Could Jet Li take Bruce Lee?

Question

Assuming Bruce Lee wasn't dead and both were in their prime.

Answer 1

Well. Let's see...Jet Li is highly trained Wushu artist, a product of the PRC's best training,  a former member of the Chinese National Wushu team, Bruce was a movie star who grew up in Hong Kong.

Jet Li has demonstrated far more versatile skills as a martial artist and way better movies.  Bruce was notable for a number of other things, such as really introducing Martial Arts into the US in a big way.  As a cultural phenomena Bruce had a profound effect on American life, and, he was American.

Bruce, when he came up with Jeet Kun Do really started the first mixed martial art, the man was a genius.

As martial artists go, Jet hands down.  If you really believe in the power  of Chinese Martial Arts, Jet over Bruce, but nothing is ever that simple.

Answer 2

yes i think jet li could kick his but jet is bad ***!!

Answer 3

I think it would be a draw.

Answer 4

Jackie chan would slam em both

Answer 5

no way, bruce lee in his prime what do u want jet li to die. i like both jet li and bruce lee but come on bruce lee was the greatest fighter in the world jet li is no where near as tank as what bruce lee is and jet li cant do one handed pushups on 2 fingers or side kick a 135k kickbag and make it swing up and hit the roof also jet li's fight scenes in his movies wer sped up like normal martial art movies bruce lee's fight scenes were put in slower motion because his movements were soo fast the camera would blur. so i think that bruce lee would defently come out on top.

Answer 6

SERIOUSLY!!!!

Jet Li is a multiple all China wushu competition.

Bruce Lee is a movie star that has 2 years of wushu training, little bit of training here and there before he developed a MA philosophy called jeet kune do.

The only problem, Jet Li is a champion in a form contest meaning that he might not have the actual experience of fighting in the street.

Bruce Lee grew up as a troublemaker fighting a lot as a kid.

In the end, both of them are performer first before anything els

and yes, Jeet Kune do is not really a martial art form, it's more of a philosophy.

Go to any Jeet Kune Do school (which most of them are rooted from Dan Inosanto) and you will see that most of the training you get are the same as filipino art, the Bruce Lee  label is to attract those masses that still believe Bruce Lee as the best fighter in the world and Muhammad Ali as the best boxer in the world.

Both statements are obviously wrong, but both were excellent performer with the power of media behind them.

Answer 7

Man, I hope so.

Answer 8

My vote goes to Bruce Lee. I mean, look at the awesome shape the man was in!  Jet Li is good, but Bruce Lee was the man when it comes to martial arts. He did things no other martial artist was able to do.

Answer 9

Bruce would kick his behind
