getawaytkd Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 I saw a video of Jet li performing a wu shu form in 1978, he was performing it pretty well, now my question is, if he has been training since then, is he a master in Wu Shu?
Toby Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 He's been doing Wu shu since he was 8...So I suspect he'd be a master by now. "The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering." - Bruce Lee
UseoForce Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Just to head off anybody...let's not turn this thread into a debate of what consitutes a "master." I think we've all seen that enough . What I've seen of Li is pretty awesome. I'd like to see him fight MMA style or something though, instead of just movie scenes. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
Jersey Devil Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Let Jet Li stay in movies and kung fu competition where he belongs.He is far from being even a decent MMA fighter- he knows it and acknowleges it, which is one of the reasons I particularly like him.
cathal Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I saw an interview of Jet Li after he did a movie with DMX where he indicated all the other fighters in the film could beat him up. He indicated he felt he was a good Hollywood martial artist, and not a particularly good fighter. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
WudangDragon Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I think I saw that interview as well. . . . I think that this is just modesty as I saw a video of him sparring/training from about 1999/2001 and he was really good. . . . He is deffinatly a great martial artist and actor. . . not sure about a master though "We follow the World,The World follows Heaven,Heaven follows Tao,Tao follows the way things are."
pocketcoffee Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 master of performance?is an olympic gymnast a master gymnast?pretty much the same thing with wushu. what do i know, i'm an idiot.

WudangDragon Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Ill start looking through YouTube etc. for the video. . . . it was on a VHS one of my friends had.I'll post the link once i find it =) "We follow the World,The World follows Heaven,Heaven follows Tao,Tao follows the way things are."
Anbu Alex Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 i doubt Jet Li would ever go into mma nor would alot of ppl want him to from what i read in a Martial Mag that he's really into his budhisim practices he's more of a warrior scholar than fighter White belt for life"Destroy the enemies power but leave his life"
