The Legendary Martial Artists......Bruce Lee

I fear not the man who has practiced 10 000 kicks, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10 000 times.

This man earned my respect even with his own quotes that not only talks about martial arts, but everything in life......he puts his heart and soul up to everything he does and he is the, by far,the most respected and a very well known legendary martial artists throughout the entire world.






Bruce Lee was born on 27 November 1940, at the Chinese Hospital, in San Francisco's Chinatown. According to the Chinese zodiac, Lee was born in both the hour and the year of the Dragon, which according to tradition is a strong and fortuitous omen.

                                                                        Jeet Kune Do 

Jeet Kune Do originated in 1967. After filming one season of The Green Hornet, Lee found himself out of work and opened The Jun Fan Institute of Gung Fu. The controversial match with Wong Jack Man influenced Lee's philosophy about martial arts. Lee concluded that the fight had lasted too long and that he had failed to live up to his potential using his Wing Chuntechniques. He took the view that traditional martial arts techniques were too rigid and formalistic to be practical in scenarios of chaotic street fighting. Lee decided to develop a system with an emphasis on "practicality, flexibility, speed, and efficiency". He started to use different methods of training such as weight training for strength, running for endurance, stretching for flexibility, and many others which he constantly adapted, including fencing and basic boxing techniques.

Lee emphasised what he called "the style of no style". This consisted of getting rid of the formalised approach which Lee claimed was indicative of traditional styles. Lee felt the system he now called Jun Fan Gung Fu was even too restrictive, and eventually evolved into a philosophy and martial art he would come to call Jeet Kune Do or the Way of the Intercepting Fist. It is a term he would later regret, because Jeet Kune Do implied specific parameters that styles connote; whereas the idea of his martial art was to exist outside of parameters and limitations.

All I can say is that learning martial arts take everything you got......there are no secrets in achieving your goals but it requires some strong determination, a burning desire and passion and a solid iron concentration that can lead you to the path of success....

 
                                                                         

                          

Fear is nothing but an illusion that binds us
from reality, cast them away and you will see the differences...
