Be like water, my friend.
Use karate, judo, aikido, or any style to build your counter-offensive. It will be interesting!
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.
The more complicated and restricted the method, the less opportunity for expression of one's original sense of freedom.
My style? You can call it the art of fighting without fighting.
After all, all knowledge simply means self-knowledge.
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.
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.
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.
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.
Don’t indulge in any unnecessary, sophisticated moves
Understanding comes about through feeling, from moment to moment in the mirror of relationship.
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.
Self-will seems to be the only virtue that takes no account of man-made laws.
The attitude, 'You can win if you want to badly enough,' means that the will to win is constant. No amount of punishment, no amount of effort, no condition is too 'tough' to take in order to win. Such an attitude can be developed only if winning is closely tied to the practitioner's ideals and dreams.
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.
The word "superstar" is an ilusion
Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that.
When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Art lives where absolute freedom is, because where it is not, there can be no creativity.
I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves.
There is "what is" only when there is no comparing and to live with "what is" is to be peaceful.
Simplicity of expression rather than complexity of form.
The timeless moment. - The "moment" has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.
