The sport was seen for the first time at a boxing club in South London, after being conceived by siblings James and Stewart Robinson, both keen amateur boxers and club chessplayers. Their original chessboxing club lasted for four years and its members witnessed the release of the influential 1979 Hong Kong martial arts film, "The Mystery Of Chessboxing" An image of two boxers at a chessboard was made in the late seventies at a boxing club in South London. In 1979, the Hong Kong martial arts film Mystery Of Chessboxing was released. There is no published link between the worldwide chessboxing movement and these two sources from the seventies, although a popular track by the Wu-Tang Clan from their Enter the Wu-Tang shares its name with the Hong Kong film, and brought widespread popularity to the concept. The modern concept of chess boxing was introduced in Berlin by Iepe Rubingh where it quickly developed a dedicated and enthusiastic following.
