Chongqing Wushu "Dream Team" is the best coach: he brought out five world champions and three intercontinental champions, and Kung Fu star Max Zhang was his first disciple.
Playing ju is Yi Kejian’s specialty.
The horizontal knife is heroic, and it turns to move the martial arts wind. Once upon a time, we also dreamed of the heroic spirit of "walking the world with swords".
Yi Kejian, the gold medal coach of dadukou district Experimental Primary School Youth Sports School, has not played all over the world in his 36-year education career, but has trained hundreds of martial arts talents for the country. Competition results, talent transfer, special skills of key universities … For more than 20 years in a row, he has been a unique presence in the city.
Five world champions and three intercontinental champions, including Max Zhang, a popular kung fu star, among his first disciples … Now, he has taken off his military uniform and retired to the second line.

"Those who have made great achievements in ancient times are not only talented, but also determined to persevere." Yi Kejian took this sentence of Su Shi as his motto.
On the morning of 14th, Jintian Campus of dadukou district Experimental Primary School. Yi Kejian, a 60-year-old man, is short in stature and sportswear, but his eyes are bright and heroic, and he looks much younger than his actual age.
In 1982, Yi Kejian from Dianjiang, his hometown, graduated from Chengdu Institute of Physical Education with a major in martial arts, and was assigned to Jiangbei Sports Commission to work as a martial arts coach. Four years later, dadukou district Junior Sports School introduced him, and the first batch of students, such as Max Zhang, continued to train with him.
Once hard, it is still deeply imprinted in Liu Yanyan’s mind. "In order to make achievements, we spend at least 300 days a year in the training room, eating and living with us."
Liu Yanyan, who is now the deputy director of the Wushu Sports Management Center in our city, clearly remembers that at that time, the conditions of the amateur sports school were very poor, so the master vacated his bedroom and installed several bunk beds to solve the accommodation problem of the students.
"In addition to training, he also serves as a logistics service staff, chef and homework counselor, cleaning the training ground, boiling water and cooking for us, and supervising us to finish our homework." In Liu Yanyan’s mind, Yi Kejian is both a teacher and a father.
On one occasion, Yi Kejian cooked bone soup for the children. Just as he was ready to serve it, his hand slipped and all the hot soup fell on his chest. The students were in a panic and rushed him to the hospital. Three days later, he returned to the training room with a bandage on his upper body. "At the moment when the master appeared, we all cried."
Yi’s family, which is famous for its flowers, keeps piles of data collected by year, and Yi Kejian keeps it in good order. Among them, Dadukou Literature and History Materials, as an "official reading", gave him a four-page special introduction with the title of "Martial Arts Master".
In July, 2003, the personnel of dadukou district Junior Sports School was adjusted, and Yi Kejian was appointed as the vice principal to take charge of the overall work of the school. Immediately, he took office and began to transform the software and hardware environment of the school.
First of all, we decided to introduce Wushu Sanda events and excellent coaches, increase the creation of Wushu training bases according to market demand, and have successively become the "Wushu reserve talent training base" of the municipal Wushu sports management center.
In order to learn unique skills, find gaps and dig into details, he bought a video camera twice at his own expense, took it all over the country to learn from the classics and seek treasures, recorded valuable video materials of excellent players, and came back to ponder over it again and again.
In March, 2008, dadukou district Education Commission merged the district junior sports school with the district experimental primary school, and Yi Kejian took the post of vice principal of the district experimental primary school. Li Zhu, the principal of dadukou district Experimental Primary School, as a partner and leader, also agreed with Yi Kejian.
Although he has already taken the leadership position, Yi Kejian insists on first-line coaching and serves as the head coach of the Wushu routine team. He has a special and deep affection for the children who come to learn martial arts, and he can’t give up.
Duoguiguan, a disciple under his name
Honorary certificates at all levels are 100 Yu Ben.
All kinds of trophies are dazzling
The school has a special "road to champion"
"People who are martial arts focus on virtue and quality, and they should be both civil and military." This is a sentence that Yi Kejian educates all students. We should not only practice martial arts hard, but also learn cultural lessons well. Yi Kejian has special requirements for his students.
