Wushu Legend Huo Yuanjia

There was a legendary Wushu master whose name was Huo Yuanjia who defended his country from westerners who were colonizing China. When he was a little boy his father Huo Endi forbade him learning Wushu because he had asthma. Against his fathers wishes Huo Yuanjia secretly practiced. As time went on Huo Yuanjia was finally allowed by his father to learn the art of Wushu. Huo Yuanjia found fame by facing his first opponent, a Russian wrestler who insulted the Chinese for not fighting him in the ring by using Wushu. His second opponent was a Irish boxer named Hercules O`Brien, the two had a disagreement with governing boxing rules so they decided that whoever knocks down the opponent wins. Hua Yuanjia was the victor. For more information go to Wikipedia.
