Finally, A Jeet Kune Do Man Who Says Jeet Kune Do Is Exclusively Jeet Kune Do Is Simply Not With It. He Is Still Hung Up On His Self-closing Resistance, In This Case Anchored Down To Reactionary Pattern, And Naturally Is Still Bound By Another Modified Pattern And Can Move Within Its Limits. He Has Not Digested The Simple Fact That Truth Exists Outside All Molds; Pattern And Awareness Is Never Exclusive. Again Let Me Remind You Jeet Kune Do Is Just A Name Used, A Boat To Get One Across, And Once Across It Is To Be Discarded And Not To Be Carried On One's Back.

A Good Martial Artist Does Not Become Tense, But Ready. Not Thinking, Yet Not Dreaming. Ready For Whatever May Come. When The Opponent Expands, I Contract; And When He Contracts, I Expand. And When There Is An Opportunity, "i" Do Not Hit, "it" Hits All By Itself.

He May Be Severely Beaten Up, Too, But That Will Not Stop Him From Carrying Out His Objective. That Is The Real Fighter.

Moving, Be Like Water. Still, Be Like A Mirror. Respond Like An Echo.

Put Every Great Teacher In A Room, And They'd Agree About Everything, But Put Their Disciples In There And They'd Argue About Everything.

Love Is Like A Friendship Caught On Fire.

I'm Not A Master. I'm A Student-master, Meaning That I Have The Knowledge Of A Master And The Expertise Of A Master, But I'm Still Learning. So I'm A Student-master. I Don't Believe In The Word 'master.' I Consider The Master As Such When They Close The Casket.

Satori - In The Awakening From A Dream. Awakening And Self-realization And Seeing Into One's Own Being - These Are Synonymous.

The Core Of Understanding Lies In The Individual Mind, And Until That Is Touched Everything Is Uncertain And Superficial. Truth Cannot Be Perceived Until We Come To Fully Understand Our Potential And Ourselves. After All, Knowledge In The Martial Arts Ultimately Means Self-knowledge.

To Me, Racial Barriers Do Not Exist In Reality. If I Say That 'everyone Under The Sun Is A Member Of A Universal Family,' You May Think That I Am Bluffing And Being Idealistic.

Conditioning Obstructs Our View Of Reality. We Do Not See It In Its Suchness Because Of Our Indoctrination, Crooked And Twisted.

Never Take Your Eyes Off Your Opponent, Even When You Bow.

The Founder Of Any Branch Must Be More Ingenious Than The Common Man. However, If His Achievement Is Not Carried On By Disciples Of The Same Ingenuity, Then Things Will Only Become Formalized And Get Stuck In A Cul-de-sac; Whereby Breakthrough And Progress Will Be Almost Impossible.

Prosperity Is Apt To Prevent Us From Examining Our Conduct; But Adversity Leads Us To Think Properly Of Our State, And So Is Beneficial To Us.

The Key To Immortality Is First Living A Life Worth Remembering.

Too Much Horsing Around With Unrealistic Stances And Classic Forms And Rituals Is Just Too Artificial And Mechanical, And Doesn't Really Prepare The Student For Actual Combat. A Guy Could Get Clobbered While Getting Into This Classical Mess. Classical Methods Like These, Which I Consider A Form Of Paralysis, Only Solidify And Constrain What Was Once Fluid. Their Practitioners Are Merely Blindly Rehearsing Routines And Stunts That Will Lead Nowhere.

Knowledge Earns You Power, Character Earns You Respect.

A Wise Man Can Learn More From A Foolish Question Than A Fool Can Learn From A Wise Answer.

If You Want To Learn To Swim Jump Into The Water. On Dry Land No Frame Of Mind Is Ever Going To Help You.

Art Calls For Complete Mastery Of Techniques, Developed By Reflection Within The Soul.

It Is The Man That Has Nothing To Lose Or Is Willing To Lose Everything To Beat You That I Am Afraid Of. If A Man Is Willing To Lose His Life To Bite Off My Nose Then I Don't Care How Good I Am Or What I Do To Him- He's Gonna Get My Nose.

Simplicity Of Expression Rather Than Complexity Of Form.

How Can There Be Methods And Systems To Arrive At Something That Is Living? To That Which Is Static, Fixed, Dead, There Can Be A Way, A Definite Path, But Not To That Which Is Living. Do Not Reduce Reality To A Static Thing And Then Invent Methods To Reach It. ...truth Has No Path. Truth Is Living And, Therefore, Changing. It Has No Resting Place, No Form, No Organized Institution, No Philosophy. When You See That, You Will Understand That This Living Thing Is Also What You Are. You Cannot Express And Be Alive Through Static, Put-together Form, Through Stylized Movement.

Do Not Pray For An Easy Life, Pray For The Strength To Endure A Difficult One

To Me, Ultimately, Martial Arts Means Honestly Expressing Yourself.

