Lee Joon Gi: Flexible Body

It is inspiring to learn that action superstar Lee Joon Gi has taken up Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, which is a martial art as well as a combat sport system. His Brazilian Jiu-jitsu belt was upgraded recently. It is believed that he is preparing himself for some jaw-dropping scenes in his next drama but plot details are shrouded in secrecy.

Most of Lee Joon Gi’s female fans think that they are in no way qualified to talk about martial arts, including Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. They fear to tread on male territory. What they know is that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu focusses on grappling and ground fighting.

The martial art was formed by adapting Judo and borrowing from Kodakan Judo ground fighting fundamentals. It is BJJ’s greater emphasis on ground fighting that differentiates it from other martial arts. Other grappling martial arts tend to spend much more time on the standing phase.

When a BJJ fight is taken to the ground, a fighter can apply joint locks and chokeholds to defeat his opponent.

Unlike in some martial arts such as Judo and Karate, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu commonly takes several years to earn, and the rank is generally considered expert level.

Being athletic and sporty, Lee Joon Gi also has other martial arts achievements: 4th Dan Taekwondo black belt, 1st Dan Hapkido black belt and 1st Dan Taekyeon black belt.

Lee Joon Gi also learned Systema, the Russian martial art, for Criminal Minds in 2017. He also showcased his Parkour skills in the same drama.

In one of his interviews with Harper’s Bazaar, he revealed his knowledge on Wing Chun, a Chinese art of self-defence.

Fans know that Lee had also learned Thai Kick Boxing for his drama, Time Between Dog And Wolf.

They have a pretty good idea that he is also famous for his expert gun and horse riding skills, which he has showcased in many of his dramas.

Many action directors, action choreographers and co-stars have plenty of praises for Lee Joon Gi’s extraordinary action performance. He is seen as an actor who is a ‘stunt expert’ who does all his own stunts. He has also been voted as South Korea’s ‘Top Action Star’ and ‘Unbeatable Action Star’. Even Milla Jovovich had gushed over his amazing martial arts skills in all her interviews for their movie, ‘Resident Evil: The Last Chapter’.

No matter how many times his fans watch his fantastic action scenes, those scenes have never failed to amaze them again and again the way they did when they first saw them.
