Jaden Smith wants to hone martial arts

Hollywood actor Will Smith's son Jaden is planning to go to Hong Kong to become perfect in martial arts after learning the skill in China as part of the preparation for his film Karate Kid.

Co-star Jackie Chan had recently admitted he was impressed by the boy's skill and dedication to martial arts, and has tipped Smith to become the next great action star.

Jaden is now begging his mum to take him to Hong Kong to continue mastering his fighting skill.

"Now he's asking to send him to Hong Kong for two months so he can continue his training. So I'll probably go to Hong Kong for two months and do that," Contactmusic.com quoted Jaden's mother Jada Pinkett Smith as saying.

And the actress wants to make the long-haul journey another family affair - because her nine-year-old daughter Willow wants to improve the language skills she picked up while her brother was filming in China last year.

She added, "I'll take Willow because she's learning Mandarin. She loves to learn Mandarin".
