Life
Huo Yuanjia was born in 1868 in Xiǎonán (小南) Village in Jinghai County in Tianjin, the fourth of his father Huo Endi's ten children. Huo Endi made his living by guarding caravans, as members of families with a long tradition of martial arts like the Huos often did, but the family's primary source of income was from farming. It was his father from whom Huo Yuanjia learned martial arts, specifically his family's style of Mízōngyì (迷蹤藝, literally "Lost Track Skill"). His learning of martial arts did not come by default for Huo's father did not intend him to follow his footsteps. Huo initially learned Mi Zong Quan in secrecy, until his progress was discovered by his father. In 1890, a wushu master by the name of Du came from Henan Province to visit Huo's father. His manner provoked a trial of strength with the boxers of the family. Thus, Huo competed with him and defeated Du. The bout made Huo Yuanjia famous in his village and the neighbouring areas. Huo later took jobs from a local loan collector as well as his friend in the herb trading business, who participated in Dr. Sun Yatsen's plan to overthrow the Manchurian government.
Huo is well-known for his challenge matches with foreign fighters. It was a 1901 encounter with a Russian wrestler in Xiyuan Park, Tianjin that first made Huo famous. The wrestler had openly insulted the Chinese, calling them "Asian weaklings" or "Sick Man Of the East" because no one would accept his challenge to a fight. When Huo challenged him, the Russian forfeited, suggesting that he was merely putting on a performance in order to make a living. Huo then demanded that the Russian write an apology in the newspaper, which the Russian reportedly obliged.[2]
In 1909, Huo, accompanied by his apprentices Liu Zhensheng and Zhang Wenda,[2] traveled to Shanghai to accept an open challenge posed by a British boxer named Hercules O'Brien. The match was preceded by disagreement over what rules it would be governed by. O'Brien insisted on Western boxing rules limiting attacks to punches above the waist. Huo, on the other hand, was more accustomed to the rules of Chinese leitai challenge matches, which lacked such restrictions. They finally agreed that the first person to knock down his opponent would be considered the winner; however, the match never took place and Hercules O'Brien fled the area before the date of the match.[2]
In 1910, Huo opened the Chin Woo Athletic Association (精武体操会), a martial arts school at Shanghai's north gate.[1] According to Huo's grandson, Huo's death came after the defeat of the 10[citation needed] members of the Japanese Judo team. During a subsequent dinner with his opponents, Huo's illness (perhaps tuberculosis) prompted the Japanese to offer medical help, but he suffered a severe and fatal reaction to the medication given by the Japanese doctor. Huo died approximately 70 days after the founding of the Chin Woo association[1]. It is often alleged that his death was caused by being poisoned by the Japanese, an allegation repeated by Huo's offspring[2]
