In this section i have included what for me are some of Bruce Lee's best thoughts on martial arts and other things.
These thoughts have been collected from different books, interviews, and documentaries.
As long as i can remember i feel i have had this great creative spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence,
greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which i hold in my hand.
To me 99% of the whole business of Oriental self-defence is baloney. Its fancy jazz. It looks good, but it does'nt work.
The future looks extremely bright indeed, with lots of possiblities. Like the song says, 'We've only just begun'.
Ever since i was a child i have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential
To reach me, you must move to me. Your preparation of attack offers me a directional commitment to intercept you.
Jeet Kune Do is fitting in with one's opponent, but there is no path, no self, and no goal.
Jeet Kune Do is only a name. The most important thing is to avoid having bias in the training. Although the principle of boxing is important, practicality is even more important.
When i say 'styleless style', i mean a style that has the totality without partiality.
I mean 'styles' kind of restrict you to one way of doing it and therefore limit your human capacity, you know?
The highest art is no art. The best form is no form.
Jeet Kune Do is not a method of concentration or meditation. It is being. It is an experience, a way that is not a way.
Do not seek it, for it will come when least expected.
Dont just charge in blindly, you have to listen, listen!
Atleast once a month i will update this section by adding new thoughts of Bruce Lee on martial arts and life.
