"The only news that comes from Afghanistan is about war ... I am happy that my story is a positive one,"Recently the Videos and photos of Abbas Alizada, 20, posted on the Facebook page "Bruce Hazara" show him performing back flips and striking Lee's famous poses. They blazed through Afghanistan's small Internet community this week, part of a publicity burst he hopes will catapult him to broader fame.
Alizada is from a poor family of 10 children. His parents could not afford the fees at an academy of Wushu, a Chinese mixed martial art, but the trainer took him under his wing.
Alizada's recent success on the Internet and at a martial arts tournament in Kabul reflects some of the changes in the country since the U.S.-led intervention toppled the Taliban after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Helped by the spread of TV and the Internet, Afghanistan has witnessed a rapid rise in interest in sports under the government that succeeded the hardline Islamists, who had banned television and many sports and martial arts.
