Zhang Ziyi & Maggie Cheung aka Falling Snow and Moon

[kiwi]

Both Zhang Ziyi and Maggie Cheung appear in the film Hero...as the 2 female characters. I have been searching-without luck-all over the internet to find out what style of martial arts they studied...does anyone have any idea?

wushu would be my guess.

Maggie Cheung has absolutely no martial arts experience whatsoever. I think that Zhang Ziyi may have some Wushu, maybe just movie martial arts though. I know she did ballet.

I find that absouletly hard to believe that she has no training what so ever ...okay maybe she didn't 'train' but what style did she learn for this film?

I haven't heard anything else. From what I heard though, she has no prior experience, so I'm assuming they just taught her some basic sword techniques. It is somewhat plausible that she learned some techniques with the jian without learning a martial art. With Jet Li there though, I would expect that she would have learned wushu techniques, because I believe Li won a Wushu broadsword title.

Maggie doesn't know any marital art.

 

Zhang study, Chinese opera martial art, which is for show not for go.

 

Jet Li is National martial art champion in China (full contacts), he also Majoring in martial art in (I think) Bejin University, China. Where he has to master 18 traditional chinese weapons besides non-weapon art.
