Martial Arts Action StarsDiscuss your favorite action stars here
A discussion with drallig in another thread got me thinking about all those fictional martial artists out there in movies, books, television shows, and video games. So I thought it might be interesting to find out what others on the forums thought.
Who is your favorite fictional martial artist and why?
I have a few.
Number one would be Kwai Chang Caine from the Kung Fu television series. I loved the mix of martial arts and philosophy that his character displayed.
Number two would be Remo Williams from The Destroyer series of books. Remo is trained in the art of Sinanju, and I always liked how his character started out with absolutely no philosophies and few morales in the beginning of the series but became quite wise through his MA training later in the books.

Kung Lao from Mortal Combat. I like Kung Lao because a while ago my brother and I started playing co-op on Mortal Combat and we could choose between Lui Kang (Main Character) or Kung Lao. Lui Kang seemed to be way better, but I let my brother be him. So I was Kung Lao, and though his hand to hand combat skills weren't as great as Lui Kangs, he had some devastating special moves like throwing his bladed hat and teleporting down onto foes. Anyways, I came to like this fictional Kung fu charactor. I can beat anyone with him
I've been wanting to check it out, but I am hooked on Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden at the moment And I am regularly made fun of due to that (I'm 21), but who cares
marvel's Iron Fist and daredevil because they are both awesome martial artists with superhuman abilities
Namco's Jin kazama becuase i just like him
Capcom's Yang(street fighter 3) because he is quiet dedicated martial artist that tends to keep to himself like me
anc Capcom's Ryu because he is the archetype of the wandering warrior which is what is i'd like to be like

Yea, I don't get the station with Naruto. But anyways Avatar is so cool. It is like all kinds of martial arts and philosophies tied into really cool action. A "bender" is someone who can manipulate an element. The four elements being fire earth water and air. Anyways, the do martial art moves but with elements and it makes for really cool fight scenes.

Also, Eddy Gordo and Christie Monteiro from Tekken, because Eddy was the reason for me to start capoeira.
