"Li looked for the essence of martial arts. And then at his first National Wushu Championships in 1974 he demonstrated his knowledge of it. As one writer noted, "His interpretation of the requirements set for the contest was based on a thorough study as well as a clever combination of the characteristics of various schools: the flowing Chang Quan (Long Fist), the free Chang Quan, the brisk and light Hou Quan (Monkey Fist), the graceful Tong Bei Quan (Through Back Fist), the inner energy of the Tai Ji Quan (Tai Chi Fist), among others. Thus the most important thing, in his mind, was the integration of the forms of running, springing and leaping with a sense of beauty." Li took first in the compulsories, and then went on to win the highest marks in sword, spear, traditional barehand sets, saber, and two men sparring, making him All-Around Champion. In fact, Li would remain All-Around Champion for five consecutive years."
If you wanna see Jet Li do real wushu instead of all that special effects stuff, watch "The Shaolin Temple." It features him performing with Shaolin weapons like whip chain, spear, broadsword, and a barehand sequence. He also does a drunken staff form!!!

Like Bruce Lee he did some Wing Chun, and the general martial arts of Wushu, which I dont really understand.

I may have my info incorrect, but i highly doubt jet li dabbled in the southern styles, like Wing Chun.
Kensai, any chance you have proof of this? |

Jet Li In the Bio i've read says that his styles is Wushu,some boxing and Internal Styles.
In the Movie "Tai Chi Master" he did Chen Tai chi chuan.
In the Movie "The One" bad Jet Li used Hsing-I(xing-gi) and Good Jet Li used Pa kua Chan (baguazhang).
In the Movie "Fist of Leyend" you can cleary see his Boxing Skills.
And In the rest of his movies is Pure Wu Shu.
