6 Martial Arts Actors That Don’t Even Have A Black Belt

Martial arts movies are pretty much every action movie fan’s guilty pleasure, aren’t they? It’s so hard to take them seriously, but they’re so entertaining to watch. There’s a plethora of martial arts out there and most actors tend to stick to one of them because it’s pretty much impossible to learn them all and bring them to the silver screen in a convincing matter.

Some martial arts actors however, didn’t even manage to get a black belt in either discipline. That sounds like cheating, but it isn’t really. Let’s take a look.

David Carradine

Despite starring in quite a few kung fu projects like Kill Bill, David doesn’t know any kung fu at all. All he knows is dance and gymnastics. Chuck Norris once said that David is as good a martial artist as Chuck is an actor, which probably says all that needs to be said.

Paul Walker

Paul Walker was an avid practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but he never got his belt while he was alive. Due to his prowess in the sport, he was granted a black belt after his death. Considering how he’d been training for over a decade with great success, it was deserved.
