Are your ready for action?

Among all the remarkable action / martial arts movie stars in the past 20 years, some of them truly out as Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris probably Jean-Claude Van Damme.
(Perhaps you have your own favorites, have not been mentioned here. Let me know by sending your comments.)

There are movie stars but people remember and are openly household names.

A martial artist and performer as always impressed film is Li Lianjie.

"Who the hell is that?" You ask.

I admit I also was known by his stage name Jet Li.

For many years, Jet Li has worked hard to get where he is now in his career.

And, obviously, their hard work and determination have paid for him and his family.

Especially considering that his mother had to pull it somehow, your discomfort and two sisters through a widow in Beijing during the sixties.

As a teenager, Jet Li for rigorously trained in Wushu several years, winning numerous titles and national gold medals.

Jet Li became an acclaimed member of senior national team even performed Wushu by then President Richard Nixon in the United States.

In those days it was an honor and an extraordinary opportunity for the Chinese to be able to travel abroad and even more to perform in front of "the leader of the free world." Jet Li was still a teenager at the time!

Their skills and accomplishments as Wushu professional ways paved the way for Jet Li's acting in martial arts movies that began in China after Hong Kong and ultimately, the United States. It has become a global superstar over the years.

You may have seen in some of his films, such as:

Temple Shaolin
Once Upon A Time In China

Lethal Weapon 4 (This was the first time I had ever seen Jet Li and I was impressed!)

Romeo Must Die
Hero
Cradle 2 the Grave
Fearless
The war (with Jason Statham)
The Forbidden Kingdom (with fellow superstar Jackie Chan)

I have learned that Jet Li is a member of the cast, along with Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Staham, Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in "redundant" is scheduled for launch in 2010. More on that at a later date.

There is another side of Jet Li, as their fundraising activities, especially after his near-death experience in 2004 in the Maldives during a tsunami.

Reportedly, Jet Li's "The One Foundation supports efforts international disaster relief with the Red Cross and other efforts, such as recovery in the earthquake of 2008 in Sichuan.

Jet Li continues to impress and outside the big screen.
