Ever since he was a child, Abbas had been aghast at martial arts, but harsh economic conditions have prevented him from handling this sport. Refusing to give up, he has begun training at his home.

“For the first time when I saw Bruce Lee movies I was 8 or 9 years,” said 24-year-old for “Sputnik Darius” I really like Bruce Lee's moves. I must admit it was these movies that encouraged me to study martial arts,” he added.

Abbas at the age of 10 has begun to exercise kung fu independently. Three years ago, he started studying with a coach at a sports club, broadcasting Periscope.

I started training in my basement, with a small team. I'm still training in the basement, he said.

The actor was inspired when he began to learn the use of the nunchacus, the traditional Okinawa martial art consisting of two sticks tied by a chain or a rope.

“The most vivid memory of my life is connected to the Nunchak, I was watching a movie and playing with them, suddenly hit me in the head and for about five minutes I was unconscious”, the actor recalls.

Abbas has gained fame in Afghanistan and other states after several years ago he had published several photos on Facebook, attaching a title to “Bruce Lee was shown in Afghanistan. ”

I'm so proud that Afghans call me “Bruce Afghan Lee”, and I thank God for fulfilling my will. Give me energy, he talks./Periscopi/
