Bruce Lee: his philosophies.
Jet Li and Donnie Yen (and i dont care if they're movie stars)
Yip Man: Bruce Lee's GrandMaster.
Jee Sin Sim See- A benevolent shaolin monk that helped preserve the essence of shaolin martial arts knowledge during the ordered destructions of shaolin by the imperial courts, without him there wouldn't be 100's of styles of southern chinese martial arts out there today(e.g. hung gar, wing chun, choy lee fut). without him, a very large portion of the different chinese martial art styles/schools that is out there today(the popular ones) would not exist in the first place and certainly there wouldn't be bruce lee.
Yang LuChan: the most influential figure in the development of TaiChi.
Jackie Chan IS N.O.T. a martial artist. He's a STUNT MASTER trained in peking opera that formed the backbone of his phsyical agility and flexibililty.
sorry i dont know anything outside of chinese martial arts.
The Gracie Family maybe?

So many stupid answers... Movie stars as a martial arts? People tend to bash the fighter as much as possible because they use martial arts to earn income. but yet praise the movie stars? I'm still trying to understand this one.
buakaw because he's a young guy who manage to become famous overnight. Eventhough his skill is incredible, he still keep his humble and is known to be very friendly toward his fans. He also always put on great show and surprise his fans every time.
I also really have to say Dewey Cooper. He may not have the best record, but he does have huge effect on my life. He taught me a lot of things. He's incredible nice guy, he's very approachable. He's never too busy to help out anyone or take time to talk to his fans.He's always well mannered and respectful toward everybody. He truly have a great heart, he's a really good person and probably one of the best role model I ever had met. I think he goes a long way for someone who have to gain weights to be the smallest (actually second smallest) guy to fight in K-1.

Wow! All time favorite?
Lets see, Zhau Da Yuan for his teachings on Chi Na. Dennis Brown for his teachings on Shaolin Kung Fu. Bruce Lee for breaking the mold and opening the door to Asian martial arts to non-Asians. Jerry Beasley for creating Karate College and bringing some of the best (not just the most famous) martial arts masters together and making them available to everyone. Muhammad Ali (Boxing is a martial art).
And of course Patrick Swayze. I mean, come on! Did you see Roadhouse?
~edit: Just saw the Taimak comment. Gotta add the Last Dragon to the list!

Hands down, Royce Gracie. When the first UFC happend, Royce did what every martial artist is supposed to do in a fight and did it being smaller than most of his opponents: he finished them with relative ease and without doing any major damage to them. No hard hits, no brutal knock outs, all his opponents walked away with little more than a scratch. At the same time revolutionizing the way we see unarmed combat as a whole. Of course it did inspire me to train in Shootfighting, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and later Thai Boxing.

Has to be Bruce Lee - they guy was amazing. I sometimes think that people do slightly over rate his abilities and he would quite likely get creamed by some of the fighters in the UFC etc - but in his day he was amazing, and if not for him - we would not be experiencing martial arts as we do today. Bruce Lee endured whole loads of sh!t to bring MA to the western world, and he deserves every bit of his credit. RIP

Truman,
hiroshima and nagasaki was the most destructive act in human history.
it was also the most powerfull and beautiful.
I guess einstien should get credit for creating that art too. And the bomber crews who landed the perfect hit on hiroshima. Nagasaki was off the mark but it still got the job done.
