Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence -drop them.
Bruce Lee
Image
Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.
