I noticed that some people are saying Jackie Chan can never compete with a "true martial artist" such as Bruce Lee, Jet Lee and Tony Ja because he is only a "stunt man" because he studied his martial arts at the China Drama Academy.
I mean wtf? I kind of got irritated when people started dissing Jackie Chan like that.
Claiming that he somehow "inferior" because his martial arts is for "just show".
He doesn't to go an "official martial school" in order to beat someone with his fist.

Bruce lee, Jet lee and tony have all had real martial arts fights. Jackie chan does not get involved in attacking forms of martial arts. In the making of forbid kingdom he had to stop jet lee from hitting a camra guy. In a true martial arts battle jackie would be lacking as he will not have learnt all the move plus he does not have that killer to win inside like bruce lee and jet lee have.

jet lee and tony ja are known for fighting only for self-defense. they are taught not to pick fights with other people. Learning martial arts only for enlightment.
While bruce lee didn't have a teacher and he aimed to be the best, so that's why he had killer intent.
and real martial arts? what's so fake about it? do you need to be taught on how to punch or kick?
the point of martial arts to hone and strengthen your body while teaching you how to correctly recieve and avoid attacks.
jackie chan trains as much as anyone else. just because he went to a different school, doesn't mean anything.
