A Man Must Constantly Exceed His Level

A Good Teacher Can Never Be Fixed In A Routine... Each Moment Requires A Sensitive Mind That Is Constantly Changing And Constantly Adapting. A Teacher Must Never Impose This Student To Fit His Favourite Pattern; A Good Teacher Functions As A Pointer, Exposing His Student's Vulnerability And Causing Him To Explore Both Internally And Finally Integrating Himself With His Being. Martial Art Should Not Be Passed Out Indiscriminately.

All Fixed Set Patterns Are Incapable Of Adaptability Or Pliability. The Truth Is Outside Of All Fixed Patterns.

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.

There Is A Powerful Craving In Most Of Us To See Ourselves As Instruments In The Hands Of Others And Thus Free Ourselves From The Responsibility For Acts Which Are Prompted By Our Own Questionable Inclinations And Impulses. Both The Strong And The Weak Grasp At This Alibi. The Latter Hide Their Malevolence Under The Virtue Of Obedience: They Acted Dishonorably Because They Had To Obey Orders. The Strong, Too, Claim Absolution By Proclaiming Themselves The Chosen Instrument Of A Higher Power -- God, History, Fate, Nation, Or Humanity.

Preparation For Tomorrow Is Hard Work Today.

Life Is Better Lived Than Conceptualized. — This Writing Can Be Less Demanding Should I Allow Myself To Indulge In The Usual Manipulating Game Of Role Creation. Fortunately For Me, My Self-knowledge Has Transcended That And I’ve Come To Understand That Life Is Best To Be Lived — Not To Be Conceptualized. If You Have To Think, You Still Do Not Understand.

Life Is Wide, Limitless. There Is No Border, No Frontier.

Things Live By Moving And Gain Strength As They Go.

Self-knowledge Is The Basis Of Jeet Kune Do Because It Is Effective Not Only For The Individual's Martial Art But Also For His Life As A Human Being.

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

Meditation Means To Be Free From All Phenomena And Calmness Means To Be Internally Unperturbed. There Will Be Calmness When One Is Free From External Objects And Is Not Perturbed.

An Intelligent Mind Is An Inquiring Mind. It Is Not Satisfied With Explanation, With Conclusions. Nor Is It A Mind That Believes, Because Belief Is Again Another Form Of Conclusion.

I Don't Know What Is The Meaning Of Death, But I Am Not Afraid To Die - And I Go On, Non-stop, Going Forward With Life. Even Though I, Bruce Lee, May Die Some Day Without Fulfilling All Of My Ambitions, I Will Have No Regrets. I Did What I Wanted To Do And What I've Done, I've Done With Sincerity And To The Best Of My Ability. You Can't Expect Much More From Life.

Styles Tend To Not Only Separate Men - Because They Have Their Own Doctrines And Then The Doctrine Became The Gospel Truth That You Cannot Change. But If You Do Not Have A Style, If You Just Say: Well, Here I Am As A Human Being, How Can I Express Myself Totally And Completely? Now, That Way You Won't Create A Style, Because Style Is A Crystallization . That Way, It's A Process Of Continuing Growth.

The Height Of Cultivation Always Runs To Simplicity ... The Ability To Express The Utmost With The Minimum. It Is The Halfway Cultivation That Leads To Ornamentation.

Before I Studied The Art, A Punch To Me Was Just Like A Punch, A Kick Just Like A Kick. After I Learned The Art, A Punch Was No Longer A Punch, A Kick No Longer A Kick. Now That I've Understood The Art, A Punch Is Just Like A Punch, A Kick Just Like A Kick. The Height Of Cultivation Is Really Nothing Special. It Is Merely Simplicity; The Ability To Express The Utmost With The Minimum.

A Quality Martial Artist Is Always Ready For Any Move, And Trains Oneself Invincible.

We [tend To] Have More Faith In What We Imitate Than In What We Originate. We [often Feel That We] Cannot Derive A Sense Of Absolute Certitude From Anything Which Has Its Root In Us. The Most Poignant Sense Of Insecurity Comes From Standing Alone; We Are Not Alone When We Imitate.

Truth Has No Path. Truth Is Living And, Therefore, Changing. Awareness Is Without Choice, Without Demand, Without Anxiety; In That State Of Mind, There Is Perception. To Know Oneself Is To Study Oneself In Action With Another Person. Awareness Has No Frontier; It Is Giving Of Your Whole Being, Without Exclusion.

