name all the celebrities that studies or have studied MA before?
chad mcqueen, wes snipes, matt damon, van damme, sammo hung, jackie chan, billy zabka, billy blanks, don wilson, brian genesse, sarah michelle gellar - the list is literally endless - why are you asking?
adrian paul, joy bisco, ralph macchio
just curious
Jim Carrey-BJJ.
Does not make a lot of sense to name the celebrities known for their screen MA.

sure it does, as they had to train, either before or during what they filmed, and may still do it after.
elvis presley
SevenStar, you missed Jet Li and Steven Seagal (omg)!
James Cagney. Showed his skill in one of his movies too. saw a clip on TV.
Vladimir Putin and the late Yves Klein
I have a feeling
that Michael jackson did some Chinese style.
out of all the celebs that do martial arts, i feel that wesley snipes has shown the most improvement. it’s like, when passenger 57 came out he looked phony back in those days. his latest movies like blade 1 and blade 2 (definetly B2) show that he’s actually committed some time to his MA practicing (and gotten off the drugs i hope). i think it was when i saw money train that i saw the first sign of a decent fight scene with him. he is by no means the best fighter in hollywood, but pretty good. he recently helped organize/host a big tv program commemorating the world’s best martial artists.
on that note, who would u guys say IS the best fighter in movies today? I’m betting jet li would kick all their as$es
jet li is a superb athlete
but movie stars are movie stars acting in a fantasy world, not fighters. So my answer would be, none of them can kick ass.
In the movies? Well, I’ll have to say that it’s Jet Li.
I recently saw a Comedy Central show with the guy from
"King of Queens’'. Big guy, don’t know his name as I don’t
watch a lot of network tv.
anyway, during the skit he went into a horse stance as part of
the gag. imo it was a practiced horse and not just mimicry.
and at the end of the show he saluted the crowd with the
traditional open hand over the fist salute, again imo, practiced
not mimicry.
Anyone got any knowledge of this actor and his training?
kathy
right, Kevin James, I knew it was two first names
anyway, it is purely my opinion that the horse stance was
one he had at least trained a little. there was an fluidness
to how he dropped into it and stepped out of it.
there’s probably a lot of actors/actresses that maybe train a bit
but we never hear of it because they aren’t actions stars.
