Everyone, here is a video that
introduces Wuji, a system of health and
fitness that was co-developed by Adidas and myself. Wuji seeks to
combine physical fitness with mental well-being. The philosophy is
simple: health, both mind and body, is very important, and exercise
should improve both. Wuji combines a healthy state of mind and useful
exercise techniques. June marks the launch of Wuji in China. Wuji is available in all of China and Hong Kong.
Hi everyone, thanks again for
being so supportive, it always means so much. Today I have some
exciting news. Recently Adidas Shanghai launched a new project that has
been in the works for several years. I began the concept in humble
roots, but fortunately found Adidas as a partner and supporter. Over
the next few weeks I will upload some of the philosophies, stories, and
multi-media content to shed more light.
Hello everyone, a quick update: I am still here in lovely New Orleans. Our shoots in the past 2 weeks have taken us from the a historic Civil War fort on the edge of the Bayou to an all-American, classic machine shop. Last week we shot our first fight segment with the wonderful Steve Austin, and we expect more exciting segments in the coming weeks. I hope you all enjoyed a great holiday weekend.
The One Foundation recently hosted the 'One Family, Walking Together'
memorial event to mark the one year anniversary of the May 12th
earthquake that struck Wenchuan County in Sichuan, China.
Among the artists who came to support was Hong Kong actor and alivenotdead.com co-founder Daniel Wu. Daniel took the opportunity to sit down with the One Foundation's founder Jet Li for an informal interview to share some information about the Sichuan Earthquake memorial event and the goals of the One Foundation. Daniel's blog about his visit can be seen here.
The video of Daniel's interview can be seen in its entirety in the following videos: Part 1: (Youtube HD, Youku)
Hi everyone, thank you all for
the positive messages and support. It is simply phenomenal to hear from
so many of you, and it is even more meaningful to see all of you taking
an interest in a worth cause and sharing your compassion.
As the
week-long remembrance continues, here is part 2 of the 2 part mini
series that we shot when we returned to Sichuan to visit some of the
children that we have helped.
Born in Beijing, Jet Li began studying wushu (the Chinese term for martial arts) at the age of 8. After three years of extensive training, Li won his first national championship for the Beijing Wushu Team. Jet Li was selected by the government to represent the country in over 45 countries by performing martial arts at various state functions. The most famous, in terms of history, was his 1974 performance at the Rose Garden of the White House for President Richard Nixon, after he had just reopened American diplomatic relations with China. For the next five years (1974-1979), he remained the All-Around National Wushu Champion of China.
Shortly after retiring from the sport at the age of 17, his film career kicked off with director Chang Hsin Yen and Shaolin Temple. Today his film credits include Lethal Weapon 4 opposite Mel Gibson, Romeo Must Die, The One, Kiss of the Dragon, Hero and The Warlords. He most recently wrapped photography on The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
Li is a Red Cross ambassador and founded the One Foundation, a Chinese-based organization whose goal is to develop China's nascent philanthropy industry. One of the main program areas is to help young people cope with mental well-being and find a balance in life.
