Jackie Chan Hates MMA - "That's not the Martial Arts"

[COVID-19]

Jackie Chan is a Wushu practioner which is not Kung fu anyway.

As far as theatrics, I'd put Jackie over Bruce absolutely.

As a fighter? No F'n way...Bruce >>>>>>>>> Jackie. Jackie even talked once about a little fued both he and Bruce had during the times where Jackie was a stunt worker for Bruce (Fist of Fury, Enter the Dragon), but he also said Bruce was 100% legit and would beat him in a fight, Norris said the same.

Jackie is a pretty down to earth humble guy for the most part, he himself admits he's not a fighter (although he did mention about getting into some street fights in his youth), that's one of the reasons why he's such a likable personality.

if you don't have respect for his craft and his nerve, then something wrong with you.

Mutha****a jumps off buildings and ****. Catches moving trucks after jumping through plates of sheet glass... catches cranes.. He was the BEST stuntman ever. And a hell of a good martial artist.

Can someone post the video of the two MMA heavyweights throwing wild punches?

If you know the difference between Wushu and Kung fu then you would not say he was a martial artist.

Wushu is a sport based on Kung fu and looks like it but is not trained the same way.

I know what wushu is.

But Jackie Chan has no fear...he's no dancer.

He would not be intimidated by anyone. He faces death, sure death, in his work. **** that would make you piss your pants.

Try not saying "oh he's either this or this", thats way too narrow minded for someone like Jackie Chan

He has earned his MA prominence, and the right to speak on it. **** the noise.

Yeah Wushu looks pretty and everything but it's not martial arts.

Jim Schmaltz is a colleague and sometimes-boss of mine. When the Lionsgate publicity department extended an invitation to screen “The Spy Next Door,” a family comedy best enjoyed by the young and slow-brained, I suggested to Jim he attend. His enthusiasm was contagious.

“Uh,” Jim said. “Uh, I can.”

The point was not to force Jim to suffer through “Spy,” which anecdotal reports indicate not even Amber Valetta could salvage, but to corner star Jackie Chan and ask him his opinion of mixed martial arts. (This is a hobby of mine: ask action film stars what they think of this gruesome business. I once asked Dolph Lundgren how Ivan Drago would do in an MMA fight. I am 31 years old.)

“You can ask Jackie what he thinks of MMA,” I said.

“Uh,” Jim said. And then, realizing a screening would get him out of the office, he was off.

When he called from the junket, I was disappointed to learn that Chan was cool to the question posed during the roundtable interview session. “Jackie doesn’t like MMA,” Jim said.

“Oh. Does he not like it, or does he just not know much about it?” I was trying to give Jackie any out I possibly could.

“No, I don’t think he likes it.”

Jim was correct. “I don’t like to see Ultimate Fighting,” Chan said. “As a martial artist, I find it too violent putting them in a cage. At the end, it’s not fighting anymore. That’s not the martial arts. Martial arts is about respect. When somebody is knocked down, stop. I really respect Sugar Ray Leonard. Come on, [when a guy is down] stop. Don’t fight. That’s not the spirit. When you’re down, I’ll grab you up. Are you okay? Should we continue? That’s the martial arts spirit. That’s what I want.”

This means we will not see Jaden Smith landing elbows from the mount in Chan’s upcoming “Karate Kid” Xerox. (Worse: no one will be landing elbows on Jaden Smith.)

You are not listening?

or being intentionally thick?



I tend to think the latter.



You'd be dead trying to do a quarter of a fraction of half of what Jackie has done, *****.


And im done.
