11. Jet Li
Jet Li is a wushu prodigy, winning multiple national championships in China before becoming an international action star. Wushu emphasizes speed, precision, and agility, all of which Li brings to his performances in Once Upon a Time in China and Hero. While wushu is a performance martial art, Li’s physical control, reflexes, and years of training make him a dangerous opponent in reality. His fight choreography looks so good because it’s grounded in authentic, high-level skill.
