I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts, and put me in a school. Three years later I got my first championship in China.

Working on a film, the setup for an action sequence takes a long time, and we need to shoot the scene many times to get different angles.

I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.

Martial arts have two parts. One is external, other internal. The external is physical part. The internal is philosophy of how to be, what kind of person learns martial arts.

I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.

Usually action films have a formula: good guy gets in trouble, his wife dies, friends have problems, so he goes to the mountain, learns martial arts, comes back, and kills the bad guy.

I've been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old.
