To Me, The Extraordinary Aspect Of Martial Arts Lies In Its Simplicity. The Easy Way Is Also The Right Way, And Martial Arts Is Nothing At All Special; The Closer To The True Way Of Martial Arts, The Less Wastage Of Expression There Is.

Through My Own Observations. I Am Convinced That An Absolutely Honest And Direct Inquiry Into Oneself Will Lead To Understanding.

The Athlete Who Is Building Muscles Though Weight Training Should Be Very Sure To Work Adequately On Speed And Flexibility At The Same Time.

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.

Unfortunately, Now In Boxing People Are Only Allowed To Punch. In Judo, People Are Only Allowed To Throw. I Do Not Despise These Kinds Of Martial Arts. What I Mean Is, We Now Find Rigid Forms Which Create Differences Among Clans, And The World Of Martial Art Is Shattered As A Result.

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. But If Anyone Still Believes In Racial Differences, I Think He Is Too Backward And Narrow In His Perspective. Perhaps He Still Does Not Understand Man's Equality And Love.

More And More I Believe In The Fact That You Have Two Hands And Two Legs, And The Thing Is How To Make Good Use Of Yourself - And That's About It.

Running Water Never Grows Stale.

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.

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.

The Idea Is That Flowing Water Never Goes Stale, So Just Keep On Flowing.

To Contemplate A Thing Implies Maintaining Oneself Outside It, Resolved To Keep A Distance Between It And Ourselves.

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

The Western Approach To Reality Is Mostly Through Theory, And Theory Begins By Denying Reality - To Talk About Reality, To Go Around Reality, To Catch Anything That Attracts Our Sense-intellect And Abstract It Away From Reality Itself. Thus Philosophy Begins By Saying That The Outside World Is Not A Basic Fact, That Its Existence Can Be Doubted And That Every Proposition In Which The Reality Of The Outside World Is Affirmed Is Not An Evident Proposition But One That Needs To Be Divided, Dissected And Analyzed. It Is To Stand Consciously Aside And Try To Square A Circle.

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.

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.

The Past Is No More; The Future Not Yet. Nothing Exists Except The Here And Now. Our Grand Business Is Not To See What Lies Dimly At A Distance, But To Do What Lies Clearly At Our Hands.

Instead Of Dedicating Your Life To Actualize A Concept Of What You Should Be Like, Actualize Yourself.

Conceptualization

Use Karate, Judo, Aikido, Or Any Style To Build Your Counter-offensive. It Will Be Interesting!

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.

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 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.

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.

We Have More Faith In What We Imitate Than In What We Create

The Deluded Mind Is The Mind Affectively Burdened By Intellect. Thus, It Cannot Move Without Stopping And Reflecting On Itself. This Obstructs Its Native Fluidity.

Every Man Today Is The Result Of His Thoughts Yesterday.

Success Is Not In Reaching The Destination, But In Making The Journey.

The Future Looks Extremely Bright Indeed, With Lots Of Possibilities Ahead -- Big Possibilities. Like The Song Says, We've Just Begun.

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.

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.

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

Be Self Aware, Rather Than A Repetitious Robot

Believe Me That In Every Big Thing Or Achievement There Are Always Obstacles-big Or Small- And The Reaction One Shows To Such Obstacles Is What Counts, Not The Obstacle Itself.

The Aim Of Art Is To Project An Inner Vision Into The World.

A Kung Fu Man Lives Without Being Dependant On The Opinions Of Others, And A Master, Unlike The Beginner, Holds Himself In Reserve. He Is Quiet And Unassuming, With No Desire To Show Off.

Get Maximum Effect From Minimum Effort.

Art Is The Way To The Absolute And To The Essence Of Human Life. The Aim Of Art Is Not The One-sided Promotion Of Spirit, Soul And Senses, But The Opening Of All Human Capacities – Thought, Feeling, Will – To The Life Rhythm Of The World Of Nature. So Will The Voiceless Voice Be Heard And The Self Be Brought Into Harmony With It.

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

Don’t Indulge In Any Unnecessary, Sophisticated Moves

Good Technique Includes Quick Changes, Great Variety And Speed. It May Be A System Of Reversals Much Like A Concept Of God And The Devil. In The Speed Of Events, Which One Is Really In Charge? Do They Change Places With Lightning Speed? The Chinese Believe So. To Put The Heart Of The Martial Arts In Your Own Heart And Have It Be A Part Of You Means Total Comprehension.

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 Goal Is Not Always Meant To Be Reached, It Often Serves Simply As Something To Aim At.

Here I Am As A Human Being...how Can I Express Myself, Totally And Completely?

The Most Important Thing To Me Is, How, In The Process Of Learning How To Use My Body, Can I Come To Understand Myself ?

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.

There Is "what Is" Only When There Is No Comparing And To Live With "what Is" Is To Be Peaceful.

Bring The Mind To A Sharp Focus And Make It Alert So That It Can Immediately Intuit Truth, Which Is Everywhere.

Never Trouble Trouble Till Trouble Troubles You. I'll Not Willingly Offend, Nor Be Easily Offended.

Easily Offended

Go Toward Self-actualization Rather Than Self-image Actualization... Search Within... For Honest Self- Expression.

Dedication, Absolute Dedication, Is What Keeps One Ahead!

True Observation Begins When Devoid Of Set Patterns; Freedom Of Expression Occurs When One Is Beyond System.

Freedom Of Expression

You Just Wait. I'm Going To Be The Biggest Chinese Star In The World.

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

My Style? You Can Call It The Art Of Fighting Without Fighting.

He Who Wants To Succeed Should Learn How To Fight, To Strive And To Suffer. You Can Acquire A Lot In Life, If You Are Prepared To Give Up A Lot To Get It.

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.

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

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.

One Great Cause Of Failure Is Lack Of Concentration.

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.

Notice That The Stiffest Tree Is Most Easily Cracked, While The Bamboo Or Willow Survives By Bending With The Wind.

Learn The Principle, Abide By The Principle, And Dissolve The Principle. In Short, Enter A Mold Without Being Caged In It. Obey The Principle Without Being Bound By It. Learn, Master, And Achieve.

If You Spend Too Much Time Thinking About A Thing, You'll Never Get It Done.

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

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.

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.

There’s Only One Basic Principle Of Self-defense- You Must Apply The Most Effective Weapon, As Soon As Possible, To The Most Vulnerable Target.

A Fight Is Not Won By One Punch Or Kick. Either Learn To Endure Or Hire A Bodyguard.

All Martial Art Is Simply An Honest Expression Of One's Body — With A Lot Of Deception In Between.

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

I Refer To My Hands, Feet And Body As The Tools Of The Trade. The Hands And Feet Must Be Sharpened And Improved Daily To Be Efficient.

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

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.

To Develop The Creative Attitude, Analyze And Focus On The Wanted Solution; Seek Out And Fill Your Mind With The Facts; Write Down Ideas, Both Sensible And Seemingly Wild; Let The Facts And Ideas Simmer In Your Mind; Evaluate, Recheck, Settle On The Creative Ideas.

False Teachers Of The Way Of Life Use Flowery Words.

Zen Is Not “attained” By Mirror-wiping Mediation, But By “self-forgetfulness In The Existential 'present' Of Life Here And Now.” We Do Not “come”, We “are.” Don't Strive To Become, But Be.

Linda And I Aren't One And One. We Are Two Halves That Make A Whole -- Two Halves Fitted Together Are More Efficient Than Either Half Would Ever Be Alone!
