According to the Straits Times, the vast majority of young Jet Li's martial arts career was watched over by Li Jungfeng, an esteemed Gongfu (Kung Fu) master, famed Wushu coach and Qigong practitioner. Over the course of his career, Li (Jungfeng) had a hand in training around 10,000 students, (Jet) Li among them. (Jet) Li trained under Li (Jungfeng) and his co-coach Wu Bin during the future martial arts superstar's ten-year tenure on the Beijing Wushu Team. Here's what the coach has to say about his hard-working star student: "Jet Li was a perfect pupil, not just in terms of power and flexibility, but also, most importantly, learning capability. He had great coordination and his movements were very graceful."

Li Jungfeng is actually something of a martial arts movie star himself, as he starred in the 1982 kick-flick Wu Lin Zhi and three other films. He has also choreographed action scenes and starred in Learning Wushu, a TV show that was almost certainly not about fly fishing. Apart from Jet Li, his most famous student is arguably Ge Chunyan — a Bagua style master, a five-time national champion and the man who trained superstar actress Zhang Ziyi for her role in The Grandmaster. Funnily enough, the master considers Ge his finest pupil instead of Jet Li. That's right: Li Jungfeng is so good that he actually trained someone even better than Jet Li.
