Chan Kong-sang, famously known to us as Jackie Chan is the world renowned martial arts icon. He has been a successful actor, director, producer, action choreographer, stuntman, etc. He is well known in Asia as well as in the West for his perfect comic timing and his impeccable fighting style.

Even after breaking and injuring almost every part of his body, Chan is known to have performed all of his stunts on his own. He has acted in more than 100 Hong Kong as well as Hollywood movies, out of which more than 10 were his own directorial ventures.

He has acted in famous movies like ‘Rush Hour’, ‘Rush Hour2’, ‘Shanghai Knights’, ‘Shanghai Noon’, ‘The Tuxedo’, ‘The Karate Kid’, etc. and has been well proclaimed for each one of them.

He started his career as a child artist in Hong Kong cinema and his talent and hard work soon made him a known figure in Hollywood. In 2012, at the Cannes Film Festival, he declared that he is taking semi-retirement from the action movies as he needs to take care of his body now.

Joe Lewis quote, “If Bruce Lee wasn’t the greatest martial artist of all time, then certainly he is the number one candidate” suffices Bruce Lee’s contribution as a martial artist to the world.

A film actor and instructor of the combat practices, he gained a worldwide status in a short span of life and soon became one of the most influential martial artists of all time. Born in an affluent family, Lee gained entry into films long before he realized the same and soon became a famous child actor.

Acting and martial arts went hand in hand as he turned to a martial art instructor. However, it was his relocation to Hong Kong and association with films that elevated the popularity of both him as an actor and martial arts as a combat practice.

His films created box office records, eventually changing the way martial arts and films related to it were looked upon by the world.

Lee is accredited with the formulation of Jeet Kune Do, (The Way of the Intercepting Fist), a new form of martial art which was quite different from the traditional and rigid form in matters of practicality, flexibility, speed, and efficiency.
