Martial Arts styles to become a martial arts action star?
I dream of becoming a martial arts actor like Bruce Lee or Tony Jaa one day. What styles do you suggest I take up? Many martial arts actors have their unique styles: (Tony Jaa: Muay Thai, Van Damme & Chuck Norris : Karate/Kickboxing, Jet Li: Wushu, Bruce Lee: Jeet Kune Do/Kung Fu etc).
What most modern martial arts actors have in common is the acrobatics. So what styles do you suggest I practice in order to stand out from the rest while including the acrobatics that everyone likes watching.
If you want to stand out then I suggest you find something different form the rest of the action-pack (bad joke). Like you said, learning acrobatics and thing of that nature is important. Most people who are hired for martial art flicks have some kind of background in dance and/or gymnastics. I would aim for that first if you can.
Any martial art you choose is completely up to you. It's best not to have a strong background in a martial art as the film/production will be using a choreographer and you'll be doing what that person says. Knowing what's what is important, but too deep into the martial art world could be a hindrance on you.
