Wu Lin Feng

Wu Lin Feng, also known as WLF, is a Chinese martial arts competition televised by Henan Television, and it is described as the longest running martial arts program in China. Since 2007 the competition has become more international, bringing in challengers from other countries and filming bouts abroad, including in Germany, New Zealand and the United States. Its participants have included K-1 fighters, mixed martial arts professionals, Muay Thai fighters and wushu and sanda practitioners. In 2013 it was ranked among the top 100 most viewed satellite and cable television programs in China. Over the years it added several strands: a youth kickboxing tournament called New Generation, launched in 2015 to find new talent, and a mixed martial arts series that began in 2016 as E.P.I.C., short for Elimination Power In Cage, and was renamed W.A.R.S. in 2017. It has run a first China-Canada kickboxing championship in 2017 and has had a partnership with the Golden Fighter Championship of Romania since 2017. Its championship history is organised by weight limit, with world championships at 60, 63, 65, 67, 70 and 77 kilograms, alongside tournaments such as the World MAX, the Kings Super Cup and the World Cup.