What We Are After Is The Root And Not The Branches. The Root Is The Real Knowledge; The Branches Are Surface Knowledge. Real Knowledge Breeds 'body Feel' And Personal Expression; Surface Knowledge Breeds Mechanical Conditioning And Imposing Limitation And Squelches Creativity.

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.

The Best Form Of Endurance Exercise Is The Performance Of The Event.

One Should Be In Harmony With, Not In Opposition To, The Strength And Force Of The Opposition. This Means That One Should Do Nothing That Is Not Natural Or Spontaneous; The Important Thing Is Not To Strain In Any Way.

Knowledge Earns You Power, Character Earns You Respect.

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.

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.

In Order To Realize Our True Self We Must Be Willing To Live Without Being Dependent Upon The Opinion Of Others.

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

A Martial Artist Has To Take Responsibility For Himself And Accept The Consequences Of His Own Doing.

Absorb What Is Useful, Discard What Is Not, Add What Is Uniquely Your Own.

The Height Of Cultivation Always Runs To Simplicity.

The Knowledge And Skills You Have Achieved Are Meant To Be Forgotten So You Can Float Comfortably In Emptiness, Without Obstruction.

Love Is Like A Friendship Caught On Fire. In The Beginning A Flame, Very Pretty, Often Hot And Fierce, But Still Only Light And Flickering. As Love Grows Older, Our Hearts Mature And Our Love Becomes As Coals, Deep-burning And Unquenchable.

Empty Your Mind, Be Formless, Shapeless - Like Water.

You Must Have Complete Determination. The Worst Opponent You Can Come Across Is One Whose Aim Has Become An Obsession. For Instance, If A Man Has Decided That He Is Going To Bite Off Your Nose No Matter What Happens To Him In The Process, The Chances Are He Will Succeed In Doing It. He May Be Severely Beaten Up, Too, But That Will Not Stop Him From Carrying Out His Objective. That Is The Real Fighter.

Be Like Water Making Its Way Through Cracks. Do Not Be Assertive, But Adjust To The Object, And You Shall Find A Way Round Or Through It. If Nothing Within You Stays Rigid, Outward Things Will Disclose Themselves.

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.

A Powerful Athlete Is Not A Strong Athlete, But One Who Can Exert His Strength Quickly. Since Power Equals Force Times Speed, If The Athlete Learns To Make Faster Movements He Increases His Power, Even Though The Contractile Pulling Strength Of His Muscles Remains Unchanged. Thus, A Smaller Man Who Can Swing Faster May Hit As Hard Or As Far As The Heavier Man Who Swings Slowly.

Having Totality Means Being Capable Of Following "what Is," Because "what Is" Is Constantly Moving And Constantly Changing. If One Is Anchored To A Particular View, One Will Not Be Able To Follow The Swift Movement Of "what Is.

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.

Fear Comes From Uncertainty; We Can Eliminate The Fear Within Us When We Know Ourselves Better. As The Great Sun Tzu Said: “when You Know Yourself And Your Opponent, You Will Win Every Time. When You Know Yourself But Not Your Opponent, You Will Win One And Lose One. However, When You Do Not Know Yourself Or Your Opponent, You Will Be Imperiled Every Time.

Faith Makes It Possible To Achieve That Which Man's Mind Can Conceive And Believe.

Obey The Principles Without Being Bound By Them.

Art Lives Where Absolute Freedom Is, Because Where It Is Not, There Can Be No Creativity.

Absolute Freedom

We Are Told That Talent Creates Opportunity, Yet It Is Desire That Creates Talent.

There Is No Mystery About My Style. My Movements Are Simple, Direct And Non-classical. The Extraordinary Part Of It Lies In Its Simplicity. Every Movement In Jeet Kune-do Is Being So Of Itself. There Is Nothing Artificial About It. I Always Believe That The Easy Way Is The Right Way.

Long-term Consistency Trumps Short-term Intensity.

It's Not The Daily Increase But Daily Decrease. Hack Away At The Unessential.

Thought Provoking

Can You Look At A Situation Without Naming It? Naming It, Making It A Word, Causes Fear.

Efficiency Is Anything That Scores.

The Biggest Adversary In Our Life Is Ourselves. We Are What We Are, In A Sense, Because Of The Dominating Thoughts We Allow To Gather In Our Head. All Concepts Of Self-improvement, All Actions And Paths We Take, Relate Solely To Our Abstract Image Of Ourselves. Life Is Limited Only By How We Really See Ourselves And Feel About Our Being. A Great Deal Of Pure Self-knowledge And Inner Understanding Allows Us To Lay An All-important Foundation For The Structure Of Our Life From Which We Can Perceive And Take The Right Avenues.

