he's getting old, most of his movies he has a double for high wire stunts. I think he wants to stop. We'll see

well thats what happens when you want to execute a martially inspired movement that would be performed by a constant practitioner, when you no longer practice.
its sad that jet li no longer practices his wushu, he was good. still is but now its all degrading muscle memory.
donnie yen would pwn jet li any day of the week.

that is if you are a movie fan at all. But he said in the tarantino interview that he still practices 8 hours a day, is your info more recent?

if you go to his website, its on there.
he says he practices by playing ping pong, racket ball and badmitten. he swims and runs.
so he still works out, but he says he doesnt practice his MA anymore.
he says hes going to be flexible for life, and his stuff is all engrained in memory.
kiss of the dragon. the stretch kick where the breaks the door operator at the end of the movie... no stretching out before that scene.
dont get me wrong, jet li is raw.
but i still stand by my pwnerization of Donnie Yen on the Li Lian Jie
but thats all info i got off of the jet li web site. so i hope he doesnt just let stuff like that get onto his site if its not true...

Both Jet and Donnie built their foundation on modern wushu. Check out our July 2000 cover story on Donnie: Donnie Yen: The Evolution of an American Martial Artist by Stephan Berwick

Maybe he can remember it all, the brain has endless memory, but well see if he can pull all that stuff off after playing ping pong for 5 years.

ah the age old question. i think donnie is a much better martial artist if not athlete then jet, i mean just look at te two, watch there films the way they move. even thou both have a foundation in wushu donnie lucks more modern in movement, more like a street fighter where as jet looks more like a wushu guy, donnie experiments more with new things(spl anybody), plus he keeps his ma training up, and jet doesn't. winner donnie
