"The idea is that flowing water never..." - Quote by Bruce Lee

“Martial arts, like any art, is an unrestricted athletic expression of an individual soul.”

“The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be.”

“A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready.”

“I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.”

“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.”

“Can I jump over two or three guys like I used to? No. Am I as fast as I used to be? No, but I still have the fundamentals and smarts. That's what enables me to still be a dominant player. As a kid growing up, I never skipped steps. I always worked on fundamentals because I know athleticism is fleeting.”

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”

“When you're looking so hard to get on your path, you're putting up resistance that keeps you from finding it.”

“Enthusiasm is when the universe creates through you. You are involved in a creative act. You are bringing something new into this world. When that energy comes in, you feel an intense aliveness that flows into what you do. That is enthusiasm.”
