Jet Li was born in Beijing, Heibei on April 26, 1963 and began his Martial Arts training at a very early age. So early in fact, that by the age of 11 he had already won his first of five consecutive Chinese National Wu Shu championships (Martial Arts performance styles). Seeing this budding talent, his prowess was both recognized and honored by the Chinese government when he was named a part of the first Wu Shu team to | |
| tour of the West. By his 16th birthday he was a national Wushu coach. It was only natural that his skill would catch the attention of the blossoming Kung Fu movie industry in 80's China. It was the start of something big, not only for the Chinese movie industry, but for Li. | ||
 Jet Li's big break came at the age of 19 when he was given the starring role in the movie that started it all, Shao Lin Si (Shaolin Temple). The movie caused quite a stir among young Chinese as hundreds traveled to the site of the remains of the original Shaolin Temple in the hopes of training in the manner that Li's character portrayed. Taking a lesson from Hollywood, either inspired by or to capitalize on this, the next role given to |
|
| him was Kids From Shaolin which proved to be an equal success. Yet Kung Fu and acting were not his only talents. He wanted to try his hand at other facets of the industry. | |
|
Li produced and starred in probably his best pictures, Fong Sai Yuck I & II,
along with such movies as New Legend Of Shaolin, Kung Fu Colt
Master, Fist Of Legend and Bodyguard From Beijing.
He was next offered the director's chair for the movie Born To Defense
which unfortunately met with failure.
Jet Li is a proven talent with on screen charisma, grace and charm and is versatile enough to play drama, |
| comedy and romance, not to mention that Li can really "kick butt" when need be. | |
