    This is asking for list of things which StackExchange does not do well at all. Please read the help on what not to ask. – Sardathrion - against SE abuse Jul 05 '17 at 13:01
  • "Celebrity" may be too broad. Of course there are some actors and even musicians known for it (eg. Jackie Chan, or Andy Lau), but eg. Mayweather, Klytsjko, Badr Hari, Hulk Hogan, etc. are all celebrities too. Do you want a list of all known boxers, UFC fighters, K1 fighters, etc? – Raf Jul 05 '17 at 14:18

    @Raf The problem here is not the definition of celebrity. It is the asking for a list of things which cannot be answered definitively as per the FAQ. This is why poll or list questions are always off topic on stack exchange sites. What is the definition of a list question? Those questions are much better suited to a forum. – Sardathrion - against SE abuse Jul 05 '17 at 14:54
  • This question would be better if you narrowed it down - style, level of achievement... something. Do you mean celebrities that the US knows? Because there's plenty of celebrity martial artists from the 90s HK movie scene. How much martial arts training? Like, before or outside of acting/singing/whatever? Many stars end up doing training for specific roles, too. – Bankuei Jul 05 '17 at 17:00

Willie Nelson was awarded his 5th degree black belt on his 81st birthday. Unlike many celebrities holding black belts, Willie has been training for 20 years to earn that rank (i.e. it's real, not honorary).

Chuck Norris is an accomplished Tang Soo Do practitioner and instructor.

Steven Segal is an aikido practitioner. He is unique in that (for a while anyways) he was the only westerner to open a successful martial arts school in Tokyo.

Jet Li is a kung fu practitioner.
