I feel that traditional martial arts have been distorted by film and television works. Flying over walls and flying into the air in film and television works are highly exaggerated, mainly for the sake of better visual effects, and many martial arts films are pre-recorded by martial arts directors. The routines are well choreographed, so viewing is the first priority.

Everyone knows that Jet Li and Jackie Chan are known as Kung Fu superstars, but in fact they are much inferior in actual combat. The only person who can truly be called a Kung Fu superstar or King of Kung Fu is Bruce Lee, because the Jeet Kune Do he founded attaches great importance to actual combat. Everything is based on actual combat and can burst out huge energy in an instant to achieve stable and ruthless effects. It's a pity that he died young.

It is obvious from these three pictures that the difference between the three people is their eyes and posture. Bruce Lee's eyes were full of murderous intent, but Jet Li and Jackie Chan couldn't see it at all.

I personally think that the focus of traditional martial arts is on the cultivation of personal cultivation and physical fitness, and more on the training and shaping of oneself. Therefore, actual combat skills are ignored or weakened. In recent years, film and television dramas have also The actual martial arts are exaggerated and dramatized, so people think that traditional martial arts should be more powerful, but in reality, the performance in actual combat is not satisfactory.

On the contrary, more practical martial arts such as Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do will be better in actual combat. There is also Japan’s karate, Thailand’s Muay Thai and so on.

Of course I am not belittling traditional martial arts, I just feel that the characteristics, emphasis, and purpose of traditional martial arts and fighting are different, and I personally feel that direct comparison cannot be made bluntly.
