When and why did you start training for fighting? I started traditional Chinese martial arts training when I was 12. After two years I started to train Sanda and joined the Shanxi province Sanda team. When I was 16, I had my first pro MMA fight, but I wasn’t good at grappling at that time. Then I started my official MMA training at 17 years old.
Training: I don’t like to make the training schedule too tight. I prefer to enjoy the training.
