I think it all depends on what discipline you train in. Aikido is one of the more respected forms, but I think the board breaking thing is kind of a parlor trick to demonstrate focus and strength. I don't see a point to it...unless your opponent is laying across two cynder blocks and not moving. Lol. It works well for demos, though. I've tried my hand at a few different disciplines. I took Tae Kwon Do for a while. After that was Bushidokan (a combination of Okinawan Shorin Ryu, Judo, and Jujitsu). After a few years of that I took Krav Maga which was just too damn brutal for me...I wanted a combo of discipline and ability, not just to poke someone's eyes out. Lastly I tried my hand at Jodo...a stick fighting method. Didn't do too well there. As one can guess my upper body dexterity isn't the shit. Hehe. As for Jet Li vs. Jackie Chan...stunts don't impress me. Jet Li's movies are more skill oriented and he rarely uses stunts. Unless, of course, you count wireworks which I'm convinced that Li would use to get a fucking cheeseburger if he could. Put them in a room together and Chan ain't walking out.
