Jackie Chan, Jaden Smith and the Will Smith version of 'wax on, wax off'

Jackie Chan was intimidated about working with Jaden Smith in the remake of "The Karate Kid"? Well heck yeah -- the little actor is Will Smith's kid!

Dad's advice to Jaden? Stay in the scene, the younger Smith said, and don't try to do it the first time, do it the first time. We'll see how he played it when the movie opens this June.

Jaden gives the rundown ... 

... on his martial-arts training leading up to filming "Kid" -- check it out in the video above from the red carpet outside Nickelodeon's 23rd annual Kids' Choice Awards, and click here for a photo gallery of arrivals.

I LOVE the bridge of prejudice being broken! Will Smith, his son, Jaden, and Jackie Chan, are only a few of GODs tools making that bigotry fall! Reguardless of our nationality, race, the color of our skin, kreed, or religeous faith, Dr. Martin Luther King said it best in his, "I have dream" Speech! That a Man would be judged according of the content of his character, rather than the color of his skin!" YES! I share that dream!! Well done Will, Jaden and Jackie!! Will Smith, You must be so proud! Jaden is a really cool kid! My hope and prayer for him is that he remains grounded! Please Jaden, don't go the way of other kid stars like Lyndsey Lohan, Gary Coleman and too many others to name here. You catch my drift, right? May the Almighty GOD of Abraham, Issack and Jacob continue to bless and keep you abundantly! Keep up the good work Guys! Much Love! (:o)