In 1995, Liu Yanyan, a martial arts player from dadukou district Junior Sports School, represented China in the third World Wushu Championship held in the United States and won the women’s fencing world Wushu championship. In 2001, she won the women’s duet gold medal in the Wushu competition of the 9th National Games, becoming the first person in our city to win the gold medal in the National Games.
After Liu Yanyan, Tang Lu, Yuan Mengjie, Li Xinjia and Gu Junxia successively stood on the podium of the world Wushu champion, while Li Yonghu, Xu Peng and Tang Lu took the intercontinental Wushu champion trophy into their arms. Among them, Tang Lu is the double crown.
He has participated in Wushu competitions at or above the municipal level, with more than 2,000 champions. Gradually, from obscurity, dadukou district Junior Sports School became infamous. That is, from then on, every year, the school sends talents to professional teams in the country, ranking first. In terms of various competition results, it won the first total score of the group for more than 20 years in a row.
The "National High-level Sports Reserve Talent Base" project school, the first batch of schools (martial arts) with sports and arts characteristics in the city, has been rated as "the advanced group of martial arts training in the city" for more than 10 years in a row, leading the way in the city’s competition results, talent delivery and special measures of key universities.
School students’ honors such as world champions and intercontinental champions are sorted out.
After his retirement, Max Zhang, his chief disciple and a national martial arts player, entered the film and television circle and married Hong Kong movie star Ada Choi. With his outstanding performance in the film "The Master", he won the 33rd Hong Kong Film Awards and became a hot kung fu star.
On holidays, Max Zhang will call to express his condolences to his master, including his family situation. More communication is to stay on WeChat. Recently, Max Zhang told Yi Kejian that on December 21st, his kung fu masterpiece "The Legend of Ip Man: Zhang Tianzhi" will be released, so the master must remember to watch it.
"He is my first mentor on the road of martial arts, and I am very grateful for his teaching." When the reporter asked about Yi Kejian’s position in his heart, Max Zhang expressed gratitude.
Looking forward to excellent students going straight to Peking University and Tsinghua.
Time is a knife that waits for no man, and it makes people old.
I don’t forget to communicate with my disciples on WeChat in my spare time.
In 1995, Liu Yanyan won the world championship trophy; This summer, Tang Lu embraced the gold medal of Wushu Nanquan in the Asian Games. This represents the starting point and ending point of Yi Kejian’s "glory road" respectively.
Because of his outstanding teaching achievements, hundreds of personal honors have poured in.
Since 1990, Yi Kejian has been successively awarded the honorary titles of advanced individual in Wushu training, senior middle school teacher, advanced individual, special-grade teacher, excellent coach, first famous teacher and model worker in Sichuan and Zhuhai. Among them, the certificates of special teachers and famous teachers are directly issued by the municipal government.
In September this year, Yi Kejian officially retired. In order to thank Yi Kejian for his long-term hard work and remarkable achievements, dadukou district Experimental Primary School set up a "Champion Road" in Jintian Campus, and carved five bronze statues led by Liu Yanyan.
Martial arts exercises have long been an indispensable class exercise in the whole school.
I can’t let go of the children who accompany me day and night. Yi Kejian also comes to school from time to time. During the interview in the morning, Yi Kejian did not forget to take the stage to teach teachers and students the essentials of action. The baton was handed over to Yao Xi, the vice president. Unfinished wish, which he hopes can be realized in the near future.
Yi Kejian also has a dream in his heart, that is, he hopes that the junior sports school, as a secondary school, can also cultivate outstanding students who can be directly admitted to Tsinghua Peking University.
In fact, in recent years, there are many outstanding students who have been admitted to famous universities and key universities from junior sports schools. World champion Yuan Mengjie was also recommended to graduate students by Lanzhou University.
However, a teacher should aim high. In Yi Kejian’s view, the threshold for entering Tsinghua Peking University as a martial arts specialty student is about one third lower than that of ordinary students, which means that dreams are not out of reach.
Wushu routines, collective events, collective basic skills … In the honor showroom, all kinds of trophies engraved with "first place" shine brightly. Looking at the photo with his disciples on the wall, Yi Kejian burst into tears.
As the only district and county junior sports school that has cultivated world champions so far, it can be called the "dream team" of Chongqing youth Wushu.
The 600-square-meter training hall, with more than 100 students in two classes of routine and Sanda, has handed over the heavy mission with Yi Kejian. Now, Yao Xi is shouldering it.
