Top 10 Martial Arts Superstars

Sarcasticool

The Top Ten

1 Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee was a Hong Kong American martial artist, action film actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, filmmaker, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do.

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.

I don't know whether he is the best..but his fights in his movies made me crazy.

7 Donnie Yen

I 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...

In my opinion Donnie is right now the best martial arts actor, even greater than Jet Li, he's always improving his style, best overall techniques, and he's also a Wushu champion... remember he's the Bow Sim-Mark's song and he began training at 4 years old...! He's the best at this time... no offense to anyone else

8 Ip Man

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

He is the best martial artist ever. He taught Lee himself

10 Jeffrey James Lippold

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.

12 Tony Jaa

His 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

Best fighting hero

13 Scott Adkins

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.

He should be on top 5
