How do they do all the martial arts and fight scenes in the Matrix films? I find it hard to believe that Kianu Reeves and the rest of the actors that starred in it are that good at martial arts.

A lot green screen work, practising the moves and sequences until they flow, high speed cameras, clever editing, stunt doubles, CGI and good old wire work (which I do where I work ;) )
They arent necessarily good at martial arts. They act - they learn what they are to do until it looks 'realistic'

With wires and high speed cameras, lots of them. Watch the special features on the first movie, their is a part about how they did all the special effects. It's really cool stuff.

They either have stunt doubles or the have wires on usually the always have wires in even if they have a stunt double.Like Jackie Chan he has wires but most likely no stunt double.

wire work, cgi, ground breaking new filming techniques and months of physical training. See the link for more detail
as for stunt doubles, the actors did do over half their own stunt work

They learned just enough so that they could look good, plus the wire-flying helped as well.

They just learned the moved and practiced them until they looked spontaneous.
