Bruce Lee - Commentaries on the Martial Way





All knowledge ultimately means self knowledge, said Lee in an interview. For Lee, to be a martial artist means also to be an artist of life. In Lee's pursuit of personal perfection, he walked a life of deep philosophy that urged him to seek answers and improvement. Bruce Lee was perhaps the best martial artist because he made himself that way, because he sought answers and resolutions. What set him apart from other martial artists was his understanding of the human dynamics of change. Most traditional martial artists taught a style of fighting that was set in stone—they gave a fixed set of moves and attitudes that defined their specific form of fighting. It reflects a very old form of thought given in Western philosophy in the words of Plato who believed in another realm of eternally static perfection to which we must mold ourselves. In the traditional view, change is imperfect; perfection is sought by denying change any relationship to the deeper, metaphysical reality.

I read Tony Jaa has become a Thai Buddhist monk, i'm not comparing him to Bruce Lee though, i just like the concept of muay thai that is "i don't have much but i'll use everything i have".

I'd also like to say that just as Bruce Lee Learned from and acknkolleged all of the techniqes of different martial arts that were useful to him, we should also hear what people like, William Cooper, Alan Watt, Alex Jones, even Michael Tsarion and David Icke have to say because although they all decieve you on a different topic each, we should seperat the lies from the facts and learn (remember) what is useful to what we ultimately want to know, which is the truth.

Hey, I read about that Li bloodline in Springmeier's work too and always wondered about a connection to Bruce Lee. I haven't seen much else written about it... these rags to riches stories are rarely what they seem though, especially when they end in mysterious early death. I love Tony Jaa as well ever since seeing Ong-Bak 1. I also agree about learning and taking what we can from everybody. Ultimately we all have to rely on our own intuitions and the inner-knowing will point the way. Peace
