What kind of Martial Arts did Jackie Chan learn?

Question

I heard that when he was a child that he went to a school called Peking Opera. But does anyone one have any idea on what fighting style (Martial Arts fighting style) he learned? Ex: Bruce Lee learned Jeet Kune Do. Thanks. =)

Answer 1

bruce lee did found jeet kuan do(sp?)

as for jackie chan wouldn't a d**n wikipedia or google search suffice.

Answer 2

Actually Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do, He originally learned Wing Chun he was a student of Yip Man.

The Peking Opera... practiced a variety of martial arts... it would depend on which opera they were performing... they also had a lot of acrobatics in their shows. The Chinese acrobats are famous for there gymnastic performances. (You could say Jackie Chan trained in Wu Shu (the general term for Martial Arts, which could contain a variety of different styles.)
