Concepts Vs. Self-actualization. - Instead Of Dedicating Your Life To Actualize A Concept Of What You Should Be Like, Actualize Yourself. The Process Of Maturing Does Not Mean To Become A Captive Of Conceptualization. It Is To Come To The Realization Of What Lies In Our Innermost Selves.

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.

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.

A Good Teacher Can Never Be Fixed In A Routine... Each Moment Requires A Sensitive Mind That Is Constantly Changing And Constantly Adapting.

Martial Art Should Not Be Passed Out Indiscriminately.

Voidness Is That Which Stands Right In The Middle Between This And That. The Void Is All-inclusive, Having No Opposite--there Is Nothing Which It Excludes Or Opposes.

I Don't Believe In Different Ways Of Fighting Now. I Mean, Unless Human Beings Have 3 Arms And 3 Legs, Then We Will Have A Different Way Of Fighting. But Basically We All Have Two Arms And Two Legs So That Is Why I Believe There Should Be Only One Way Of Fighting And That Is No Way.

It Is Merely Simplicity; The Ability To Express The Utmost With The Minimum.

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.
