Top 10 Martial Arts Superstars
SarcasticoolThe Top Ten

Bruce Lee was respected by the best fighters in the world, that should tell you something. Yes, he had ACTUAL STREET FIGHTS in which he never lost. I don't know who's the GREATEST OF ALL TIME, but Bruce Lee was the best of his time, and he could definitely compete in every single era, in the past, present, and the future. Remember, he died early and yet he did what no other martial artist could do; put it all together - speed, stamina, strength, flexibility, intelligence, sportsmanship, skill, technique, combinations, and so forth. He deserves to be #1, no disrespect for the other martial artists. Bruce Lee learned from everyone, and that's why he is at the top of this list. You shouldn't be surprised.
Bruce lee is the greatest martial artist of all time. He will forever be remembered as a legend. He had so much to give in his life and he gave it all. He was just... Awesome. No words could describe his greatness and his contribution for Asian culture. He opened doors for people of all races, cultures and disabilities to start following their dreams. All these qualities and contribution have made him the greatest superstar who ever lived
BRUCE LEE WAS THE BEST OF HIS TIME!... Whoops! Em sorry... Its better to say'BRUCE LEE IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME'
Whatever martial art and it's glimpses that we see now in Hollywood movies, this man started it all. He brought martial to movies and hollywood and since then people started taking martial art more seriously. All genre of martial arts being portrayed by modern movies, he was the one who started it. No CGI, no special effects, all stunts by his own. His moves were slowed down so that they can be caught on camera and we could take lesson from them. Oh...and by the way he was the inventor of 1 inch and 3 inch punch and showed the world martial arts can be lethal and fatal if not practices with care.
Bruce Lee is insane

Jackie Chan is a great martial artist. He know all style of Kung Fu. He done his most risky moves and stunts with a lot of fan. He is different of all martial artist.
Breaks the mould of the serious martial artists, with comedy and great stunts! - Sarcasticool
Bruce lee may be good, Jet lee may be better but Jacky chan is the best ever. - Jirayasama
Jackie chan is the best forever

JET LI s the best ever!!! great movie and the best actor!!! simple and always smiling, but when it comes to Martial Arts he is Fearless, wild and extreme!!! - Valz
Jet Li is the greatest all the time.he's got unique moves no one will never reach.
- goodgoingnish
Jet Li is the best, simple, but Fearless, wild and extreme when it comes Martial Arts. very cool!
My cute fighter..
V 8 CommentsHe is real talented, has a perfect kickboxing record, his movies r more realistic ( he never beat a whole army by himself in the movies), is not arrogant, performs great kicks
Flexibility, muscles and cool moves - Sarcasticool
V 2 CommentsI wonder why Jet Li is higher than Donnie Yen? I know both fought twice and donnie yen lost but times have changed. Donnie Yen's gotten a lot faster and stronger over the years. No offense to Jet Li but I think of donnie yen and him fought, Donnie Yen would win.
Ip man 1 and Ip man 2, the greatest and inspirational movie! Donnie Yen is amazing and at the age around 50's he is in shape and muscular!
Donnie yen must be on the top 3, his moves are so natural, he can kick tony jaa's ass if they will fight on the same weight class...
Why is Donnie Yen not in the top 5

how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck was chuck norris LOL! he the bomb
he should be numuh 1
Don't let him be #4 or he'll roundhouse kick us all in the face! - usmc650736
Trained by Bruce Lee. Truly one of the best martial artists of all time.
Definitely a strong second place
V 8 CommentsHis stunts and moves are a great fun to watch and he really performs them and I would pay to watch them anytime.. Not like Jet Li and other actors who fly around in a wire to look invincible
Laugh out loud, the top 3 places are good but why is Chuck Norris 4th? Tony Jaa would kick his ass...
What the hell tony jaa on 12 this isn ' t fair. Chuck norris on 4 th. Tony jaa will kick his ass
He should be in 2nd
V 9 CommentsHe did one of the greatest Kung Fu Movies of all times... The 36th Chamber of Shaolin
Adkins must come in the top 5. He is not popular only because of the poor storyline of his films. But you cannot see this much of fast and unique moves from any other martial artists. He also possess around 7 black belts in different martial arts including ninjitsu, jiujitsu and taekwondo. See his best in undisputed II and I
A incredible Athlete and Martial Artist! Needs to be cast better and aloud to fulfill his potential to the highest! I hear he is working on the New Wolverine!
In terms of Martial arts actors in 2017 I'd say he's in the top 3.
SCOTT ADKINS is the best in the world
V 6 CommentsA great mix of humour and power, with a likable character too. - Sarcasticool
The Contenders

