Adonis Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 He might have I Don't know. He was a phyislophy major and related alot of what he did with the martial arts with his philosophy work when he was studying in seattle, washington. Read some of his books and do some research on him to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeks Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 according to a biography, yes he did. he took it very seriously, yet when he taught students he only taught physical techniques....why is this crucial If you have just read the above message and agree with it then you may worship me as the best thing since sliced bread. Of course if you don't agree then hey, i'm a crazed lunatic and you should ignore my insane ramblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownstyle Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 i know he was a spiritual person, and he prayed i think. and he probably meditated "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Why is this question crusial?Furthermore, why are all of your questions "crucial", "critical", or "important"? I'm sure you could get an answer without making your questions seem so "pivotal" and "vital". 1st Degree Black Belt, Jhoon Rhee Style Tae Kwon Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atalaya Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 okay. so are you asking if to be a good martial artist, you should meditate? kung fu was developed as a physical expression of meditation. it had the side effect of being very powerful in defense, so it became a major martial art. roots: it was meditation! can you do kung fu or karate without meditation?> i don't think so. you may trick yourself into believing that kata isn't meditation, but think again! since regular movements are to be applied against someone or something, your imagining an opponent becomes a kind of mediation. some thoughts on karateKarateRanch Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeZero Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Bruce Lee was NOT the "first cross-trainer". It wasn't ever "taboo" to do that, lots of classical stylists would pull down some supplementary elsewhere. However, the extent to which Lee bounced between teachers was unusual. Read the Tao of Bruce Lee, and honestly there's nothing in it that you wouldn't get from a good classical stylist once you finished with the fundamental part of teaching yourself the movement theme of that art as a foundation.. with the 'get these basics down first' part being the kicker that Lee ran into.
