Pursuing martial arts in Hong Kong

Wushu

Pursuing martial arts in Hong Kong is a way of life for many people who consider martial arts to be part of their lifestyle and a way to stay healthy. One popular form of martial arts is wushu, popularized by the international martial arts expert and now Hollywood actor Jet Li. But wushu is harder than it looks because it can also be a full-contact sport and not just a series of dramatic movements to wow spectators.

Jet Li

To talk about Chinese wushu artists yet neglect to talk about Jet Li is to neglect a “National Treasure” of China completely. Jet Li started out young in the field of wushu training, becoming a multi-awarded wushu athlete for China. Eventually, after his success in China he started pursuing martial arts in Hong Kong and then Hollywood. Jet Li is his screen name. His real Chinese name is Li Lianjie.
