Training for strength and flexibility is a must. You must use it to support your techniques. Techniques alone are no good if you don't support them with strength and flexibility.

To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.
Bruce Lee

True refinement seeks simplicity.
Bruce Lee

Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, actualize yourself.
Bruce Lee
Image
As long as we separate this oneness into two we won't achieve realization.
Bruce Lee

In combat, spontaneity rules rote performance of technique perishes.
Bruce Lee
Image
Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
Bruce Lee

The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without the prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with its colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit.

Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.

The word superstar is an ilusion
Bruce Lee
Image
A kung fu man who was really good was not proud at all. Pride emphasizes the superiority of one's status. There has to be fear and insecurity in pride, because when you aim at being highly esteemed and achieve such status, you automatically start to worry about losing status.
Bruce Lee
Image
A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit, it hits all by itself.
Bruce Lee
Image
I've come to understand that life is best lived, not conceptualized.
Bruce Lee
Image
No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.
Bruce Lee

When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible.
Bruce Lee

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
