Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves has made no secret of his love for martial arts throughout the years, starring in The Matrix and directing the kung-fu film Man of Tai Chi. But with the 2014 action film John Wick, he pushed things to a whole new level. He not only spent months learning judo, but he also studied jiujitsu, which helped give his character the lethal moves featured in the film.
