Hello fellow Jay Fans.

Jay has the moves of someone that has his mind and body under so much control. I guess that comes with the martial arts skills that he possess. I understand those skills require a lot of self discipline, grace, smoothness, concentration, and so on and so on. Not to mention the self discipline it takes to keep his physique so sculptured.

I just want to say, that when Jay walks, turns, runs, jumps, peform his own stunts, whatever...... he does it so gracefully.

I just love watching him in action in Street Fighter. His body lanquage in Unbowed, Adaptation and The Missing. His smooth moves in Cold Mountain.

He is definitely one of the best, if not the best at his art.

Of course, that is just my opinion and i am speaking from a partial point of view.

Running Fox: I agree with you wholeheartedly. I could tell he was a trained dancer even before Sage told us. It is just not the grace of his movement but the manner in which he conducts himself that is even more graceful.

I truly could watch Jay walk and listen to him speak all day long! There is just something that is so mesmerizing about him.

Hello Running Red Fox, you have made a valid observation. There is a poetry to his motion and I'm sure it comes from years of Dance and Martial Arts and Gymnastics. He's extremely coordinated. He moves in a cat like grace. Just watch him mount his horse in The Missing! I was told that horse stood 17 1/2 hands high and even the stunt team were impressed with ease and grace he pounced on it's back. The jump in the crater in the Cold Mountain was 40 feet deep and he did it with a hair line fracture on his right knee, or the way he runs up the ladder like he was a Skywalker all his life. In Streetfighter Benny the Jet who is the trainer to the stars and a Martial Art legend had said ... Give me 10 Actors like Jay and I will give you the biggest Block Buster in Action Films History! Even the way he first climbs to the roof in Unbowed. There is no doubt that Jay is a physical Phenomenon and some of the greatest Film Actors had that in common with him... Like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin and Cary Grant who was an Acrobat in his earlier life and more recently Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Yes, I also think he is unique and one of the best in what he does and I don't think he has shown us his best yet.
