If you are a martial arts fan and appreciate female athletes, then a viral video on social media will be a treat for you. Time for some Black Widow-ish moves, takedowns and action reminiscent of Hong Kong martial arts movies. The video features Chinese influencer Jiang Yuhuan, a retired Chinese gymnast, taking on three male attackers with her fierce martial arts moves.
The video shows off some amazing Taekwondo moves like the spinning heel kick and roundhouse kick. Although Jiang is renowned as a Taekwondo queen, the video also features some judo as well as a final Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu takedown as well, demonstrating her prowess in all these martial arts. The video is sped up a little bit but the power and athleticism of Jiang is undeniable. Take a look at the video:

Jiang Yuhuan first became famous when a video of her foiling a store robbery, captured by CCTV footage, was shared online. It was later revealed to be staged but Jiang had already won hearts with her martial arts skills. Since then, she has posted many choreographed fights on her social media handle, mostly demonstrating the Korean martial art of Taekwondo. She has won plaudits from legendary martial artist Bruce Lee’s daughter Shannon Lee and current-day martial arts sensation Scott Adkins.
During the worldwide COVID-19 lockdown, her social media handle mysteriously disappeared. After a hiatus, third-party social media handles started sharing her videos online. One of them, Gotham MMA, disclosed that due to the laws in China, Jiang had to leave Western social media sites. The handle stated that her official fan page would continue to share her martial arts videos on Instagram but Jiang would not be able to make a proper return as it would be flouting Chinese laws.
A couple of Instagram handles have since then, been sharing Jiang Yuhuan’s videos regularly on social media.
