Dear Dragon,

My answer is here and very simple: Steven Seagal!! Steven is still the best for me and no alternate !!

But I like Jackie Chan !! He is very funny so fast and attractive. Sweet little guy !! :)

Another one Chow Yun Fat he is very handsome and successful for me !!

Oh and I liked Byron Mann after the Belly Of The Beast !! He is very handsome !!

I don't remember the others.

İn onenensss

Right Suzi,the one who played Jake's brother...My favorite character in the movie after the man himself.
But Chow Yun Fat-I wouldn't agree.I mostly see him in the gangsta films with a lot of gunfire but no fighting.
But I'd say Marc Dacascos is a hell of a fighter,especially after I saw Drive,still can't forget it.

come get some
Chow Yun Fat is not a martial artist, he never had any dedicated training. I like him a lot though.

The best technical "proven" martial artist is Jet Li, the toughest pure fighter is Sammo Hung, the best stuntman is Jackie Chan. There are also a lot of less famous stunt guys and bad guy actors who are just as good martial artists (in some cases, better) than the hero actors, e.g. Benny "the Jet" Urquidez, and Keith Cooke. And there are many pure actors who are also proficient at martial arts, e.g. Wesley Snipes, and Michael Jai White.

But the best all rounder would be Sensei of course. :D

Antipathetic?Wow!That's something I hear!
Well yeah,I wonder how come I have missed Sammom Hung-however,his body structure doesn't prevent him from being a fabulous martial artist.He's quick and awesome!
Jet Li-I agree,he's got an agressive drive in his style.

Snipes? lol, his hair can fight better

Jet Li is great but I wouldn't go as far as call him the best. Jet Li isn't fluent in English, that's why the American public doesn't like him as much as Jackie Chan (who by the way has no official ranking, but is still considered to be one of the greatest Kung-Fu masters, Jackie is an incredible acrobat who graduated the Chinese Opera theatre that trained various styles of Kung-Fu). I mentioned before in one of my posts that you should keep your eye out for Jamal Ajigirei (still in training, the wu-shu stylist and master having earned European as well as Russian titles multiple times in a row without being defeated).

Wesley Snipes? Are you kidding me (you haven't seen Blade then...)? Michael J. White on the other hand is a totally different story. On the set of Universal Soldier 2, Jean Claude Van Damme couldn't keep up with White (don't take me wrong Van Damme has much improved and is now on the wagon).

Chuck Norris (the name speaks for itself just like Steven Seagal).

I read it in several sources that the European Karate Associasion doesn't recognize Van Damme that he participated in any serious competitions,just had some friendly kickboxing meetings for a record.

no please don't, not again

Tora don't believe the papers you read. Van Damme is (was) a professional stylist. You can say the same thing about Jackie Chan (no official ranking, and he does not want one).

Damn,it's so hard to believe anything I read that each time I have to ask anybody else whether to believe or not...Those journalists have thousands of stories per one person...but hey how do you know that what you read is true then?

gas liquid solid

You ask me Tora, that's how you'll know ... lol
I don't know how you know what's true or not. Watch Exit Wounds, Seagal asks the same question ("How do you know who you can trust?"). Maybe you can get the answer from him (at one point the commander asks him for evidence on his suspicions and tells him to bring something solid so he says ... "I have something solid." ... maybe that's the answer to your original question ... this is getting out of hand ... I'll stop). But that was funny (well ... I laughed when I saw that).

Well, surprise, Seagal Sensei, is my first and only choice...:)
He's the very best, and the most graceful, powerful and realistic martial artist I have ever had the pleasure of watching in action...
The path beyond thought had me oohing and ahhhing, as it was all his actual movement, no camera tricks or wires or anything...
Let's face it Steven is the best, he's just totally awesome...
I thought Bruce Lee was a great talent before Seagal San, however not nearly as spellbinding...;)
As for anyone else, I really can't say that I am impressed...

Ok littledragon. I guess I have to get more info on other people, but since at this time I only think that the 2 people that I picked are the best today. I never did like Bruce Lee from the begining and I think that Chuck Norris is pretty good. I guess I should of mentioned him and made it 3 people instead of 2.

Jackie Chan is good, but he seems so silly...
Steven is never silly when fighting, he's so awesome, so tough, and so totally thrilling...