2015 Guinness World Record Books page 248
Undefeated Full-contact and Russian SAMBO record.Military Veteran Best Actor Award for Hamlet. I would say this guy is the Real Life Action Star vs. Movie Star. I liked him in Samurai Avenger. I saw him in a few Asian movies also and he is really skilled! But there are just not that many movies in the US with him in it. I would love to see him in the next expendables! Or matched up against Van Damn or Scott Adkins! He plays the Good Guy most the time but he made a nice transition to Bad Guy in one movie(spoiler) He could make one hell of a Villian. 6'4" 250 lbs and moves like Bruce Lee! Lets see it please! Maybe the Next Mortal Combat he could Be Kenji (looks and Swordplay) or maybe the Next Wolverine or Batman?
Jeffery is a true Martial Arts master who commands both respect and fear from competitors.
Speed and Mass. His well built muscular thick physique speaks for itself and he packs a powerful punch.
Pretty Cool guy! He played the Universe's Strongest SuperHero "The Crusher" on Mighty Med DisneyXD. He took time to talk to me about Martial Arts and School and was pretty nice.
V 13 CommentsThis guy proves you don't need to throw your feet around with a whole lot of fancy kicks to do some damage! - Sarcasticool
He's A FAKE, everyone on this list would destroy him
He is a real.
The best martial artist ever. The great grand master of wing chun. He inspired to take on martial arts especially wing chun, I think he is better than Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan because he was the teacher of Bruce Lee.
A Perfect Wing Chun Martial Artist of all time.
I think that nobody can be compared with him, but it's a pitty that none know him... Only for saying he was the teacher of bruce lee is enough to have an idea as great he is
Just because he was the teacher doesn't mean he was better should we say ip mans teacher was better than him because he was his teacher
No because he improved and got better than his teacher

How the hell Brock is doing in this list! He is not an actor! He is just a wrestler!
Brock is a wrestler that fights with brute power and martial arts.

She one of the best female fighters in the world
The best martial artists do all these incredible things, and teach others as well. That's why James DeCore should be at the top of this list!

James is a very honorable person who truly loves doings he does. He is an amazing teacher and friend to ask who know him. He is an incredible martial artist. He competes with integrity and respects his opponent.

V 3 CommentsHe is good fighter, his style is Tyger. He shooting, good kicking super constalation give speed structure.
Legendary a bad boy of martial arts movies.Mass,power,speed this is Chinese Hercules.

He's the rising star now. Not only he does his own stunt, he also designs the choreography in The Raid and The Raid 2. At such young age he has starred and choreographed two of the best action films of this decade.
A new rising star in my opinion, still a fan if Bruce Lee, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan and Jet Li

She did Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
He met Bruce Lee
She does our own stunts

Well number 10 could have been Bill 'superfoot' Wallace or Don 'The Dragon'Wilson, but I like the power, speed and moves of Dolph a little more than the latter. - Sarcasticool

He started training at the Rayners Lane Academy of Taekwon-do in 2000. He competed regularly in both national and international championships, including the 2004 AIMAA (Action International Martial Arts Association) World Championships in Dublin, where he won a bronze medal. The World Championships took place in October 2004, when he was a red belt competing in the junior division against other red and black belts. He made it to the semi-finals, where he lost to an Irish black belt named Niall Fitzmaurice in "a very close and tough fight", and ended up winning a bronze medal. He later gained a 1st dan black belt on 11 March 2006.
