The Reality of Martial Arts and Fitness Teddy Smith

This is a list of legitimate martial artists appearing in movies, accompanied by the styles they practice(d), the recognition they've received for them, and private trivia.

This particular list EXCLUSIVELY includes individuals whose chief activities in the realm of martial arts include Kickboxing competition. Individuals who have competed in Kickboxing just are more authoritative in other sectors tin can be found in other lists.

Qualifications:

  • the performer must be an bodily practitioner of a martial art; simply portraying martial artists in motion picture, no matter how well or how often, is not enough
  • the martial art(s) in question must be able to be identified and verified by a source other than hearsay
  • private accomplishments (eastward.g. tournaments won, belts held) must likewise be verifiable
  • Mixed Martial Arts, Tai Chi, and weapons-based styles tin only be credited if the person in question practices another way as well (I reserve the right to make exceptions)
  • Kickboxing is considered a martial art
  • Tae Bo, boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics are non considered martial arts
  • styles incorporating firearms usage (e.k. Systema) are not considered

--------------------------------------------------

I have begun crediting stunt performers for doubling others in fight scenes. I justify doing this for cases wherein the stunt performer is performing pregnant parts of the activity themselves and is displayed on the screen as prominently or more than the histrion or actress.

--------------------------------------------------

NOTE: a lot of the trivia listed here did originally come up from IMDb pages, but I've just included information I was able to verify from other sources too.

--------------------------------------------------

**Though I take done my utmost to ensure that all information below is factual and up-to-date, I may have made mistakes and therefore brand no claims about this list's infallibility**
