Actually Jet Li is as much a fighter as Jackie Chan is an actor.

Jackie Chan came from the Beijing School of Opera, the famous school that teaches performance arts for Chinese Opera. Due to its highly martial artistic and acrobatic performing methods, graduates are always selected to be stunt actors and fighting show actors.

While Jet Li is a real martial arts champion that has won many wushu championships in China.

As a member of the team, he received wushu training and went on to win fifteen gold medals and one silver medal in Chinese wushu championships:

1974 — Youth National Athletic Hi Competition: broadsword form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, all-round gold medal;
1975 — Third Chinese Wushu Championships: long fist form gold medal, spear form silver medal
1977 — National Wushu Competition: long-fist form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal
1978 — National Wushu Competition: long-fist form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal, all-round gold medal;
1979 — Fourth Chinese Wushu Championships: long-fist form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal, sparring form gold medal, all-round gold medal.
All his optional empty-hand form medals were won with a form called fanzi yingzhaoquan (翻子鷹爪拳, Fanzi eagle claw). His success led to the PRC declaring Jet Li to be a "National Treasure".

And for Bruce Lee, he stays undefeated forever.
