda is also the spirit of our martial arts, which is a national spirit of self-improvement, and I think that one day, China's Sanda will definitely return to the peak of martial arts as it was ten years ago." ”
