Tao of Jeet Kune Do, by Bruce Lee - A book review

[@johnbondurant1741]

I was able to get a copy of Tao Of Jeet Kune Do in 1978. I read it like it was the Bible. I learned so much about myself and about becoming a Martial Artist. BRUCE LEE CHANGED MY LIFE! BRUCE LEE CHANGED THE WHOLE WORLD! HE CHANGED HOW MOVIES ARE MADE AND IS STILL RECOGNIZED TODAY AS THE GREATEST MARTIAL ARTIST EVER TO HAVE LIVED. HE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST OR THE STRONGEST BUT HE WAS MY HER😢O . BRUCE LEE IS THE GRANDFATHER OF MMA FIGHTING THE BOOK EXPLAINS WHY! 👏 ENOUGH SAID LONG LIVE THE, "LITTLE DRAGON." ✌️✌️✌️

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; but let nature take its course... and your tools will strike at the right moment. the consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance... to the proper execution of all- the knowledge and skill you have achieved are meant to be forgotten. so you can float- to obtain enlightenment in martial art... means the extinction of everything which- the way to transcend karma lies in the proper use of the mind and the will. jeet kune do is not to hurt... but is one of the avenues through which life opens its secrets to us. relaxation is essential... for faster and more powerful punching. let your lead punch shoot up "loosely and easily. " do not tighten up or clench your fists... until the moment of impact. all punches should end with a snap several inches... behind the target. the art of jeet kune do is simply to simplify. It favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms. kung fu, karate, tae kwan do. all the classical styles are attempts... to arrest the flux of conflict. but in actual combat, the opponent doesn't wait for formalities. he's not a robot, but a human being, fluid and alive. for instance- for instance! like a sculptor who doesn't keep adding clay to a statue... but strips away the inessentials until the truth is revealed. I have developed a way of fighting with no fixed positions... with no set movements. the fancy mess of martial arts... solidifies what was once fluid. It is nothing but blind devotion to the systematic uselessness... of routines that lead nowhere. - Bruce Lee

I enjoyed the words of our, later great, Bruce Lee. " He was my hero growing up. I was about to get a copy of" Tao Of Jeet Kune" back in 1978. I read it like the Bible. I learned so much about myself and about the martial arts. I just wanted to say thank you and it's good to know there's students like yourself and I keeping his wisdom alive. BRUCE LEE CHANGED THE WORLD! BE SAFE MY FRIEND, ✌️