Your State Of Mind Is Everything.

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.

The Ideal Is Unnatural Naturalness, Or Natural Unnaturalness. I Mean It Is A Combination Of Both. I Mean Here Is Natural Instinct And Here Is Control. You Are To Combine The Two In Harmony. Not If You Have One To The Extreme, You'll Be Very Unscientific. If You Have Another To The Extreme, You Become, All Of A Sudden, A Mechanical Man No Longer A Human Being. It Is A Successful Combination Of Both. That Way It Is A Process Of Continuing Growth.

In Buddhism, There Is No Place For Using Effort. Just Be Ordinary And Nothing Special. Eat Your Food, Move Your Bowels, Pass Water And When You're Tired Go And Lie Down. The Ignorant Will Laugh At Me, But The Wise Will Understand.

Those Who Are Unaware They Are Walking In Darkness Will Never Seek The Light.

Concentration Is The Root Of All The Higher Abilities In Man.

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.

Remember, You Are Expressing The Techniques And Not Doing The Techniques.

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

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

Motivational Sports

The Consciousness Of Self Is The Greatest Hindrance To The Proper Execution Of All Physical Action.

I Am Not Afraid Of A Person Who Knows 10000 Kicks. But I Am Afraid Of A Person Who Knows One Kick But Practices It For 10000 Times.

Make At Least One Definite Move Daily Toward Your Goal.

Be A Calm Beholder Of What Is Happening Around You.

The Great Mistake Is To Anticipate The Outcome Of The Engagement; You Ought Not To Be Thinking Of Whether It Ends In Victory Or Defeat. Let Nature Take Its Course, And Your Tools Will Strike At The Right Moment.

When You're Talking About Fighting, As It Is, With No Rules, Well Then, Baby You'd Better Train Every Part Of Your Body!

Relationship Is The Mirror In Which You Discover Yourself - To Be Is To Be Related.

Self Evaluation

I Am Not Teaching You Anything. I Just Help You To Explore Yourself.

If Mere Mechanical Efficiency Can Make Everyone A Martial Artist, Then All Is Well. Unfortunately, Combat, Like Freedom, Is Something That Can Not Be Preconceived.

Practice Makes Perfect. After A Long Time Of Practicing, Our Work Will Become Natural, Skillfull, Swift, And Steady.

The Spirit Of The Individual Is Determined By His Dominating Thought Habits.

Voidness Is That Which Stands Right In The Middle Between This And That.

Forget About Winning And Losing; Forget About Pride And Pain. Let Your Opponent Graze Your Skin And You Smash Into His Flesh; Let Him Smash Into Your Flesh And You Fracture His Bones; Let Him Fracture Your Bones And You Take His Life! Do Not Be Concerned With Escaping Safely- Lay Your Life Before Him!!

Always Be Yourself, Express Yourself, Have Faith In Yourself, Do Not Go Out And Look For A Successful Personality And Duplicate It.

One Does Not Accumulate But Eliminate. It Is Not Daily Increase But Daily Decrease. The Height Of Cultivation Always Runs To Simplicity.

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.

Give Up Thinking As Though Not Giving It Up. Observe Techniques As Though Not Observing.

Know The Difference Between A Catastrophe And An Inconvenience. - To Realize That It's Just An Inconvenience, That It Is Not A Catastrophe, But Just An Unpleasantness, Is Part Of Coming Into Your Own, Part Of Waking Up.

The Word "superstar" Is An Ilusion

You Must Accept The Fact That There Is No Help But Self-help. I Cannot Tell You How To Gain Freedom Since Freedom Exists Within You.

All Types Of Knowledge, Ultimately Mean Self Knowledge.

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

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

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 Abdominal And Waist Region Coordinate All Parts Of The Body And Act As The Center Or Generator. Therefore, You Can Promote The Ability To Control The Body's Action And Master Your Will More Easily.

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. It Is Living Void, Because All Forms Come Out Of It And Whoever Realizes The Void Is Filled With Life And Power And The Love Of All Beings.

Even Today, I Dare Not Say That I Have Reached A State Of Achievement. I'm Still Learning, For Learning Is Boundless.

I Believe In Teaching Just A Few Students, As Teaching Requires A Constant Alert Observation On Each Individual In Order To Establish A Direct Relationship. A Good Teacher Cannot Be Fixed In A Routine, And Many Are Just That. During Teaching, Each Moment Requires A Sensitive Mind That Is Constantly Changing And Constantly Adapting.

Everyone Wants To Learn How To Win, But No One Wants To Learn How To Accept Defeat.
