Jackie Chan Didn’t Train for ‘Karate Kid: Legends’: ‘I Don’t Need to Anymore. I’ve Been Training Every Day for 64 Years’


Jackie Chan says he didn't train for 'Karate Kid: Legends': 'I don't need to anymore. I've been training every day for 64 years.'

When Li is forced to move to New York City, he finds himself tussling with a bully at school, and winds up in the Five Boroughs Tournament. Chan, who first joined the franchise in the 2010 “Karate Kid” starring Jaden Smith, says he didn’t need any training for this new entry. While much of Li’s journey is about building confidence in his moves, Wang says he spent a month and half before shooting even began working with the stunt team.
