Of these martial arts film stars, which is your favorite?


 Bruce Lee was one of the most influential martial artist of the 20th century. His movie Enter The Dragon (1973) was one of the films that brought the genre into mainstream Western acceptance. His fame also helped popularize Wing Chun, the martial art that he originally trained in, and Jeet June Do, the martial art that he later created based on one's own personal preferences, applying modified techniques from various styles.

 Jackie Chan is renowned for his blend of martial arts and slapstick comedy, but has directed, action directed and starred in over 50 films of almost all conceivable genres. Despite intensive martial arts training from a Chinese Opera school, Jackie often tells people that he is an actor, not a martial artist.

Jet Li won the Chinese national wushu championships five times in a row before becoming a movie star.

 Chuck Norris learned Tang Soo Do (tangsudo), a martial art similar to taekwondo, while in Korea as well as his 8th Dan Black Belt in taekwondo. Norris also trained with Bruce Lee. Chuck Norris created the mixed martial art, Chun Kuk Do.

I've always liked Jackie Chan's slapstick style, and really admired him for doing his own stunts which I have no chance of doing
