Before You Watch The Video Below, First A little Background About Superstars Bruce Lee And Jackie Chan’s

Bruce Lee is a famous martial artist, Hong Kong and American film actor, film director, producer and screenwriter. He can rightly be called a legend who, thanks to his skills, has gained a huge number of followers around the world. Bruce Lee was born on November 27, 1940 in San Francisco. His parents were Lee Hoi Chuen and Grace Lee. The head of the family is a Chinese opera actor who made good money. According to the Chinese calendar, the boy was born in the year of the Dragon and the hour of the Dragon, which is why he received the name Li Xiaolong, which translates as Little Dragon. Bruce Lee decided to master kung fu – he needed these skills to fend for himself in street fights. The parents approved the choice of their son and sent him to study the art of Wing Chun with the master Ip Man. Thanks to dancing, the guy had excellent coordination of movements, which helped him to master the basics of Taijixuan techniques in the shortest possible time.

Since that time, Bruce Lee has never left training. The style studied by Bruce involved fighting without weapons, although in the future he mastered them too – the athlete handled the nunchaku best of all. Lee later mastered judo, jiu-jitsu and boxing. In addition, he contributed to the martial arts by developing a new style of kung fu called Jeet Kune Do. By the way, he taught this style at his own martial arts school, which he opened in 1961 during his years in the States. The lessons were expensive ($275 per hour), but the Bruce Lee school had one fundamental difference from similar educational institutions – it taught everyone, regardless of nationality, while other masters undertook to teach only Asians. As a teacher, Bruce himself never stopped improving his kung fu skills, bringing every move to perfection. He even created his own nutrition system, later his training methods were published, which gained popularity all over the world.
Jackie Chan  was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. The family moved to Canberra, Australia when Chan was six years old, but the next year his parents sent him back to Hong Kong to attend a strict boarding school where students were taught jingxi. From the age of 7 to 17, he studied acrobatics, singing, martial arts and mime, skills that led him to a position in a professional acrobatic jumping troupe and landed him bit parts as a child actor and later a stuntman. Independent film producer Lo Wei, hoping to find a successor to the late Bruce Lee, cast him in a series of lackluster kung fu films from 1976–78. Instead of portraying Li’s stern personality, in 1978, Chan used his own form of bumbling physical comedy in his first successful films She xing diao shou (Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow) and Zui quan (Drunken Master). He then wrote and starred in and starred in Xiao quan guai zhao (1979; The Fearless Hyena).

Chan retained full creative control over Shi Di Plague (1980; The Young Master), his debut with the production company Golden Harvest, which he later helped transform into Hong Kong’s largest film conglomerate. In the early 1980s, while unsuccessfully trying to get into English-language cinema, Chan finally broke through into the American market in the 1990s. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award from cable network MTV in 1995, and the following year his blockbuster Hung fan kui (1995; Rumble in the Bronx) was released in the United States along with some of his other Hong Kong classics. Chan co-starred with American comedian Chris Tucker in Rush Hour (1998), which was a huge success and launched two sequels (2001 and 2007).
