Jet Li and Jackie Chan Workout – Get Kung-fu Fighting for Fitness!

Chinese kung-fu training is famous for the extreme measures students go to to develop and condition their bodies to help improve their art.

Kung-fu fighters perform relentless hardening and conditioning exercises to toughen bones and joints and to deaden nerve endings to allow them to take strikes without feeling pain. Many styles refer to this form of training simply as “conditioning”.

Kung-fu performers, such as those that have made the Peking Opera House famous, spend hours every day performing exercises to make themselves incredibly strong and yet flexible. High kicks and acrobatic leaps and somersaults require a great deal of agility, power and suppleness which requires years of training. Please note that this is really quite different to the way Bruce Lee trained his martial arts. His emphasis was on more functional training for fighting and not acrobatic training for show.

The actors which have made kung-fu so famous today, namely Jackie Chan and Jet Li, came from these two different schools of training. Jet Li trained first as a Wushu fighter under the tutelage of Wu Bin while Jackie Chan was essentially adopted into the Peking Opera School to learn kung-fu in a punishing regime under the guidance of Master Yu Jim-yuen. If you wish to learn more about the Peking Opera school watch the 1988 film Qi xiao fu (Painted Faces).

Today Jackie Chan jokes a little about the style of teaching he endured, but what he does not say speaks volumes. The pain, agony and ruthlessness of some of the lessons leave only bad memories of an incredibly strict regime which would make a convent school look like day care.