Express Yourself

To Change With Change Is The Changeless State

What Is True Stillness? Stillness In Movement.

If You Want To Be Immortal Live A Life Worth Remembering

I'm Moving And Not Moving At All. I'm Like The Moon Underneath The Waves That Ever Go On Rolling And Rocking. It Is Not, "i Am Doing This," But Rather, An Inner Realization That "this Is Happening Through Me," Or "it Is Doing This For Me." The Consciousness Of Self Is The Greatest Hindrance To The Proper Execution Of All Physical Action.

Jeet Kune Do Favors Formlessness So That It Can Assume All Forms And Since Jeet Kune Do Has No Style, It Can Fit In With All Styles. As A Result, Jeet Kune Do Utilizes All Ways And Is Bound By None And, Likewise, Uses Any Techniques Which Serve Its End.

Its Like A Finger Pointing Away To The Moon. Dont Concentrate On The Finger Or You Will Miss All That Heavenly Glory.

Practice All Movements Slow And Fast, Soft And Hard; The Effectiveness Of Jeet Kune-do Depends On Split-second Timing And Reflexive Action, Which Can Be Achieved Only Through Repetitious Practice.

Efficiency Is Anything That Scores.

The Truth Is Outside Of All Fixed Patterns.

Make At Least One Definite Move Daily Toward Your Goal.

If People Say Jeet Kune Do Is Different From This Or From That, Then Let The Name Of Jeet Kune Do Be Wiped Out, For That Is What It Is, Just A Name. Please Don't Fuss Over It.

For Something That Is Static, Fixed, Dead, There Can Be A Way Or A Definite Path; But Not For Anything That Is Moving And Living.

An Instructor Should Exemplify The Things He Seeks To Teach. It Will Be Of Great Advantage If You Yourself Can Do All You Ask Of Your Students And More.

The Man Who Is Really Serious, With The Urge To Find Out What Truth Is, Has No Style At All. He Lives Only In What Is.

To Be Bound By Traditional Martial Art Style Or Styles Is The Way Of The Mindless, Enslaved Martial Artist. But To Be Inspired By The Traditional Martial Art And To Achieve Further Heights Is The Way Of Genius.

It Is True That The Mental Aspect Of Kung-fu Is The Desired End; However, To Achieve This End, Technical Skill Must Come First.

A Good Martial Artist Does Not Become Tend But Ready, Not Thinking But Jet Not Dreaming. Ready For Whatever May Come.

To Me, Ultimately, Martial Arts Means Honestly Expressing Yourself. Now, It Is Very Difficult To Do. It Has Always Been Very Easy For Me To Put On A Show And Be Cocky, And Be Flooded With A Cocky Feeling And Feel Pretty Cool And All That. I Can Make All Kinds Of Phoney Things. Blinded By It. Or I Can Show Some Really Fancy Movement. But To Experience Oneself Honestly, Not Lying To Oneself, And To Express Myself Honestly, Now That Is Very Hard To Do.

Knowledge , Surely, Is Always Of Time , Whereas Knowing Is Not Of Time. Knowledge Is From A Source, From Accumulation, From Conclusion, While Knowing Is A Movement.

Taoist Philosophy Is Essentially Monistic. Matter And Energy, Yang And Yin, Heaven And Earth, Are Conceived Of As Essentially One Or As Two Coexistent Poles Of One Indivisible Whole.

There Is No Such Thing As Maturity. There Is Instead An Ever-evolving Process Of Maturing. Because When There Is A Maturity, There Is A Conclusion And A Cessation. That’s The End. That’s When The Coffin Is Closed. You Might Be Deteriorating Physically In The Long Process Of Aging, But Your Personal Process Of Daily Discovery Is Ongoing. You Continue To Learn More And More About Yourself Every Day.

To Be Honest To Oneself, And That Is Very Hard To Do.

Boards Don't Hit Back.

What Comes After Victory? Why Do People Value Victory So Much? What Is 'glory'? What Kind Of Victory Is 'glorious'?

When One Is Not Expressing Himself, He Is Not Free. Thus, He Begins To Struggle And The Struggle Breeds Methodical Routine. Soon, He Is Doing His Methodical Routine As Response Rather Than Responding To What Is.

I Have Come To Understand That Life Is Best To Be Lived And Not To Be Conceptualized. I Am Happy Because I Am Growing Daily And I Am Honestly Not Knowing Where The Limit Lies.

While It May Come As A Profound Surprise To Those Of Us Who Are In The Throes Of An Emotional Or Life Crisis, The Fact Remains That The Answer To Virtually All Of Our Problems Resides Within Us Already. It Exist In The Form Of A Vast Reservoir Of Free-flowing Energy That, When Channeled To Our Muscles, Can Give Us Great Strength And, When Channeled To Our Brain, Can Give Us Great Insight And Understanding.

The Less Effort, The Faster And More Powerful You Will Be.

