If you're looking for the best martial arts film star, then the name Bruce Lee immediately comes to mind. Whilst there have been a number of incredibly talented actors in the history of the martial arts genre, it is difficult to see that anyone had as much of an impact as did Bruce Lee.

In my opinion, the Top 5 martial arts actors of our time include:
- Bruce Lee - I challenge you to watch Enter The Dragon and not be mesmerized by Bruce Lee's skill and speed. In my opinion, he is the definition of a great martial arts actor: Entertaining, talented, and highly skilled.
- Jackie Chan - Likeable, charismatic, and also one of the best stuntmen of the screen, Jackie Chan is another legend of this genre.
- Jet Li - I really rate Jet Li, not just because of his eye-catching martial arts talent, but also because he's probably the best actor on this list.
- Steven Seagal - You can't leave out this Aikido champion, actor, writer, producer and reserve sheriff from the list. Seagal is also the first foreigner to open an Aikido dojo in Japan.
- Cynthia Rothrock- Not just the token female on this list, her role in China O'Brien was spectacuar.
