Well Supa C gave me an idea! A bright Idea, no not really.

So anyway with Mr. Miyagi in his sig made me think of this for some reason. I dont know if it has been brought up here. I know it hasnt as of late anyway.

Was wondering who do yo guys think is the best of the best in martial arts. This would be in the movies,tv,wrestling,ufc,and such that you could think of.

I am gonna have to go with Jet Li on this one. I think he has some of the most amazing abilities and raw talent to do what he does. He just amazes me at how fast he is. I think it would be awesome to see him and Bruce Lee go at it when Bruce was alive of course. So lets here some of your favorites. Here is my list.

1.Jet Li

2.Bruce Lee

3.Jackie Chan

4.Guy from the transporter, cant think of his name, but awesome non the less.

5.The great Muta

Those are just some I can think of off the top of my head. So lets add to it. Have fun!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imdaman.gif.bc6c552e19aa4ad8c47461144f40eb1a.gif jet li is awesome but nowhere near bruce lee status. bruce talked about how much he had to slow down his punchs to the camera could capture them. If bruce was alive at this day he would be quite a bit faster. If between anyone its between bruce and jackie chan. I saw and interview with him and they asked about his training, he said it was the most brutal and intence traing you could go thro, and they showed him going full speed, it was somthing else to say the least

1.bruce lee

2.jackie chan

3.jet li(close 3rd)

never heard of the breat muta and the guy in the tranporter seems pretty skilled but seem to more of a karate movie fighter rather than an expert like the top 3 i have. just my .02 cent

Jet's primary coach was Wu Bin, who served as head coach of the Beijing Wushu Team from 1964 until the early part of the 21st century. While Wu Bin started training wushu athletes at the Beijing Sports School in 1964, the Beijing Wushu Team, as it is currently known, was not formally created until 1974. Jet, himself, started training in wushu in 1971 at the age of 8 years old.

During the early years of the team Cheng Huikun and Li Jinfeng also served on the coaching staff. In addition, many other coaches and teachers, each with their own specialty and area of expertise, visited the team to help train Jet and his teammates.

Contrary to popular myth, Jet never trained at the Shaolin Temple. At the time Jet was training in wushu (late 60's and early 70's) there were no "fighting monks" living at the Shaolin Temple

Styles of Wushu

Jet specialized in the following styles:

chang quan (long fist)

dao (broadsword)

gun (staff)

fanzi quan (tumbling fist)

3-section staff

pu dao (horse chopper)

And in addition, Jet also studied the following styles (some in more depth than others).

taiji quan (the 5 main styles)

xing yi quan

bagua zhang

jian (straightsword)

qiang (spear)

zui quan (drunken fist)

tang lang quan (mantis fist)

ying zhao quan (eagle claw boxing)

zui jian (drunken sword)

shuang dao (double broadswords)

axe

battle axe

double hooks swords

fork

9 section whip

mace

hammer

talon

trident-halberd

long-handled spear

short cudgel

meteor hammer

rope dart

Competition History

The following is a brief history of Jet's wushu career:

1971: Jet begins training in wushu at an after-school program at the Beijing Sports School.

1974: Jet joins the newly created Beijing Wushu Team and begins competing on a national level.

1974: Was awarded his first Men's National All-Around Championship title at the age of 12.

1975: Men's National All-Around Championship

1976: Men's National All-Around Championship

1977: Men's National All-Around Championship

1978: Men's National All-Around Championship

1979: Retired from professional wushu competition after a knee injury where he ripped his Anterior Crutiate Ligament (ACL) doing the jump inside kick to split.

That is pretty amazing!

i think the guy from the transporters name is jason statham or sumthin like that, but here is my list (not particularly based on skills, but on how much i like their shows/movies)

1. chuck norris - walker texas ranger (one of my favs, i watch it 2x a day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif)

2. jackie chan - no more mr. nice guy

3. bruce lee - enter the dragon

4. royce gracie (i think thats how you spell it?) one of the best ufc fighters of all time

5. cung li - pride fighting (crazyiest takedowns/scisser kicks i have ever seen)

but ya, walker texas ranger is the greatest exhibition of martial arts known to man, so chuck is #1, and i was tempted to put Ranger Trivette on here also

Yeah Royce Gracie is a good one. But he is more take you down and break your arm off real quick. Norris will always have a place in my heart.

Was just reading about that Jason Statham guy. He hasnt even been doing martial arts that long. Have to say I am impressed with him in the movies though, as that was all him doing that. Not bad for him only going on 34 years old. I thought he was older than that. He has some good movies coming out.

Transporter 2

The remake of the PINK PANTHER. I cant wait to see that.

Crank

The Brazillan Job( I loved the Italian Job)
