Could Jet Li beat up 10 average fighters in his prime?

Question

Could Jet Li beat up 10 average fighters in his prime?

Answer 1

In a movie? Sure.

Answer 2

At age 19 Jet Li was the National Wu Shu champion of Red China.  Wu Shu is the watered down method of kung fu (kinda like what Judo is to Ju-jitsu).

Kung fu is a deadly martial art and a 'complete system'.  Unfortunately it takes a long time to become proficient at Kung fu.

It was conservatively estimated that a fully trained and really good Shaolin warrior monk could defeat two soldiers.  Not ten as seen in the movies.  So Jet Li in his prime could easily defeat two trained opponents in a street fight, not ten.

But Jet Li is a martial artist first, and actor second.  Jet Li, Donny Yen, Steven Seagal, all represent well trained martial artists who became actors, not actors who learned the martial arts on the job (like David Carradine or Pat Morita).

Answer 3

Not likely.

Jet Li is not a fighter, he's an actor with extensive martial arts background, he won numerous FORMS competitions, but never full-contact ones.

Answer 4

Anyone who doesnt think he'd have a shot is ignorant. Yes, if someone gets tied up they can put ina  submission but that is if your opponent lets you. I guarantee you, in a real fight you would see Jet Li is a real fighter with real speed and real skills. MMA fighters are overrated. They are good at many things but not very good at any one thing with the exception of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Those guys have a way of outlasting strikers that impresses even me. Jet Li the fighter would have better than a serious shot of beating ten average fighters.

Answer 5

No he wouldn't....  how do I know?  I used to train Jet Li for 2 and a half years when he was interested in MMA.  When he decided to take up acting, I got pissed and sent ten of my weakest MMA fighters to slaughter him.  And guess what?  He's messed up now!!!

Answer 6

No.

Eight at most, maybe 9.

But 10?

No way.

Answer 7

I say, Jet Li can beat 3 REAL martial artists at the same time at most.

Answer 8

im gonna say no because anyone  would struggle with ten people

Answer 9

No!! and never likely.

Only one of the ten has to either clinch him or wrap around his legs and he'd be and so would anyone else in the world toast for the other nine :)***

Answer 10

I agree with frank the tank. Jet Li is an actor.. I bet he couldn't even beat up the average fighter because Kung Fu is great for balance, agility, and power.. but it's really not that great for fighting purposes.