All Types Of Knowledge Ultimately Lead To Self-knowledge. So, Therefore, These People Are Asking Me To Teach Them, Not So Much How To Defend Themselves Or How To Do Somebody In. Rather, They Want To Learn To Express Themselves Through Some Movement, Be It Anger, Be It Determination Or Whatever. So, In Other Words, They're Paying Me To Show Them, In Combative Form, The Art Of Expressing The Human Body.

The Change Is From Inner To Outer. We Start By Dissolving Our Attitude Not By Altering Outer Conditions.

Stop Wasting Time In Playing A Role Or A Concept. Instead, Learn To Actualize Yourself, Your Potential.

Do Not Have An Attitude, Open Yourself And Focus Yourself And Express Yourself. Reject External Form That Fails To Express Internal Reality.

But To Those Who Kept Saying "it Can't Be Done," Never Are The Victories Or The Honors Won. But, Rather, By The Believing, Doing Kind, While The Doubters Watched From Far Behind.

Using No Way As A Way, Having No Limitation As Limitation.

Everything You Do, If Not In A Relaxed State Will Be Done At A Lesser Level Than You Are Proficient. Thus The Tensed Expert Marksman Will Aim At A Level Less Than His/her Student.

Self-conquest Is The Greatest Of Victories. Mighty Is He Who Conquers Himself.

People Fear What They Do Not Understand.

You And Your Opponent Are One. There Is A Coexisting Relationship Between You. You Coexist With Your Opponent And Become His Complement, Absorbing His Attack And Using His Force To Overcome Him.

When Finger Point At Moon, Don't Look At Finger Or You'll Miss The Moon.

Time Means A Lot To Me Because, You See, I, Too, Am Also A Learner And Am Often Lost In The Joy Of Forever Developing And Simplifying. If You Love Life, Don't Waste Time, For Time Is What Life Is Made Up Of.

We Have Great Work Ahead Of Us, And It Needs Devotion And Much, Much Energy. To Grow, To Discover, We Need Involvement.

Sorrows Are Our Best Educator. A Man Can See Further Through A Tear Than A Telescope.

Do Not Like, Do Not Dislike; All Will Then Be Clear. Make A Hairbreadth Difference And Heaven And Earth Are Set Apart.

Things Live By Moving And Gain Strength As They Go.

If I Should Die Tomorrow, I Will Have No Regrets. I Did What I Wanted To Do. You Can't Expect More From Life.

For It Is Easy To Criticize And Break Down The Spirit Of Others, But To Know Yourself Takes A Lifetime.

The Second-hand Artist Blindly Following His Sensei Or Sifu Accepts His Pattern. As A Result, His Action Is And , More Importantly, His Thinking Become Mechanical. His Responses Become Automatic, According To Set Patterns, Making Him Narrow And Limited.

Live A Life Worth Remembering.

My Strength Comes From My Abdomen. It's The Center Of Gravity And The Source Of Real Power.

It Is Easy For Me To Put On A Show And Be Cocky..but To Express Oneself Honestly Not Lying To Oneself, Now That My Friend Is Very Hard To Do

Let Nature Take Its Course And Your Tools Will Strike At The Right Moment.

To Realize Freedom The Mind Has To Learn To Look At Life, Which Is A Vast Movement, Without The Bondage Of Time , For Freedom Lies Beyond The Field Of Consciousness Care For Watching, But Don't Stop And Interpret "i Am Free," Then You're Living In A Memory Of Something That Has Gone Before.

Not Being Tense But Ready. Not Thinking But Not Dreaming. Not Being Set But Flexible. Liberation From The Uneasy Sense Of Confinement. It Is Being Wholly And Quietly Alive, Aware And Alert, Ready For Whatever May Come.

If Nothing Within You Stays Rigid, Outward Things Will Disclose Themselves. Moving, Be Like Water. Still, Be Like A Mirror. Respond Like An Echo.

Do Not Be Tense, Just Be Ready, Not Thinking But Not Dreaming, Not Being Set But Being Flexible.

Do Not Run Away; Let Go. Do Not Seek; For It Will Come When Least Expected.

If I Tell You I'm Good, Probably You Will Say I'm Boasting. But If I Tell You I'm Not Good, You'll Know I'm Lying.

The Primary Reality Is Not What I Think, But That I Live, For Those Also Live Who Do Not Think.

Mistakes Are Always Forgivable, If One Has The Courage To Admit Them.

Because One Does Not Want To Be Disturbed, To Be Made Uncertain, He Establishes A Pattern Of Conduct, Of Thought, A Pattern Of Relationships To Man. He Then Becomes A Slave To The Pattern And Takes The Pattern To Be The Real Thing.

It Is Useless To Try To Stir The Dirt Out Of The Muddy Water, As It Will Become Murkier. But Leave It Alone, And If It Should Be Cleared; It Will Become Clear By Itself.
