Bruce Lee
Image
The martial arts are based upon understanding, hard work and a total comprehension of skills. Power training and the use of force are easy, but total comprehension of all of the skills of the martial arts is very difficult to achieve.
Bruce Lee
Image
Self-Conquest is the greatest of victories. Mighty is he who conquers himself.
Bruce Lee
Image
If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow -- you are not understanding yourself.
