Like what you saw in the first trailer for Way of the Warrior, RADII STUDIOS’ two-part documentary on China’s robust MMA scene? Then get a load of the second trailer:

With mere days to go until the worldwide premiere of Way of the Warrior on April 13, the official teasers are a great way to get familiarized with some recurring faces in the film: Song Yadong (宋亚东), Shi Ming (石铭), and Qiu Lun (求伦) — three rising Chinese MMA talents who should be on every UFC fan’s radar.

“China has a long martial arts tradition, but it’s new to mixed martial arts,” comments Director Billy Starman, whose Homework Productions coproduced the documentary alongside Executive Producer Brian Wong and RADII STUDIOS. “In making this documentary, I hope people can see the big potential of MMA in China and can celebrate the great value of sportsmanship.”

From China’s rural countryside to the nation’s pulsing metropolises to the great US of A, Way of the Warrior takes viewers on a journey to unpack the experiences, triumphs, and gut-punch setbacks of Chinese MMA fighters.
