As an athlete

Jet Li participated in the sport of wushu in the non-sparring event. He began his wushu of the Beijing Wushu team, an athletic group organized to perform martial arts forms during the All China Games. As a member of the team, he received wushu training and went on to win fifteen gold medals and one silver medal in Chinese wushu championships:

    * 1974 - Youth National Athletic Competition: broadsword form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, all-round gold medal;

    * 1975 - Third Chinese Wushu Championships: long fist form gold medal, spear form silver medal

    * 1977 - National Wushu Competition: long-fist form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal

    * 1978 - National Wushu Competition: long-fist form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal, all-round gold medal;

    * 1979 - Fourth Chinese Wushu Championships: long-fist form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal, sparring form gold medal, all-round gold medal.

All his optional empty-hand form medals were won with a form called fanzi yingzhaoquan (翻子鷹爪拳, Fanzi eagle claw). His success led to the PRC declaring Jet Li to be a "National Treasure".
