my #1 favorite is Donnie Yen.
Producers say that he's one of the fastest people they've ever worked with.
He was in Hero, but most notable, and impressive, are Ip Man, and Ip Man 2. If you haven't seen these, wtf are you doing here! Stop reading, start watching! They're on Netflix.
My #2 favorite is Jackie Chan. Because he's hilarious. Rush Hour!

Does David Carradine count, grasshopper?
Anyway, seriously, Jet Li, by a landslide. Especially in "The One" and "Kiss of the Dragon".

I have to say Bruce Lee's bouncing kinda bothers me. When your on the up motion your not in control nor do you have the foundation to produce any power. But then again it looks good,,, theatrically.

Well.. They guy who trained me is my favorite; Roland Sylaroup. He is a Latvian who fought against the Russian army to free his country, and saw friends and family die in the struggle. He is on a Postage stamp, holding the Latvian flag in a parade, while Russian snipers were trained on him. He was sent to prison in Siberia, until Ronald Reagan signed papers to get him out. He fought with The Lion's Den before UFC made it all okay, and he trained me to be a professional fighter. For Martial Artist who don't fight. I also like Jackie Chan, for what he went through, and accomplished. If you don't know his story, check it out.
