A Philosophy of Action
Bruce Lee is a cultural icon of the 20th century. His contribution to the world of martial arts is revolutionary. He broke all the rules and broke barriers which created unity despite cultural differences. Bruce was an innovative philosopher who still influences so many to this day. Bruce Lee once said “Simplicity is the key to Brilliance”. Simplicity should not be complicated, but can find itself being over analyzed. It’s actually harder to be simple than complicated. Words like self-expression and to each his own seem to be used so frequently that many have come to believe Jeet Kune Do is simply a personal interpretation of the art. And because of its philosophical brilliance the Art is easily misunderstood. At the peak of your performance you’ll realize how the principles actually become your teacher. THIS is the philosophical achievement everyone should AIM for! – Octavio Quintero
“JKD is not to hurt, but is one of the avenues through which life opens its secrets to us.”
