Jet Li one of the best martial artist and a Wushu champion.
I'm really a fan of Chinese martial arts which first that comes to my mind is Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and Jet Li. Those three are the biggest star in terms of martial arts in China. Among those three Jet Li is really improving the way martial arts are performed on the big screen.
I can remember that I have watched the entire series of Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China which fully illustrate and show the culture of China and its people. What really interests me is that their martial arts are fast which is not boring to watch.
Jet Li's Martial Arts Career
Jet Li started Wushu martial arts when he was eight at a school summer course. He then attended some non-sparring wushu event and after that, he joined Beijing Wushu Team where he made some display of Wushu martial arts at All China Games. He learns really fast and developed his talent from the best-renowned coaches.
He joined tournaments where he manages to compete with adults in Chinese Wushu Championship where he won several gold medal and one silver medal.
He mastered several wushu techniques and using wushu weapons.
Jet Li's Film Career
After, a big success in his martial arts career, gaining fame by winning tournaments and competitions. It was then a gateway for Jet Li to be a martial arts film star where he firstly in mainland China films until he continues his career in Hong Kong. Mostly in his films, he played as a Chinese folk hero master.
He then proceeds with creating American film where he first cast as a villain in Lethal Weapon 4 and after the succeeding films he then acquires the leading role. It was a very successful career for Jet Li.
My Opinion about Jet Li's Life
He started martial arts in such a young age where he put passion and love. This is the best formula that put together to be a successful martial artist as well as his movie career in martial arts.
His name is now marked in martial arts where he will be remembered by the people of China on his contribution to martial arts.
