Wei Rui (simplified Chinese: 魏锐; traditional Chinese: 魏銳; pinyin: wèi ruì, born May 25, 1991) is a Chinese Sanshou kickboxer. He is from Da Dong Xiang fight club.

Background

Wei Rui was born on May 25, 1991 into a poor rural family as the youngest of five siblings in Luyi, Henan. The financial struggles of his family along with his disinterest in attending school led to him to pursue martial arts at the Luyi Shaolin Wenwu School. Here he trained and competed in Sanda for two years until he left the school to seek employment in order to support his family. With his martial arts background, Wei managed to get a job as a security guard when he moved to Beijing which he later quit after his dissatisfaction with the state of his career. This motivated him to travel to Liaoning and train at the Liaoyang Sports School to compete in Sanda once again. After winning a number of provincial championships he was invited back to the Luyi Shaolin Wenwu School in his home province to represent them in the 2010 and 2011 Shenzhen Sanda Boxing Association Championships winning both tournaments respectively. Wei's newfound success in Sanda led him to make the transition into competing internationally under kickboxing rules.[3]
