Bruce Lee Philosophy

I'm still sorting out pictures from my trip to LA.

Here's one taken at Richard Bustillo's school in the south bay.
A special hand written note from Bruce Lee:
"Simplicity is the end of art, the beginning of nature"

























I particularly like this statement as it clearly defines where I, and hopefully, YOU want to be.

Whether in martial arts or in life, reaching a point where everything flows.

To transition from TRYING to be a martial artist to just BEING a martial artist.

When it comes to performing techniques they become as natural as walking. Strengthening your mind to a point where giving up is not an option. Acquiring the ability to focus and take action without giving in to distractions realizing control over your will is the supreme court over all departments of your mind.

To understand your emotions are both negative and positive, learning to capitalize on the positive ones while transforming the negative emotions into useful action.

Finding pleasure in intense exercise and being committed to it all your life.

Stay on the path of mastery, self-conquest is the greatest of victories.

Martial Artists are a special breed of people, be proud to call yourself one.
