Jackie Chan is undoubtedly one of the most prominent stars in the world. Chan’s name has become synonymous with intensive martial arts skills and blockbuster action films. Born in Hong Kong, Chan’s journey to stardom began in the 1970s, and since then, he has become a global icon and a true martial arts master. The superstar is known for his humorous and down-to-earth personality which has won the hearts of millions.
The Rush Hour star has never hesitated in showing his remarkable martial arts skills in order to encourage others to learn these skills for self-defense. In one of his interviews, the Drunken Master II star went ahead and taught his hosts and viewers a self-defense technique to free their hands from any unwanted individuals. Chan admitted that the technique has the potential to break anyone’s including his if performed accurately with speed.
Jackie Chan’s Martial Arts Background
Jackie Chan is indeed a great actor but one can hardly ignore his rich background in martial arts. With a foundation in traditional Chinese martial arts, such as Kung Fu and Wing Chun, Chan has honed his skills over the years to a level of mastery that is truly awe-inspiring. Chan expanded his martial arts repertoire by studying hapkido under a grandmaster and has even learned Western boxing and Karate. His extensive training has allowed him to develop his unique versatile fighting style that draws from a wide range of martial arts disciplines.
Jackie Chan Shared A Self-Defense Technique Which Can Break Anybody’s Hand
In an interview, the Project A star asked his interviewers to free their hands from his grip. But the interviewers failed to do so, as a result, Chan taught them and the viewers a simple self-defense technique that has the potential to break anyone’s arm. The technique involves bringing your hand close to your body and putting all your body weight into twisting the arm of the unwanted individual. The technique will not only free your hand from any big guy but can also break their hands.
“If I grab you, can you let go? Difficult…I will tell you a trick, no matter which big guy grabs you. You just look at me… You just put your arm and your body like this [demonstrated how to twist it]. If you go fast I break my hand.”
Of course, the Crime Story star gave a warning in the end for kids to not perform this technique casually, as it could seriously injure someone. Chan in the true sense has always remained humble and has never hesitated to pass down his martial arts learnings to teach and help others.
