if u think of all the big name actors who say they are martial artists as well, which ones do u think are really legit
we have
jackie chan- who did some wu whu and mostly shoalin kung fu with the peking opera
van-damm- karate(don't really know if he actually did kickboxing)
steven segaul-akido
chuck norris-karate and tang soo do(i know he his but what do u think of him)
robin shou-shoaling kung fu and wu shu
jet li-kung fu (don't remember which kind though and wu shu)

well here ya go...u have all these big name actors that say they are martial artists....which ones do i guys think are really serious about training?...if u could, would u actually take lessons from one of them and why?
sorry i had to see what u guys would say....i think it's an interesting topic,no?

It is intersting, this was also discussed before see the link:

Regarding teaching -I think only 2 are serious about teaching Chuck Norris and Stevel Segal and segal is a fat bastard now so I would probably go with Chuck since he is big with machado BJJ as well.

oh they were only talking about steven and chuck though...and not very much either...but im asking something a lil different and i don't think i was here when that thread was made sorry....but still the questions remain open what do guys think?

The only person on that list I'd take lessons from would be Chuck Norris. He was a full contact Karate & Kickboxing champ.

Chuck Norris without a doubt!
P.S. You forgot to mention Weslie Snipes. He's a very dedicated student of the Martial Arts-at least that's what I've read.

i don't know about dedicated..he does caporiea or however u spell it.....newho i forgot about chow yung fat as well...don't remember what he studied though

ralph machio from the karate kid,Yeah!
oh.....wait....can i take that back?

[kodankan]

the power rangers!
........dammit......thats not the right answer either is it.

im not asking "yes and no" questions here...im being serious

[adacas]

wesley snipes is very good at capoeira and I think it is shotokan karate. He has a master level in capoeira I think. The only person I would train with here is Chuck because he is the most legit here. He won titles, rained with bruce lee and a few other guys and continues to amaze me with walker texas ranger reruns.

continues to amaze me with walker texas ranger reruns.

I was even going to admit to still watching that, but that's my down time to eat and prep for the gym.
